Actually it wasn't Faye's character that had the alien baby, but a girl named "Robin Maxwell"! Another unintentional GAH connection! :-) The part that freaked me out as a kid was Diana's swallowing of the live mouse via jawbone dislocation. We have a convention nearby in Knoxville, TN called AdventureCon which I hope the GAH cast might show up at. They've had some heavy hitters in the past...I've met Robert Englund and John Rhys-Davies there a couple of years ago, and Billy Dee Williams, Walter Koenig, Denise Crosby, and even Richard Kiel (Anyone remember "Hysterical"?) was there this year. I saw Gil Gerard and Erin Gray there a few years back. Erin looked good, but I swear we did not recognize Gil right away. Anyone who has seen him in the last decade knows what I'm talking about. :-) Oh... must've gotten them mixed up there. Sorry.  Yet, there's now two ties: the name Robin Maxwell and Grant in the "V" series. It was also neat to see Robert Englund in one of the few times I know of him playing a good guy and not Freddy Krueger. And the mice bit as well as Faye being tortured in the chamber and running away from the monster in the corridor with preserved (well, looks like that) humans also scared the daylights out of me when I was little.  |

Ok. Here's my first report on Katt at DragonCon.
Mr. Noir's best mate (mate, as in friend... he's English, you know...) is at the Con. Before he left, I gave hime one assignment...
Hunt Down William Katt...
Get a custom made autograph made out to me...
Have him write something very specific on it....
Report back...
So he wrote down exactly what I wanted Katt to write on an autograph and went a-hunting...
I got a phone call at 12:50 today that:
1) Indeed he found Katt
2) Yes, he got the autograph
3) William Katt loved what I had him write down, and he was laughing really hard for a real long time about it, and that I made his day
4) William Katt said that I pretty much summed up the whole series in one sentence....
5) Then William Katt told Mr. Noir's friend to tell me... yes... he actually said this... and I quote...
"Tell Jo she's a lot of fun...."
Ok, he used my real name, not Jo, but you get the picture... and soon I will too.
Life is good.
First I made Wierd Al laugh in his bus...
Then I made William Katt's day...
Just wait till I pull together a little something-something for Robert Culp...
Next mission... Hunt down Robert Culp, and get a companion autograph...
Oh, MOOOOOOONA! Yoooou-hoooooooo!!!
So, as soon as I get my autograph, I will reveal it...

Hello, Jo, Glad you got Katt's autograph, as it seems to make you very happy. As you can imagine, Katt is not a mission for me, but Culp, well.... ANYONE going to Culp's October LA gig? I'd love to meet someone from the list. I'm going. Warning: Culp may not actually be showing up in the building after he parks his car. It depends on if my very large net arrives in time...it's on back-order right now...damn...  Mona (heh-heh-hehing and rubbing her hands together) |

LOL! Well, yes, it makes me happy... especially what I had him write. My main goal in life will therefore be to get a "Reply autograph" from both Robert Culp and Connie Selleca, and have all three framed together.
I can't wait to get it and show it... |

I wish I could've gone to this or got someone to do an autograph, but too many factors - mostly work - were involved. But, unless he ever gets to come to Texas, I probably won't. Same goes for any of the cast sadly, at least for a long time and for the same reasons.

Mr. Noir has decided that for the next DragonCon, he is going in a GAH themed costume.
He is going to wear a suit, a set of Croucho Marx nose and glasses, a blond wig with his dark hair sticking out...
He's going as Dennis Madalone....
Or he's going to put the GAH symbol on his Star Wars costume, and he'll go as a Madalonian....

By the way, this is Mr. Noir's clan at Dragon Con... The one on the right with the yellow and black helmet got the autograph of Katt...
By the way...
Did anyone know this?

Too funny Jo. I have to admit it must've been interesting for him to ask for Katt's autograph wearing that outfit. I knew Madalone had appeared in Star Trek, I just didn't know it's been as many times as they show - or just about every series after the original one. He's also played a lot of the major species too (Klingon, Borg, Bajoran, etc.), which is really cool.  Guess I need to watch some of these eps again now. |

Dang! Well, time to break out one of my favorite quotes: "I, myself, am deeply jealous."  |

Some hotties there. Why waste time with Katt when this Don guy was taking pictures of such hot girls? |

Ok. Here we go. A few photos from Dragon Con 2007, courtesy of my friend, Jackboot... (who is best known for dressing in Jedi gear and going as a very convincing Quigonjin)
Here he is!
Hey! Wait! Could it be? Do you have a little bit of the love of GAH in you, after all? I mean, the fact that you even KNOW that the suit should be worn underneath clothes says you're a closet GAH fan...
This is my new t-shirt. He was just trying it on for me.
Thank you, Jack!!

WHO IS THIS GAH?!?
Here is a photo of a mystery GAH. Is this anyone here on the boards?
IDENTIFY YOURSELF!
