How I met Michael Garrett Shanks

The Last Convention I went to was the one I try to go to the most often- the only one left, it seems, in my area. I met Mr. Michael Shanks.

I saw him on stage for a bit, the regular Con Q&A. Afterwards, he signed an autograph for me- that got smudged as I was putting it in the photo-pocket!

HE’s a wonderful person, great laugh; incredible eyes and a lot more built than I had previously imagined.

I would love to meet him again- get a new pic signed, but I don’t NEED that to enjoy the experience of meeting him. (Though, It’d be nice!) He signed the last one to both me and the ex… This one would be just to me!

My favorite memory of Brent Spiner

I tracked this guy througout New England, New York and Montreal through most of the 90’s. I was WILD for the guy- Loved him crazy, Named my Cat “Lore” (went with my Pagan schtick at the time) after seeing him in New Hampshire.

I never got as close as a handshake- not for lack of trying! But my Favorite memory was dressing up for a Convention in New York to maybe get his attention.

Somehow he ALWAYS points me out at these things. The Romulan in Montreal, the Pakled-Chic Android in NH- practically always!

This time. I was watching him, He’s hillarious, I usually feel elated just being in his presence- but I was exhausted getting up there from RI, my Family insisting on checking all the sites around the hotel…

Anyway. He does okay with his hour or so of Q&A, I had no idea he noticed me, I was in a torn Karate gee and a ruffled skirt over a purple turtle neck. Just as he’s wrapping up, I guess he saw me a little bemused, he points to me and goes “Hey, I know you, You’re ‘Lal!’”

I don’t remember how I reacted (don’t know if it was the most polite I could have pulled!) But I’ll never forget how he always seems to point me out!

I haven’t seen him in a while and I would love him to point me out again, if ever again we meet.

A story about SARK

I just love how upbeat and honest she is about everything! She’s handed me the “Flashlight through my dark places.” and I love her for it!
