Sorry to hear you had a disappointing time meeting Shawnee Smith. I when to her Q&A and she was very pleasant and afterward I headed downstairs to meet her. She was incredibly kind, talked alot about her music (I love her band!) and a reporter was there and took some photos of Shawnee and I with a few other fans. She was very attentive when I spoke and smiled alot, her eyes definitely did sparkle. It was earlier on in the day though. If I were her, I'd be drained by the end of it all too. The festival was fantastic but was the most exhausting 3 days of my life! :p
We met Sid Haig, Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven and the cast of Evil Dead the Musical as well. You got a great pic with Wes, sadly I couldn't afford to shell out the $200 to get a pic with him.
