I will always remember that first time the TNG cast got back together for the first time and it was for that s***show of a poorly organized Calgary Comic Expo where they were not prepared for the crowds. All the buildings were completely backed up with traffic jams. I remember hearing people from all over the world pushing and shouting through the crowds. Some folks from Germany were getting crushed. It was such a huge deal since the cast hadn't gotten all together before that time.
The entire cast was here and it was a huge deal. They all had the VIP treatment and you had to pay a fortune or line up in the insane crowds to meet them at their special guest booths. But, if you went over to the regular vendors room where all the riff raff have their tables up hocking their collectibles and home-made knick knacks. In the middle of it was Garrett Wang who had paid for his own vendors table, and he selling his own photos and nobody was going to see him.
Colm Meaney was also in town that exact same weekend and he was shafted. I bumped into him at Club Monaco in the core that same Comic Expo Weekend. He was bored in between filming episodes of Hell on Wheels. Anson Mount must have been around too back in those days but he had nothing to do with Trek at the time.
