A little over a week ago, Friday - Sunday September 11 - 13, 2015 I went to the Las Cruces Comic Con to assist a friend of mine with the manning of his company's booth. LCCC is a rather small con (compared to denver, salt lake and san diego) so I wasn't expectng much in the way of actors, so when I saw that actress / voice actress Wendy Schaal was going to be there, I was excited to say the least, and looked forward to the trip even more than I already was. Wendy is AWESOME. Very friendly, personable and genuine, just as I hoped she would be. As it turned out, the convention organizers put us (me, cal and kim) up in the same hotel as the celebrities and Wendy's room was down the hall from ours, something we learned on Monday morning 09.14.15 as we were leaving (we were leaving our room, wendy walked by on her way out and we spoke to her one last time). I was able to get her to autograph a picture of her character Karen Blake from the episode "Death Lock" which caught her off guard. She asked where in the world I found it and I told her RDAnderson.com. I'll post a picture of that signed photo soon. In the mean time, please enjoy the picture I've posted below.

"It's been said, 'The best gift a man could ever give another, was his life', Jack Dalton was never one to settle for less than the best. Thank you Jack." - MacGyver

Hello Everyone! It's been quite some time since I last posted anything on MOL. I've been busy with work, moving, a new job, etc., etc., etc.
I was going to post the transcript of the interview I did with Wendy, I even started to transcribe said interview, but then I lost / misplaced my phone, which I used to record the interview. Hopefully, I'll find it as I continue to unpack and set up my stuff.
I'll make a point of getting on MOL more often.
Hope everyone is doing well. Talk with y'all later.

Here you go. Nana Visitor attended StarFest here in Denver, CO on March 11 - 13, 2016. I asked her to autograph two pictures, one each of the two characters she played on "MacGyver": Laura Farren on "Hellfire" (s01e08) and Carol Varnay on D.O.A. MAcGyver (s02e21). She was more than happy to pose for this picture, even more so after I showed her the picture of RDA holding a similar sign (credit goes to kiwitek for that). While I didn't conduct an official interview, Ms. Visitor said the following (not direct quotes): - RDA was sweet and a great guy to work with - Filming "Hellfire" was tougher than she thought it would be. It was very hot and was done in a guerrilla style of filming. - She didn't / wasn't able to keep anything from either of the "MacGyver" episodes she appeared on. The wardrobe department was very diligent about making sure everything was returned. She said she once had to return to the set to turn in a pair of ear rings she forgot to take out at the end of the day. - While on Star Trek Deep Space 9, she was able to keep a fish statue or skeleton of some kind (I wasn't a huge fan of ST: DS9 so I'm not familiar with what she was talking about) that hanged in the promenade section of the DS9. This fish later went missing from a self storage locker she had in up-state New York. I'll post a picture of the photos I had her sign, soon.

The 5th Annual Denver Comic Con (DCC) took place on June 17 - 19, 2016. One of the celebrity guests in attendance was Judy Burns, who wrote the opening gambit of the episode "The Gauntlet" and the episode "The Last Stand". Given that Judy was already interviewed by MacGYVER Online, I asked her if she would be willing to pose for a picture, holding the sign, which she was more than happy to do. I was helping some friends of mine run their company's booth and didn't get away to attend any of the several panels Judy gave discussing script writing. While I was pretty bummed about that, I was able to speak with her, at her table in the Artist Valley section of the convention floor, for a total of about a half hour over the course of the weekend. I found her to be very approachable and a very easy & interesting person to talk with. Given that she doesn't usually do convention appearances I am thrilled to have met and talked with her. Judy, if you're reading this, THANK YOU AGAIN for coming to DCC, talking with me and answering my questions. It was a pleasure to have met you.
