: The highlight of the show was for many, myself included, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. Unfortunatly I had no idea tickets were needed to get autographs. Its not that I didnt show up early, I showed up a little before they even opened the doors along with the rest of the 501'st (Im a member), I just didnt find out about the autograph tickets. In fact I didnt even see Kevin Smith OR Jason Mewes both days I was there. I figured there were just going to be set times that they gave autographs and you would just have to wait in line, not have a ticket and wait in line. Im sure that autographing and dealing with fans is draining, so Im not blaming anyone if that is what this comes off as. I just wish there would have at least been pre signed photos or something like that so I could have at least got Kevins and Jasons autographs if I wasnt going to meet them (let alone see them).
: Also, a question: I didn't get to see this happen(as I didnt have tickets), but I was in the hallway outside the room of the Q&A session when it happened and got to hear it. The 501st presented plaques and honorary membership at the Q&A, but were ridiculed as being losers. The group had mixed feelings about this. None were mad. Some said "it was just their style. What did you expect from Jay and Silent Bob? We should take it as a compliment!" The rest were just bumbed about having Kevin and Jason thinking were a bunch of losers and dont realy give a crap about what we presented them with. I was just curious as to what your feelings actualy were?
