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.

Ahahahaha!!! I wasnt at Comic-Con because its always at the end of Tax Season, so this must have been later, but I was downtown and ran into Anson Mount and Common (Hell on Wheels) having beers at the Garage!
I find it so funny now because...I run into Mount and Common and the first thing I asked Mount about was working with Colm Meaney...because I'm a huge Star Trek fan...and now Mount is Captain Pike on SNW.
I always say this now: Anson Mount is not an actor. He is genuinely always that cool.
Common was really cool and nice too. I loved Hell on Wheels. Someone get Meaney and Common onto SNW! That episode would be EPIC. Make it about a train and somehow Miles comes back from the future, but O'Brian must suffer.
Make it happen!
