Shatner's coming!

All i can say is: Wow.

I'm not a huge fan or anything, but it seems like dragon*con is slowly attracting bigger stars each year.

Agreed...it seems this con finally has the reputation to draw someone this big. It looks like it's soon going to be the Comicon of the East Coast.

Cool that they now added Mr. Priceline Negotiator to the guest list for D*con.

That's great that the big captains of Star Trek will be there: Shatner, Nimoy (he was captain of the Enterprise briefly), Stewart, and Mulgrew. I don't have time to try and get their autographs (let alone the $$) but that's still great for those who are ST fans.

I find it interesting that Shatner's charging 80 for a photo while Stewart is charging 200

I find that pretty bewildering. Not only that, but you can also get a photo of him and Leonard Nimoy for 160 dollars. That sounds like a much better bargain, even though the time is much more limited (Friday, 11:15am only).

Where are people getting the price list? I guess my Google-fu is weak because I haven't been able to find anything listing the prices for autographs or photos, but I keep reading things secondhand. If anyone has a link or could post a price guide at least for the Trek people, I would be super appreciative.

I have no idea about autographs, but the photo prices I'm getting from froggy's photo website - the person who does the photos (i won't go into my opinion of it all) but that's where i'm getting mine just google that and you'll get his website

The Star Trek fangirl in me is imploding already, and I'm not even near Atlanta yet. I hope my friends are ready to carry me out after I faint in front of Patrick Stewart.... xD

My inner Trek fan is jumping for joy about this news!! I soooo want that picture with Shatner and Nimoy, but I do not have the $$ for that picture right now. Focusing on other stuff. I just want to meet them and say HI. That'll keep me happy for the rest of my life.
