I may have to try to find a copy of Enemy Mine to watch in remembrance.

        It was Dragon Con in Atlanta. I met him on the elevator and I told him how much I enjoyed his work. He was very polite and congenial, asked a question or two about me. Then he got off the elevator. It wasn’t more than a couple minutes.

          Oh fun. I went to DragonCon several times in the 90s as a vendor (and performer with the Atlanta Radio Theater Company). Had a great time and I also got to meet some cool celebrities.

          I doubt it’s like it used to be now. We went to Indianapolis ComicCon this year and it was ridiculous. Famous people are now charging $60 for an autograph. It’s become thoroughly commercialized. I remember when cons used to have a “we put this together, but just barely” feel to them. It was much more fun.
