LOL!
Yeah, I met him at Celebration III. He was like the biggest star that was there doing autographs, and the lines were ridiculously long so I figured I wouldn't get a chance to get his. Lo and behold I go into the autograph hall one day, and NO ONE is in his line. So I run through the line maze and finally get there and HOLY CRAP it's really Billy Dee Williams!
So I am like... gushing like a fanboy but I can barely say anything. Finally, I blurt out (in a very tiny voice lol) if he could make the signature out to me. As soon as I ask it, the two buff security guys flanking him from behind lean forward and (rudely) inform me: "No personalizations." But as soon as they say that, Billy Dee just holds up a single hand, looks at me and asks, "You said Chris, right?"
Oh man, it was so cool. I probably gushed something about how I loved him in the movies and grew up with 'em blah blah blah, and when he finished, I instinctively reached out to shake his hand. Because that's usually how it goes with the autographs: they personalize it, you blab for a second and then get a handshake and move on. Well I put my hand out and the security guys again lean forward and start to tell me that Billy Dee doesn't do handshakes. But he just held up his hand again, and I got to shake the man's hand.
I got the pictures sittin' right here on my desk next to me. The whole "I'm gonna scan these in one of these days..." things that I have to do. I should get on that...
