It takes us a while to get motivated in the morning. Some of us in the group are jet-lagged, others are still recovering from Stephanie's Killer Peach Slushies. Eight of us manage to meet up and decide to hit the autograph room in force. There are even bets among the group that Carmen has already called his agent and disappeared from the con.

To our surprise, Carmen sees the group and immediately displays his elbows for us. (Yes, I think this means Carmen is a tease.) He appears quite proud of his elbows.

Unfortunately Padawan Claire's hands were still shaking from the affects of Peach Slushies. Ok - she was laughing too hard to focus the camera and the rest of us were so startled that we didn't take a picture.

We explain to him that the poor girl with the elbow fetish attempted in vain to screen cap him and all she could get was his elbows. So henceforth, we always teased her about her lack of screen capping ability.

Naturally, Carmen doesn't believe us.

"So she's got a fetish?" He questions while the group laughs.

Carmen's putting a good spin on things but it's pretty obvious that the group has freaked him out. We're a pretty high spirited group at the best of times, so we try to settle down. Naturally, it's doomed to failure, but hey, we really did try.

Stephanie goes after Claire. I had capped a few shots for the group from "A Better Way to Die" and Carmen's pretty surprised.

"I look so cool in that shot! I've got a match stick in my mouth! Where did you get this?" He questioned.

Stephanie knowing that I didn't want Selmak.org mentioned to Carmen manages to give Carmen a half-truth. Someone on the list did the caps & she's not there. Actually, I'm the third in the line to get stuff signed. I'm just uncertain about mentioning the site to him due to a variety of different reasons. Anyway, it appears that Carmen liked the screen shot so much that he swiped one for his own. If you see that screen cap mass produced and being sold at cons, just smirk and think, "I know where he got that picture from!"

tephanie's explanation is very complicated and Carmen get bludgeoned by technobabble. End result is, he thinks a girl in the UK did them.

I get my stuff signed. Carmen's probably going to end up with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from this group as everyone wants multiple autographs. He signs for Sel, he signs for half a dozen other people for me. I was getting so many because everyone wanted his autograph because he doesn't do a lot of cons. He tattoos Selmak (above) with nary a comment.

But he starts reading the names off a friend's autographed T-Shirt which has been signed by a variety of SG stars.

Our group is continuing to get everything and anything signed. He's being rather patient with us, and he agrees to take lots and lots and lots of photos with the group.

The group then decides to harass Gary Jones the Chevron Guy who is a very, very cool guy.

Gary's playfully annoyed that we went to Carmen's table first. Then Gary offers to sign the photo in Toni's hand. He's "disgusted" to find out that it's already been signed by Carmen. Well it is a picture of Carmen.

"Carmen?" He whines playfully.

"But we saved the best for last," I assured him.

He really impressed me as he was very friendly, very funny and extremely willing to talk to his fans. He also volunteers to wear The Poseable Selmak on his head for a photo op.

The Chevron Guy is God!

Tracey & Carmen & the wall hanging. Tracey made it and it was a real work of art.
