- Procuring a free Stargate SG-1 t-shirt within the first two minutes of entering the hall
- Buying a USB hub cleverly disguised as a TARDIS. It has sound effects.
- Getting strapped into a corset over my Groo t-shirt
- Meeting Q (John De Lancie). I almost didn't recognize him. He has great hair people on set. They apparently did not come with him.
- Asking the science officer of the Starship Voyager if he would like some tape to hold together the booth where he and the aforementioned omnipotent Q were signing autographs.
