Last weekend I was so happy to be in the first "con" made in Basauri, Bilbao, Spain. A little town, but a great place to meet with Battlestar Galactica stars: Mary McDonnell and Edward J Olmos!!! BSG is not in my interest list (until now), I went only to touch my idol, Gaff!

Despite the entire day in the con, EJO was asked about unicorn, and I was so lucky to get this special moment in video. You can watch it here: http://www.mybladerunner.com with complete transcription made by Neil (Gaff87) (thank you mate!).

Also, I wrote a complete "crhonicle" here. In spanish, but the right bar has Google Translator as well:

http://www.blade-runner.es

And the greatest moment in my life! The pic with Olmos, and Mary!





and the signed ones!:





A weekend impossible to forgot!!!!

The best part.... Next year.... Maybe, only maybe... Con 2.0 will be about Blade Runner!!!! But, is only an idea... My book could be ready to show in time too... Many ideas in mind!!!

I said I'm the happiest non-replicant in the world? Very HappyVery HappyVery HappyVery Happy

So EJO made both the Chicken and the stickman, but not the unicorn? That is what it sounds like. I suppose they could have had someone else come in and remake the origami chicken for the close up, but at least we know he made the original now.

That's right. The unicorn was not made by him. Another mistery to resolve! Very Happy

very cool! Great photo with Eddie! and you got his signature as Gaff!! awsome! Cool

it's great how all the actors contributed their ideas for the film, Olmos was the most enthusiastic with Gaff.

Ford seems aloof and somewhat distanced from his fans, but it's not the case...he's just the silent one. A friend of mine talked about his love of flying and they talked for hours ...The "I loved all your films" is answered by a smile; "can I have your autograph" by a "sure", but don't approach him while he's eating/in conversation, or in the bathroom Shocked
