But i really relish the thought of meeting the actors and hopefully getting some autographs. There are autographs on all 3 days. Why?
Hi, and welcome!
Who sits at the autograph sessions can vary from day to day. Some actors might be present for all of them, but others might not be available all 3 days so they'll only sit at 1 or perhaps 2 of them, and it's not unusual that some actors won't be able to stay for the entire session. The actual autograph sessions can involve long lines, but the good news is that L.A. Fests usually attract much smaller crowds than their East coast counterparts. Also, some stars will have tables in the dealer's room(s) while the scheduled events are going on, which affords an opportunity to meet them briefly, talk with them, get an autograph and maybe even pose for a photo. Stars that often have a table are KLS in the Pomegranate Press area, Marie Wallace, Lara Parker, and Diana Millay. You might find lines at their individual tables, but nothing like the lines for the autograph sessions.
You may have noticed that there are no scheduled breaks for meals, shopping for merchandise, etc., so it's up to you to fit them in. And in case you were wondering, costumes are optional at the Costume Gala.
It's often a person's first Fest that's the most exciting. You're going to have a blast!
