those prices were eye gouging. I'd happily pay $1000 for an autograph & a professional photo, even up to $1500. But £1500! That's quite the price tag. Still jealous that you were able to attend an event like this. Maybe now he'll start doing a few more personal appearances. I'd fly anywhere in the United States to meet him.
After attending a few Q&A sessions, I've come to realize that there will always be at least a person that will ask them dumbest things. At a Linda Hamilton & Michael Biehn Q&A I attended, some guy asked Linda if she liked Brandon Lee movies. Linda, Michael & everyone in the audience was just like "WTF?"
