Everybody Dies Alone.


So I don't have any pictures sadly (the photo ops were expensive) but today at Wizard World I met Jewel Staite. She was let me tell you the sweetest actress i've met since Daphne Ashbrooke (Star Trek DS9 or The 8th Doctor Who's companion). She was so personable and very sweet and she ended up holding the line to talk to me for a good 3-4 minutes. She was so very sweet and she liked my Mal cosplay so when I asked her to put a cute Kaylee quote she responded "I was already prepared you totally got ahead of me!". She ended up writing "I love my Captain" and put a little heart with her name on it. The only thing bad about the experience was the staff at Wizard World. So before Jewel showed up one of the volunteers actually took my limited Ghost Variant Serenity and almost bent it in half throwing it on the table. I ended up going back to thank Jewel for the autograph and for being so nice and the handler just told me NO without even asking Jewel. I even told her I just wanted to thank Jewel and she still told me and everybody else "NO WE ARE PICKING UP!" and that was that. Jewel didn't even have any idea that anybody wanted to thank her. The handlers and staff at this years WW were pretty rude but she was very sweet and i'll cherish my autograph forever because she was an absolute sweetie. She loves to say she isn't like Kaylee but today she totally was lol!

Fans are obsessive, they have to be rude. It's not a job I'd like to have...

I agree 100% and I didn't take it personal. Jewel was so nice and sweet that if it were up to her she would've let me thank her. It's actually the rules of the con and the handler is there to tell Jewel the rules that Staite has to follow. For instance Jewel was not allowed to take any pictures with anyone unless it was the 45 dollar photo op. She couldn't even take pictures with little kids at all. It's the rules of the con and one of the rules is that you can't approach celebrities at all so I didn't take it personal. It wasn't like Jewel herself yelled at me or cursed at me because she didn't she was very sweet and really gave me an awesome message on my autograph. It's just the rules of the con and it's the handlers job but it still is a little rude though. Wizard World has those complaints about it all over the country. In fact the only reason I was allowed to walk up to the actor who plays The Governor on The Walking Dead last year and talk to him was because his handler went for lunch lol!

Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.

Love hearing first hand experiences like this, especially when it's so positive! I am likely not alone in gathering a sort of 'who's cool' and who's not list, and I am not surprised Jewel is on the cool list.

From me you can add Karl Urban, Edward James Olmos and Katie Sackhoff to the very cool list (from first hand experience). Ron Perlman may be ok from others experiences but I didn't get anything but 'I'm full of myself' from him.
