i believe the correct answer is just grab a big old colt 45 and ask billy dee to "max and relax"

i am thinking this event will be a great place to pick up chicks.

I'm pretty sure the sketch I got from Timm last year was $50, which I think was an increase from the year before so I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to $60 or more this year.

Does he sketch pretty much anything, or is it just set characters/poses? It'll be my first time going, and I hate looking like a noob.

For some strange reason, I noticed it too. If the pic was an appropriate size for the forum, we may have missed it.

Anyone know how much it costs to get autographs? My girlfriend is coming cause she wants to meet the Twilight guys (whatever, it gets her to a comic expo :P ) and I really want an auto/pic with Nimoy. But if it's like $50 + for that I can't afford it and it'd be a colossal waste.

I went last year and I couldn't even walk around, it was ridiculously tight packed, don't think they could have arranged it any better just too many people for the space.

They doubled the size of the venue from last year.

Nimoy was charging $65-$75 at Florida’s FX International convention

I believe Spiner and Williams are 30 and Nimoy was 90.

I think he'll do just about any character so long as he knows how, but as far as I've seen he only ever does headshots and he picks the expression and stuff (though I've never asked for anything specific before, just said a character, so maybe I'm wrong).

This is also probably the last go-round for nimoy as well.

It's nice to have another place to wear my new "Flash" socks.

I've only been wearing them jogging up till now.
