As I have previously written, I have met Mike Lookinland a couple of times. Earlier this year at the Motor City Comic Con, Lookinland recognized me from a previous convention. I have had some celebs remember me from other cons before, but usually it is after meeting them several times. I had only met Lookinland once and it had been at least a year and in a different city.
We talked to Lookinland about doing these conventions and he expressed an interest in doing more. He enjoyed meeting the fans and seeing his old Brady Bunch mates. At the MCCC, Susan Olsen was the only other Brady. They showed a normal sibling relationship by drawing on each other's 8x10's.
After talking to Lookinland for a bit, we asked him if he would do a promo for Johngy's Beat and he agreed. That promo can be seen below and also has taken its rightful place in the "Testimonials" section on the right.

Half of the Brady Bunch
Collectors Shows are great for unique photo opportunities. At the Hollywood Celebrities Show a couple years ago, three of the six Brady kids and cousin Oliver were all seated at one table. They were signing autographs and posing for pictures all day.
You had any option you would want for pictures. They would pose in any combination. I imagine the logistics were a bit difficult. ERach time someone wanted a group photo, they would all have to walk to a ide area and pose with the fan. The tricky part was sometimes a fan would want them all, but sometimes just the boys or just the "real" Brady kids (sorry Oliver) or sometimes just the youngest...well, you get the point.
I have to say it all ran very smoothly, despite the potential mind-numbing possibilities. The stars were also very patient and willing to make everyone happy.
Shows like this are great for the hobby and the collector. Walking away feeling like you got what you wanted will probably lead to return visits. I know I have been going to their shows for about 10 years!
