Calgary report Part Two of two
May. 12th, 2013 01:43 pmSo, where did we leave off in Part One? I've gotten autographs from Nathan Fillion and RDA, and had my 1:30 photo op with RDA and MS.
Here's the site map again, for reference. The photo op was in the Big Four building (bottom right). I need to trek over to Buildings D&E (upper left) next to get Michael's autograph added onto a picture of Daniel and Jack. And here's where I make my first real miscalculation: I act like I have all the time in the world. I sit down on a bench and soak up some sunshine while chatting with another Expo-goer. Michael is scheduled to begin signing autographs at 2:30; when I left him he was still doing photo ops, and of course he has to make the journey back to D&E, too.
I failed to consider that there might not have been all that many people in the photo op line behind me, and that he was going to be transported by cart instead of having to trek by foot, and that there were going to be a lot of people lining up for him whether he'd arrived yet or not, since because of his flight delay, this is the very first time he's signing (as opposed to the original 10 am schedule.) And I just plain lost track of the time, too. I think it was 2:45 and I was still sitting on that bench! So I hot-footed it over to Hall D only to find myself in the second overflow line for his autograph. Arghh!
