Yeah, Cons can get spendy. Luckily the ones here in MN aren't too bad. It kind of stinks that tog get autographs you have to buy a $20 picture or something of that like. But a lot of them will do pictures for free or very cheap. Rhi had her pic taken with the guy who played Chewbacca in Star Wars. I almost had to take two and stitch them together until he sat down and even then the height difference was comical *L*
I've never "bought" for an autograph before. Anyone I wanted one from I guess wasn't famous enough to charge *L* But next fall Tom Savini is at Crypticon so I know I'll be shelling out for that one.
When a friend of mine went to a Stargate Con in Jersey (she just happened to be there for work training at the same time) she spent probably about $100 on autographs alone. She also wound up spending on pictures, too. I think it cost her $25 for one of them. Granted it was done by a professional with a little set for her and the actor to be on and then she got an 8 by 10 about a month later in the mail. Very frame-able and nice.
Maybe they give a cuteness discount for kids? Yours could score freebies =)
