Autographs and a very special photo session
Before I write about the highlight of the day - the joint panel of Bruce Boxleitner and Peter Jurasik - there are some more “goings-on” to mention.
First of all getting JCB’s autograph. It was a gut decision, I hadn’t planned it all, but after carefully re-calculating my budget … oh, there’s no point pretending: I loved her character and since she was already in Germany …
At FedCon, there were two different kinds of autograph sessions: there were the “permanent …

So, no blow by blow account but rather highlight after highlight - come to think of it, that amounts to the same thing. Since this is getting very long already, I will …

FedCon XVII (or FedCon 17) is over, but I am still not quite back home yet. Physically yes, but mentally - NO! This was one of the most amazing weekends I’ve ever had and as much as I try to compile all my experiences in a con-report, this is still too much.
