Well, I'll tell as much as I remember. It'll be hard though as I
was in a fog from the moment he grasped my hand in his and gave me
one of those beautiful smiles that makes his nose scrunch up a
little. :::SIGH:::
OK....Sorry. Here goes.
I got there two hours late, so unfortunately I missed Teryl. Got
there just in time for the photo with Michael though:-)
When he walked out on stage...he greeted the crowd with warmth. He
had to wait about ten minutes to start the show though 'cause
everyone pretty much rushed the stage area for photos of him. He was
very kind about it....posed a bit...did the muscle flex
thing....commented that he knew we wanted him to turn around, so he
did,to our EXTREME delight! There were so many camera flashes that he
commented "...It kinda feels like I'm having a stroke!"
When the questions started...one woman greeted him, "Hey there hot-
stuff." Upon which he replied something to the effect of...'Why do I
feel like I'm at the wrong convention? This feels like a porno
convention!' The crowd went wild here.
He was asked who he would shoot if he were given a zat and the
opportunity....In a tone that spoke of 'Isn't it obvious?', he
said ...'Of coarse it would be Judge.'
That...or something similar...brought on a conversation about the
Zats. "What does the Zat look like?" Mike asks very slowly. Again,
the crowd goes into hysterics. "Now, I'm very comfortable with my
sexuality....but I have a problem using those things." He confesses.
He said they've questioned the props people on the mechanics of the
zat. Apparently the zat, when opened, has a little piece in it that
jutts in and out of the 'HEAD'. "Daniel does not use a Zat. He uses a
Magnum!!! He can beat someone over the head with the gun...but he's
not using that thing!"
Then someone asks...boxers or briefs? Michael's reply....COMMANDO!
There was a child of about 7 or 8 years of age there that wanted
Mike to do a Thor impression and when he wasn't quick enough with it,
the child decided to entertain himself and the audience. Mike gave
him the microphone and the center stage. When he tried to take the
mic back, the kid wouldn't relinquish it. Mike practically had him in
a full nelson to pry it away, then yells, "Um..Mom..Dad...SECURITY!"
Well now...there's more, but I can't think of it just now. I'm
sure lots of others will cover it though. All in all...had the time
of my life. Michael was warm hearted, funny as hell, gracious, and
BEAUTIFUL!
