I am so excited to share with you that I attended Metro Entertainment event.

It was not a conference and many people complained about the strict rules. I almost wanted to leave.  Everybody got stressed out before the guests arrived, but than it went smoothly as we were provided with a free photo of each actor and they autographed them.  Staff [did] not allow taking of "personal photography" saying that the guests requested this rule. You would need to buy an autograph and picture and Polaroid taken. (I paid for Polaroid but had them take picture with my camera).

I was so excited to see Greg Lee that I was shaking and talked really nervous. He was just as I expected, fine and friendly, but a bit serious or tired. He signed photo with "To Vika, Thanks for the support." "Zack" and signature.  When I asked him if he is coming back the next season he pointed at Richard Gunn and J.C. MacKenzie to ask them. They said that he DOES come back.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I mentioned to Greg about IMDB.com missing his photo and it looked like he will have it fixed.

I was surprised to learn that Richard and J.C. look so much more interesting in life than on the show and they were so charming and fun (comparing to their characters on DA), which proved what great actors they are. J.C. absolutely knocked me off my feet with his charm. It was a great surprise and now he has me as one of his fans.

Well, needless to say that they made my day!!!

Best regards,
Vika
