After a quick set up, we start taking pictures right away. Great people, today is the costume contest so the group is quite colorful! Sally Kellerman and Catherine Hicks both pose with the car. Very sweet. Chris Lloyd did a Team Fox promo for us,
which was taped for us by Hatch; I’m so excited to see it. We were able to catch Chris’s talk, which was very good.
The audience’s questions ranged from Addams Family to, of course, his Klingon appearance in Star Trek. He was asked how he got the roll of a bad guy and his response was he wasn‘t sure, but it might have been that no one else wanted to endure 4 hours of make up! He also spoke of Roger Rabbit, and enjoying the opportunity to play a bad guy -and there’s talk of a sequel! When asked if he ever took any souvenirs home from the set of Back to the Future, an audience member shouted: ‘Mary Steenburgen!’
Our friend James was kind enough to make a lunch run to McDonalds for us, gourmet Big Macs! And for dinner we all ate at a nearby Italian restaurant. We enjoyed the conversation and the meal. James owns a DeLorean and has a fun job where he makes and maintains a variety of movie props. Boy did he and Oli have fun stories to share.
On the final day, Sunday, things slowly came to an end. Everything was packed up, we said our thank you's to our wonderful hosts, and pushed the time machine back the way it came. (Though Mr. yellow shirt was not seen, we hesitated to start the engine while inside.)
It was a good fund raiser, and a nice chance to see Christopher Lloyd again.
