Comments: OMG! I swear to God, I never thought I'd get this back, and especially with such a cool inscription, but wow! To find this in the mail after coming home from DragonCon was like the icing on the cake! Jennifer is a great actress (just watch "Winter's Bone") and I love what I've seen of her personality on talk shows. I haven't seen many TTM successes reported from Jennifer -- but granted, she's a fairly new star and might not have received many requests. I saw where many people were getting their requests to the HG production office sent back RTS (return to sender, unopened) so I figured I wouldn't get mine back at all since it was sent so long ago. As far as I can tell from comparing it to in-person sigs, this may or may not be authentic. I can't find any signatures from Jennifer on the web that look alike! Based on the inscription, whoever signed it also read my letter. I teased and said that those yankees, the North Caroliners, had better treat her right while she's there or they'd have me to answer to (I live in a neighboring state). And for this inscription to be on a picture of Katniss is just amazing, if it's real. Best autograph day EVER! (If anyone has an authentic, in-person signature from her, please let me know. Id love to compare them!)

Update: After much debate and comparisons to other signatures on the fanmail.biz forums, the majority opinion now is that this is indeed a real signature. I don't know how I was so lucky to get such a cool inscription, but this has been bumped up to my favorite all-time autograph.

DragonCon 2011

Martin Landau

Comments: I love Mr. Landau! He starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, "Ed Wood," and won an Academy Award for his portrayal of one my all-time favorite people, Bela Lugosi. He was also in "Mission: Impossible" and the first "The X-Files" movie. So when I met Mr. Landau, I told him how much I loved him in these roles and told him I thought he was amazing! He was so grateful. He grabbed my hand and told me "Thank you" a few times, and then we chatted some about our favorite scenes from "Ed Wood" - it's a movie he loves as well. I was holding up the line, so I didn't get to spend as much time chatting with him as I'd have liked, but I was so honored that he grabbed and held my hand -- not once but twice -- and kept telling me thank you! A truly dear man who I am grateful I had the chance to meet!

Comments: One thing I like about DragonCon is that you really have a chance to meet some big stars one on one, and I have been a fan of Eliza's for years - since she first starred on Buffy. She's a tough signer to get through the mail, so I went to her signing line first. She was so nice to everyone! Because her line was probably the longest there, I didn't get to talk to her much, but I did tell her that I loved her from "Tru Calling" and still miss that show, to which she replied, "At least we were able to keep it on for a little while." Then I told her that my niece was probably the biggest Buffy fan in the universe and that that same niece had also made me watch "Wrong Turn" (a movie Eliza stars in) more times than I personally cared for. She laughed and said, "Awesome!" She's guest starring on "White Collar" soon on the USA Network, and I'm looking forward to seeing her on screen again with her "Tru Calling" co-star Matt Bomer!


Sean Patrick Flanery

Comments: Wow, what can I say about this one? Sean Patrick Flanery has been one of my favorite actors since I was in high school. He has been in so many movies - many of them independent - and TV shows and is such a good, underrated actor! I've been trying to get his signed picture through the mail for a long time! Even better, I got to meet him! I was so nervous too. I mean, at his age, he is still a very hot man! I told him that I'd seen probably all of his movies and that my favorites were "Powder," "Lone Hero" and "Ten Inch Hero," but it's so hard to choose because he's made so many! He told me he was thrilled to meet such a fan and that he hoped he made lots more movies I would check out. You know I will, Mr. Flanery. You know I will. ;)


Joe Manganiello

Comments: I have a confession to make. I was never a fan of Joe's until recently. I HATED his character on "One Tree Hill" and disliked him as Flash in "Spider-Man" too. But when I started watching season 3 of "True Blood" last month and met Alcide for the first time, I quickly revised my opinion and jumped aboard the bandwagon of fans who totally love him. Plus, what can I say? He's extremely hot. I didn't really say much to him, in fact, because his hotness rendered me completely speechless. I could only stare. And I am being completely serious. Still, he was very nice and friendly, and I enjoyed his personality in the True Blood Q&A immensely!
