On the whole, I'm just not an autograph (or even celebrity) person. But I guess if people don't mind, they don't mind.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289772971099476495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-87519857943288891702015-03-04T19:04:33.499-08:002015-03-04T19:04:33.499-08:00Yeah, the paid autograph and photo thing creeps me...Yeah, the paid autograph and photo thing creeps me out a bit too. It reminds me of Creation and Wizard World cons, which are just a little mercenary and slimy. Not to say that I haven't had fun at those kinds of cons (particularly Creation cons) but the whole thing just reeks of a money grab from the moment you buy your tickets to the moment you leave. ECCC doesn't seem like a money grab at all... until you get to that autograph/photo area. It just rubs me the wrong way. <br /><br />I guess, to be fair, SDCC has that area in the Sails where B and C list celebs charge for their autographs. But they have to sign a contract with CCI that they will sign the program guide for free. So it feels a bit less weird... maybe it's just me.Transmute Junnoreply@blogger.com
