Capitalist

This is Maggie Grace from the hit TV show "Lost". She was at a comic book show that Matt and I went to on Saturday. (Yes we are nerds) But we are even bigger Lost fans, so we waited in a line for about an hour to get her autograph. Along with the other people in line we were astonished to hear when we got within breathing distance that it would be $25 for Maggie's autograph. What?!? It was actually quite funny to hear that info get passed down the line from one disgusted fan to another. But maybe we could get our picture taken with her... Yeah for $20. But you could take a picture of her from a distance. So we wait in line for an hour and all we get is this picture. Oh well that is life in Celebrity America. I might have paid the $25 if it was Evangeline Lilly (at least she is still on the show).

On the way out I notice that Jake Lloyd is at this show as well (played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 1) and I ask the lady sitting next to him behind his table if his autograph is free. Of course not. It is also $25. There's no way I'm paying some little kid (he's actually about 18 now with a beard) money to scribble his name on a picture. Especially not some kid that ruined the Star Wars prequel!
