I forgot to ask you, dolfyn: Both of the Pam pictures came out in good shape, right?

I'm back!!! Yay! I had such a fantastic time! Mr Katt was very sweet & accommodating. 1) Photo session I first went to his photo-booth session to get a special professional pic with him. The first thing I said to him was how excited I was to meet him & he said "Oh really? That's sweet." I told him I'm a member of " The Greatest American Hero" forum & he asked if that was here in Melbourne. I said no, that it's online, & he said "Oh, ok." He asked me my name & I told him. I put my arm around his waist to pose for the photo, & I was grinning like a fool. He had his arm around me & out of the corner of my eye I saw him turn his head to look at me a couple of times before the photo was taken. Then I thanked him & he shook my hand & asked me if I came to many of these things (meaning conventions). I said this was my 2nd time. I then told him I'd be at his panel Q&A & autograph session later, & that I had a little present for him that I'd give him then. I then thanked him again & practically skipped away to find my friends, still with a massive grin on my face! ;D ;D ;D I went & picked up my photo about a 1/2 hour after that. 2) The Panel My friends came with me to the Q&A session. I was explaining to one of them (she's only about 20yrs old!) all about the show. She seems interested in watching it. Mr Katt came in & first gave some background on the show & what he'd been doing around that time & how he became involved. He then opened it up for questions from the crowd. I asked one about any ad-libbing that they may have done on the show. Most of the questions from people were good ones (although, I already knew the answers to some of them) & WK was entertaining & amusing. I videoed almost the whole thing (although, my camera memory card ran out, & I had to video the 2nd half with my friend's camera, which was blurry!) I'll be posting the vids of the Q&A on YouTube in the next few days. 3) Autograph Session ;D This was the big one. He remembered me when I approached the table, which was nice. (I think he recognised me in the Q&A, too.) I pretty much videoed the signing session, but some of the audio isn't great because I gave my friend the camera at one point, & she stepped back a bit. Plus, there was a LOT of background noise. He seemed surprised & pleased that I had a copy of Pippin. Also, I asked him about his stunt on Circus of the Stars, & he said that he really did nearly fall off at the end! (My Mum had thought maybe it was a deliberate part of the act!) He signed my photo & my TGAH DVD cover, including 2 of the actual disks! Anyway, below are the vids & pics of the signing, & pics of his autographs.... ^ I'm "the sweetest gal"! William Katt says so! ;D (And yes, HD, the Pam photos in the print-out looked great!) My Mum was so impressed with my stories about my experience, that she wants to meet him! So I'm going again tomorrow to take her to the autograph session. He really is going to think I'm stalking him! heheheee! Now, I really must get some sleep. It's getting close to midnight here....... Feel the love. dolfyn.

I am glad you have fun. It was hard to hear, but what did he ask you about the print-out you gave him from the forum? At least "Marci says HI" was not the FIRST thing you said to him. I told you that you were a stalker.

It's official.
Marci not only stalks William Katt, but she is now stalking me.
As I was watching the video - no kidding here - she called me on my cell to ask if I saw the video.
I am afraid. Really afraid.
Glad you got to do that, Dolfyn, and thanks for handing him the printout.
I couldn't tell 100%, but I do think that you broke the great GAH board tradition. Shame shame on you. You didn't ask him if he'd heard the rumor that he was still hotter than Robert Culp...
Tsk tsk tsk.

Thanks for sharing your experience Dolfyn. Sounds like you had a lot of fun, and I hope you and your mum enjoy visiting him again tomorrow... or I guess today now.

Yes it's true. That I called her. It was funny.

I told you that you were a stalker. Look at you, throwing stones in your glass house! I'm sure you'd be just as "attentive" to Connie if you got the chance. When I gave him the print-out he said he wouldn't be able to read it just now, & I said "No, of course not, that's for you to keep & read later, it's a present". He thanked me & winked & smiled. ;D Thank you! It was worth it! I'm glad you had a good time. He is a great guy! Yes, he's lovely. One of my favourite moments was first meeting him in the photo booth, because it was a lot quieter in there, so we were able to speak in our normal voices. He's very quietly-spoken, which is nice. It's official. Marci not only stalks William Katt, but she is now stalking me. As I was watching the video - no kidding here - she called me on my cell to ask if I saw the video. I am afraid.

You didn't ask him if he'd heard the rumor that he was still hotter than Robert Culp... Tsk tsk tsk. Yeah, I know I didn't ask him that, but it's hard to remember everything in the moment (despite my having written stuff on a piece of paper to ask him, I barely looked at it!). But then, I could always ask him today, when I take my Mum! I think it's cute that she wants to meet him now. ;D heheee! That's funny about Marci "stalking" you! More stuff to come later. Feel the love. dolfyn.

I'll be posting up the Q&A vids, soon. It takes a while to get them onto YouTube. Ok, here's my Mum meeting WK today. Funny & sweet.... And pics.... ^ He wrote "So lovely to meet you". Aawwwww! ;D I think my Mum's quite smitten, now! Feel the love. dolfyn.

Good girl! You got the hotter than Culp and I got a double mention. He read your letter Jo! dolfyn is the girl. Now, What's going to happen when I see him in Jersey?...

Glad to see that your mother has the right idea, a picture signed with Katt that has Connie in it.

^ Got your priorities straight, as always, HD. My Mum chose that one because she thought I was a nice pic of WK. Although, we've both said many times how cute Ralph & Pam look together! ;D Good girl! You got the hotter than Culp and I got a double mention. He read your letter Jo! dolfyn is the girl. Now, What's going to happen when I see him in Jersey?... hehee. I've fulfilled all my forum duties, even if it was a little haphazard! It's funny how I sort of went all gushy in his presence each time. He really was sweet about it, though. And I did get him smiling or laughing a few times. When I was walking away from the signing table that last time with my Mum, I turned & looked back at him & he grinned & waved. ;D So Marci, are you going to tell him "hi" from me when you see him? Feel the love. dolfyn. PS Here's a silly vid my friends & I did afterwards on Saturday.

He was a good sport. Well Marci, I guess you could tell him that Genevieve & her Mum say "G'day from Melbourne". Feel the love. dolfyn.

Ok, finally, here are the clips from William Katt's Q&A at the expo. Part 3 is short because the memory card in my camera got full! And then my friend lent me her camera to film the rest, but it was blurry; so parts 4 to 6 may be a bit hard on the eyes, sorry! Anyway, enjoy.... (And now I must go & get some sleep, as it's nearly 1am & I have work tomorrow!) Feel the love. dolfyn.

I've gotten to watch most of the Q&A Dolfyn and they're very good questions - and some that I hadn't ever thought of asking myself, such as "Big Wednesday," which I didn't know they tried to do a sequel or reunion to. Did have one question, because it was where you had to change cameras, did Katt have much more to say about why "Greatest American Heroine" didn't take flight? All I heard was the "I don't know why it wasn't picked up," then the (I think) "there you go." Kinda interested to see if he had his opinion about it.
