We defy you not to be moved by this inspirational story from Wil Wheaton
Wil Wheaton seems to take a great pleasure in meeting his fans at conventions, but this fan actually moved him to tears.
If you've ever waited in line to meet an actor/writer/artist/whatever at a convention, then you know what a mixed bag that can be. Sometimes you meet your hero and they're incredibly cool and listen to what you have to say, other times they just sign what you've got, take your money, and have you whisked away. Wil Wheaton falls very much into the former category, thankfully, and will, on occassion, recount tales of memorable meetings with fans. This story is, we think, his best to date.

(35,392 posts)1. Not sure if John DeLancie is a great guy or a dick, but
when I went to see him a few years ago in Kent, Ohio, and he went to sit at the table to greet the fans, he said "Let's get this over with."
Left a bad taste in my assessment of him. And I LOVE Q ...
