Well, at least you have the story to tell now, even though you weren't aware of it at the time.
(Poor Miss Fischer, though. "That girl didn't even recognize me! What are The Kids These Days watching?")
This morning, I'm woken up by my mom with a surprise: We're going to comic-con for the day! Woo-hoo, and all that jazz! So I get dressed, snarf my food, and we're off.
Well, once in the vendor room, I wander off on my own to look at the different stalls. While I'm at one stall, I run into a lady with a dog. It's not a service animal from what I can see: no vest, no special leash.
So I ask her why she has a dog, because I'm curious.
"Oh, I have special clearance."
Anyway, we get to chatting about dogs, and I'm petting hers, and he's a real sweetheart, all licky-licky and stuff. Very nice lady, but I don't think to ask for her name (or the dog's).
After about ten minutes, she says she has to go, she has a panel to attend, so we say good-bye and I go back to wandering.
Well, a few hours later, we go to a panel for a Q&A with Carrie Fischer. For those of you who might not know, she's the lady who played Princess Leia in Star Wars.
When she finally appears, she's carrying her dog.
Oooooooh and awwwwwwwwwww!
The most awesome thing in the history of ever!
That is AWESOME. I am so very jealous of you!
Just to be clear, the woman you were speaking to was a handler, yes? Not, you were speaking to Carrie Fischer and failed to recognize her.
To be fair, I wasn't entirely sure what she looked like other than 'a lot older than Leia' and she had glasses. Couple that with my problems recognizing faces... Yeah... >_>
What was the dog's name, if you ever found out?
He's a French Bulldog, and his name is Gary.
