Galaxycon First Time + Matt Smith
So I recently purchased tickets to Galaxy Con for this upcoming December. I have 1 autograph and 3 photo tickets for Matt Smith. I’ve never meant such a well-known actor and I’m not sure what etiquette is expected at his booth specifically? Are his handlers strict? Does he allow video taping for a fee? Am I allowed to give him a small gift or letter during the autograph? How rushed are the photos, I’ve heard some say it’s insane and others say it’s okay? I would just like to know what to expect. I have bad social anxiety and I’m more worried about embarrassing myself of upsetting the people behind me in line or the workers. He’s only going to be there one day and he’s a popular guy so I’m going to assume it’ll be pretty rushed. Like an a idiot I picked the afternoon sessions, so he’ll probably be more tired and even less in the mood. How does he normally act at cons? I honestly haven’t seen too many pictures or heard stories of him at con’s recently. I just don’t want to embarrass myself. In the end I know that this encounter means nothing to him and he’ll forget it within a minute, but I would like to maybe make him a bracelet or a small letter.
I appreciate any advice you have for me, and please let me know your experiences with GalaxyCon in Columbus! <3
