Thanks, guys!
It was a fun, amazing evening and a high from which I have not yet come down.
George seemed very relaxed and worked the entire reception like a pro. I came away with 4 autographs for myself and 3 for some Rebelscum friends who asked me to try to get their items signed. He was so accessible and accommodating.
Jason - yes, I paid for the reception tickets for both my wife and myself. Not cheap, but in retrospect, a bargain for what turned out to be an unforgettable evening.
As for whether he seemed bored, he seemed very engaged to me and was talking to some smaller kids very warmly. It was fun to watch. He cracked a few jokes at the expense of the Directors Guild of America when asked why he did not use Irvin Kershner for ROTJ. It was great.
As for his face in the above pics, well, George has never been Mr. Million Dollar Smile now has he?
Here are some pics of my autograph haul:
These are all 8x10s:
Never thought I'd get this one signed - it was my wife's idea, but GL actually reacted to it, saying "hey look at that", my boys on Halloween:
And, finally, the piece I really, really wanted. The 11x14 that will go with my 11x14 Ford and Fisher autos. Leaves only one left to go.
I love how this one turned out - he signed where I was hoping and covered a nice bit of real estate, too!
