Daniel Logan and Mary Oyaya, as well as old favorites Carrie
Fisher, Anthony Daniels and Jeremy Bulloch.
Take a

X TALKS AUTOGRAPHS AND EWOKS IN DALLAS
February 14 |
Gary X
One of my
own guilty pleasures is a relatively new weekly podcast put together by
husband and wife team of Arnie and Marjorie C from
Springfield, Illinois. They're celebrating six months of weekly shows
and I gotta admit I love their "laid back" presentation (not to mention
that they're a real husband and wife duo who enjoy Star Wars
collecting). I did an interview with them this past weekend in Dallas
about Wattographs, Star Wars autographs and the
Connoisseur Series which I had a good time participating with. We're
going to be having an autograph contest in conjunction with them, but I
won't spoil it here...you'll have to listen to get the details...
"Star Wars Action News has been on the air for
six months now, and we bring you our most geographically ambitious
episode to date! Arnie and Marjorie went to Dallas, TX to have a
wonderful steak, and it just so happened Anthony Daniels was signing
autographs at the Sci Fi Expo Fan Day in Richardson, TX. They discuss
the finds (or lack thereof) on the drive from Illinois to Texas, and
interview Gary X from Wattographs at the con."
You can listen to their podcast
HERE.
Thanks for the kind words, Arnie and Marjorie -- I look forward
to more fun things with you!
DALLAS ANTHONY DANIELS REPORT
February 13 |
Gary X
"So, I'm
finally back from Dallas with our Anthony Daniels' signing! It
was a quick trip, with me flying down to Dallas on Friday and back on
Sunday...needless to say, one gets pretty tired even on a SHORT trip
like this one!
The
event was a "Fan Day," put on by the Dallas Sci-Fi Expo/Dallas Comic
Con. These events are put on by Ben Stevens, who runs
Official Pix and he definitely knows how to put an event together.
Major conventions could take a lesson from him. The event was at the
Richardson Events Centre in Richardson, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. It
was a one-day, no-admission event."

NEW
SMALLER OFFICIAL PIX LABELS
February 13 |

Official Pix has changed
the labels which appear on each photograph they sell. The
prismatic circular label has gone from 1.25" down to an inch.
While it's not a huge difference, when seen in context, it is
actually pretty noticeable compared side-by-side with the old
label.
I had a chance to speak
with Ben Stevens of Official Pix, who showed me the new
labels, which will be used from now on. He indicated that photos
which are already in stock previous to the new label's debut
will probably have the larger labels until that stock is
depleted.
Initially, I was pretty
critical of the labels on the front, when OP first started
offering officially-licensed photographs. After seeing them in
person last year, I realized that scans or digital pictures of
the label only make them look unattractive. These labels
actually add some panache to the images and they only say "Star
Wars Officially Licensed Photograph." There is no other
"advertising in the label. Official Pix will continue to
keep their company name in very small print in the lower right
hand corner of the images, which also has the required Lucasfilm
copyright information.
