They were so great and loved interacting with us.  This convention has something that others probably doesn\u2019t have, a more relaxed and intimate feeling.  The guests are never rushed and you\u2019re never rushed to get signed autographed pictures from them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">So a little while later, I went to Casey\u2019s table first, and having a chit-chat about how he\u2019s enjoying himself, he told me that other then the fog, he was having a great time.  He asked me if I was at the convention yesterday (April 17th), of which I said, no, couldn\u2019t get a baby sitter.  He informed me that he preformed at the Catina that the convention has had the past couple of years.  Something that you can get up on stage and sing, act out something, read poetry, whatever turned your crank.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After some time of trying to decide on what to get, I opted for a <strong>Star Trek DS9<\/strong> trading card with Casey\u2019s character &#8211; <strong>Damar<\/strong> and <strong>Rene Auberjonois<\/strong>\u2019 character &#8211; Odo.  Casey said that if we are lucky enough to get Rene here, I can have him sign it as well.

I asked how he was enjoying his time here and he said the same, loved it here.  That\u2019s when I noticed that he had a handbook of places to go to here in Newfoundland.  He asked me if I was from here.  I told him sort of, I\u2019m living in here but I grew up in a community 1.5 hours away from here.  He asked it\u2019s name, I said Cavendish.  That\u2019s when he took out his travel book and had a map of all of Newfoundland and asked where it is. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">At this time I pointed to the little dot for St. John\u2019s and showed him handy about where I grew up.  That\u2019s when he asked what part of Newfoundland it\u2019s called.  I told him Trinity Bay.  He was very curious, something you very rarely get.  That\u2019s when he told me that he had plans on going to one of our parks, <strong>Terra Nova Provincial Park<\/strong>.  I chuckled and told him that, that part was three hours away.  He opted for a much closer location to visit. LOL  After our lovely chat, I asked if I could get a picture with him.  I never realized just how short he was, lol<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2010 SciFi on the Rock - Karen Ford and Max Grodenchik\" href=\" http:\/\/kdford.livejournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12623\" title=\"2010 SciFi on the Rock - Karen Ford and Max Grodenchik\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-SciFi-on-the-Rock-Karen-Ford-and-Max-Grodenchik.jpg\" alt=\"2010 SciFi on the Rock - Karen Ford and Max Grodenchik\" width=\"576\" height=\"383\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><a title=\"Click image above to visit Karen on Live Journal\" href=\" http:\/\/kdford.livejournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Click image above to visit Karen on Live Journal.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">By this time it was soon time for the first Q&amp;A, so I went upstairs yet again to see what room it was going to be in.  Realizing that it was <strong>Nalini <\/strong>first, I went back downstairs to nab her before the session started.  That\u2019s when I asked her if it was OK with her to video her session and to have it hosted on this site.  She was concerned at first, but when I informed her of the professional group of people that run this site and that we are a credited news agency that reports from other conventions from all over the place, she then asked for the site\u2019s address.
