Summer Glau Calgary Comic Expo – pictures update

Thanks for the picts of Summer Glau at Calgary Comic Expo 2011!

Hope for better picts from Summer soon.

Summer Glau decided to wear casual clothes at the Calgary Comic Expo, plaid shirt and a skirt; i wonder if she had the cowboy boots she likes so much.

@canoeninja
Summer Glau is lovely. She's nervous & appreciates the role of fans in her career. She thought the end of Firefly was the end of her world.

@Ryencoke2020 dude the line for summer glau is long!

I've never been at a convention but i keep reading that type of comments. It says a lot about Summer Glau's popularity among fans.

@Pikepaw Bradley Fraser
I would go full cowboy for Summer Glau. Im only part cowboy right now

Texan girl, my friends.

Thanks Fermi for the pictures!

The number of views won't increase but at least the viewers will get to see all the pictures this way.

Maybe we should add an update line on the previous news anouncing the 2011 Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo : Summer Glau at Calgary Comic Expo

Summer was a real sweetheart - well worth the hour-long wait in line, because you got to watch her interact with the fans and they had a photo area set up right next to her booth (I imagine we'll be seeing pictures from that before long - I chose to just get a photo signed myself). Her presentation was terrific and she had a lot of great things to say. I got a kick out of seeing Bill Shatner and childhood heroes Erin Gray and Matt Frewer, but Summer was definitely my favorite of the bunch. Anyone waffling about going to see her Sunday should go see her. Best of all the schedule has her signing pretty much the entire day Sunday except for a couple of breaks (today it was interrupted by her panel which forced a few people to get "rain checks" that allowed them to jump the queue at a later session.)

Thank you for sharing that information with us.

Many thanks for the info Alex!
This is indeed more vivid to have the story from someone who was there than just reporting someone else's tweet.
I did not fully understand the point about the photo : you had the autograph and photo session at the same time, is it?
Anyway, i like your style, you're wellcome to post a comment or an article on the Wiki anytime you want

Thanks Fermi, this pictures are much better than the first ones.
We just had to be patient.

I was wrong about the cowboy boots

I added some pics to the news. Summer Glau Interview by Teddy Wilson thanks to
ferreth's flickr photostream
@Alex thank you for the info

Summer Glau seems to have fun at The Calgary Comix Expo 2011 (so as that Teddy Wilson btw); now i understand better the tweets from attendees.

Her shoes are cuter though. I like them!

And thanks Alex for the details, it's always fun to hear reports from conventions and panels.

Summer Glau Pict - Calgary Comic Expo

Ok guys and gals, last day at Calgary Expo is beginning soon, bring us some more pict of Summer Glau.

FNew pict from Ryechess : http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryechess/5848312801/in/photostream

"Today I made my way down to the Calgary Comic Expo which is happening this weekend. So I decided that while I was there, I would meet Summer Glau. For those who don't know she's recently known as the female terminator. Someone decided to bring a Flames jersey and have her wear it for his photo opt and I just happened to be there to catch her putting it on."

Woah, fist pict from the photo op and this is on The Summer Glau Wiki and this is HQ : thanks for the exclusivity Fermi!

Hq Pict from Photo Opportunity

Uploaded a video from the Comic Expo made by two geeks : Summer Glau is on it...sort of.

Calcary Comic Expo 2011 Video on the forum.

Seen on twitter a few minutes ago :



That's the Summer we know!

Reminder : Felicia Day and Summer Glau charge $25 for signing whereas William Shatner garges $75.
I have estimated Shatner's total signing fee at the forum : http://summerglauwiki.com/forum/25-195-4952-16-1308486534

Obviously, Summer Glau's photo op took place directly at her booth, or on the side more precisely, as it was mentioned at the Calgary Expo site. They warned attendee not to forget their own camera.
Hope more photos will come.

One more pict from the photo op :

Personally, i prefer that shirt to yesterday's shirt. And it emphasize her good looks much more than the plaid she wore yesterday.

@michelangelo What they set up regarding autographs and photos is that for most of the guests the autographs were being held in one area of the BMO Centre, and then at appointed times the various celebrities went to a special photo op area. People were lining up for a photo with Shatner hours ahead of time. For Summer, for whatever reason, the decision was made to have her photo ops take place at her booth, which was cool because people didn't have to wait at all. It was a separate charge but a lot of people were quite willing to go for it. I regret not doing it myself - I got a great signed photo, but those who went for the photo often got a hug too. It was fun watching her set up the photo, and what got me was despite the fact she did this hundreds of times, she seemed to be genuinely having fun. And so did her handlers and assistants, which was interesting. The only problem was the lineup for her got to be so long that they had to start cutting it off otherwise she wouldn't be able to have any breaks or anything. I never saw the Flames jersey moment, but I wonder if anyone had her put on a cowboy hat since during her presentation she said that's what she'd probably be doing today if she hadn't gotten into acting. (I can't remember everything she talked about, but I remember she called Josh Friedman a poet and was intrigued by his plans for Cameron in Terminator. And of course Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion are gods among men as far as she's concerned. She also talked about how she had to learn not to go "all out" for rehearsals and auditions - she auditioned for Angel in a full ballerina outfit not realizing she didn't need to - and she missed the actual dance portion of the audition, but Whedon told the choreographer that Summer had the role unless she had "cement feet". There was also a moment from one of the Firefly or Serenity shoots where she had to jump out of a box and during rehearsal she gave an Emmy-worthy performance and learned you should save it for the camera!

Me, the kids, and Summer Glau.

Alex, you're the best!
Again, thanks for coming back and sharing those moments with us, simple mortals, who couldn't go to Calgary. I bought a ticket to Starfury T3 in London next week but Summer cancelled(if wondered if someone asked her about it).
I laughed behind my computer reading your detailed transcipt of the panel. What you're telling reflects the opinion of all the comments i've seen from people who approached her. Of course we appreciate first and foremost her acting but how could you not like the person she is, especially when i read you or other people.

I liked her lavender plaid shirt. I thought it looked very pretty on her.

@Michelangelo One differing piece of information though is when I went through the line-up, she was charging $40 for an autograph and $40 for the photo-op. Which wasn't bad compared to Shatner and considering she was considered the #2 main guest. It's possible she lowered the fee later, though it certainly wasn't affecting the line up! I love the fact she posed free with the volunteers. I agree that's so much in character. A couple of the celebrity guests were also VERY strict about people not taking photos while in line-up. Summer seemed to be pretty easygoing about it. One other tidbit from the panel: Summer said she did ask Josh F. if there was any chance of her doing a cameo in the last Terminator movie - just walking through the background was the term she used - but it never happened. She also confessed to being addicted to a certain type of bottled drink - I didn't actually recognize it, but she was quite happy it was available in Canada and had it at her booth and even on stage during the panel (she took one out of her bag during the interview). The moderator for the panel by the way was one of the hosts of InnerSpace, the Space cable network's news show. And while in past years panels have been hosted in meeting rooms, this year they booked the Corral, a small hockey stadium attached to the BMO Centre. There was seating on the floor but most people ended up in the stands since much of the closer seats were reserved for VIP ticket holders. As anyone mentioned the fact we have Katee Sackhoff to thank for Summer being here? Katee was the #2 guest until she had to cancel a couple weeks ago due to a movie project, and Summer was brought in at the last minute.

Thanks for the details. It's cool for those of us who cannot attend to read a vivid account of the conventions and the panels.

^ I just re-read my comment about the "bottled drink" and to head off any rumors at the pass it was a bottled water-style drink (I thought it was Perrier at first but the bottle was different). Nothing stronger than that! ;)
