but the Aliens cast will be in Houston in June. Oh my lawd....I've never-ever spent money to meet a celeb, but Aliens is one of my favorite action films of all time. Yes I rate it above Terminator 2.

• Ripley - check
• Newt - check
• Hicks - check
• Hudson - check
• Burke - check
• Vasquez - check
• Drake - check
• Bishop - check

btw, Kate Beckinsale & Eliza Dushku will be there also....mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Has anyone else shelled out cash at one of these conventions to meet a celeb/writer/artist?

Spent 20 bucks to get a picture signed and meet Malcolm McDowell a couple of weekends ago in Charlotte. I like doing it but I'm generally not a big fan of autograph shows, they have taken over the con business and the guests have really jacked up the prices as it's become almost a full time business,

This. You can't just waltz over and see them. You have to get in line hours ahead of time. And even buy your way at times.

Err, they are selling some type of "fast pass / express" ticket line is that what you guys are talking about? Then the photo cost above that. Damn. I've got the disposable income, but I'd rather take a weekend to Cabo instead. Decisions, decisions.

I've never been to any of these, I don't know anyone "IRL" that would go with me.   I was working at a job once where we wanted to go to the west coast Comic Comic but I left and we lost touch (one of the guys helped coordinate DragonCon here ever year I think).
