Re: GenCon UK mini-report [semi-OT I guess...]

<jon@gzero.dungeon.com> made us all *insanely* jealous by 
writing:

>>> Highlight of the Con has to be Claudia Christian as 
GOH, who is a lovely lady with an evil sense of humour and 
a staggering capacity for alcohol. <<<

>>> Jon (GZG), who probably disclaims most of the 
responsibility for anything said above and will deny 
eveything if pressed. Having had Claudia cuddle up to me 
for a photo, my life is now complete.... :) <<<
 
To which Mark replied:
>> SIGH.... Claudia was at US GenCon too.  However I have 
this "thing" about celebrities; they make me nervous.  The 
best I could do was catch the occasional glimpse of her 
signing autographs at the Precedence booth.

Then Jon wrote:
> The really nice thing is that instead of being shepherded 
around by minders and organisers and only allowed near us 
slavering gamers under carefully controlled conditions, 
Claudia (and the other guests) was mixing freely with 
everyone and having a great time (until she fell down while 
very, very drunk and did something nasty to her ankle - she 
was in plaster on Saturday....). I got some lovely photos 
of her signed (paid for them, but all money to charity), 
got the latest issue of SFX signed across an interview with 
her and spent a good while just chatting with her. <

But did you give her examples of CR-2A and -2B? After all, 
these days, true fame is being made into a figurine, and 
GZG did it for the gorgeous Claudia before anyone else!

I still say that you should do GC versions of Ivanova and 
Delenn.

Phil, official GZG-approved pervert to this list, 
reminding everyone _how_ I got that "title" <g>. BTW, Mark, 
how about some details about the red-head?
