The saddest part of conventions like this.
I went to a horror convention last year. Lots of people in costumes, which I liked. Lots of eye candy, which I liked. Neat stuff to buy, celebs to meet. Good so far. What was sad, though, was seeing has-beens sitting by themselves at tables, waiting to be noticed.
Case in point: there was Erin Grey, who I used to have the hots for when she starred in Buck Rogers. Nobody was going up to her, so I stopped by, said hi, told her I was a fan of her and the show, and then awkward silence. I didn't want to buy an autographed photo or any other chochkas. She didn't know what to say. So, I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was doing small movies and shows (that's good), and then, a fumbled parting.
Well, maybe an Erin Grey fanatic showed up later. I hope so, anyway.
