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!

Hanging With Mr. & Mrs. Christopher Knight

The last time I met Christopher Knight, he was with two of his Brady siblings and cousin Oliver.  This time, he was with his wife, Adrianne Curry.  The couple met on tv's The Surreal Life and later starred together on My Fair Brady.

Curry donned a new costume for each day of the convention, almost blending in with the convention attendees.  Curry also seemed just as interested in the rest of the events as she did in their booth.  I'm not knocking her, because she was completely friendly and funny when she was meeting fans (even when they were more specifically Knight's fans).  I'm just saying she seemed like she was having a great time at the convention.

For the wrestling fans, Knight lost his only pro wrestling match to Danny Bonaduce in a dark match (non-televised) for WCW in 1994.

Phil Packer, Arthur and Peter Brady

Just as I was about to talk to Christopher Knight, he got called away to do a tv interview. What...tv is bigger and more important than Global Traveler magazine? Fran Gallagher would argue otherwise.
Anyway, when Knight returned, I said, "About time, Knight! I was giving you 1 more minute." He got a good laugh out of that. It's always good to start these things with a good laugh.
We talked a bit about the Brady Bunch and his return to tv with My Fair Brady. He stated that he likes doing the conventions, especially when his Brady Bunch co-stars are also there. At this particular event, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen and Robbie Rist were sharing an area with him. I was also the only person present who knew both Phil Packer (Peter's alter ego who double-dated with Greg) and Arthur (Peter's lookalike classmate).
