:27:02
Got the videos,
T-shirts, mugs--
:27:04
the important stuff.
:27:06
If there's an earthquake, a fire,
I want this stuff to be intact.
:27:09
This is my photo album.
These are more convention photos
:27:12
and more convention photos
:27:14
and even more convention
photos and...
:27:17
Ha ha ha! It goes on for days.
:27:19
These ones--
I always put them in
:27:22
so they're all facing
the same order.
:27:24
Once I get through with these,
:27:27
then it switches to ones
this way.
:27:29
Saves having to turn the photo album
every two minutes.
:27:32
Palm Springs convention.
This is actually--
:27:34
I took over 100 pictures
at the Palm Springs convention,
:27:37
and when I got them back,
:27:38
I took a picture
of all the pictures I took.
:27:41
A lot of these are enlargements
of convention photos.
:27:43
I had a calendar made up one year
:27:45
for a couple of friends
for Christmas presents.
:27:47
That's my back right there.
:27:49
I gave him--
It was a Texas stamp they issued,
:27:51
and they issued a sheet
:27:53
that told about the background
of Texas and all that.
:27:55
I ordered it
from the post office
:27:57
and framed it for him
since he's from Texas.
:27:59
Spiner: I don't get
much stuff anymore
:28:01
because I've sort of let it be known
when I've done conventions and stuff
:28:04
that it wasn't necessary and it wasn't
really a good idea because--
:28:07
that the people should be spending
their money on me, you know? Ha ha!
:28:10
I mean, I tried
to express that we do OK
:28:14
and that they should really,
you know, save their money.
:28:17
Woman: It's not about the money.
It gives me a good feeling.
:28:20
I like to do that
for my friends, too.
:28:22
If I can find
something unusual--
:28:25
I like to get unusual gifts
for people.
:28:27
After I'd lived here
about a year
:28:28
and I found out
where Brent lived,
:28:30
I realized I could just see--
I can't see his house,
:28:33
but I can see the hill--
:28:34
the top of the hill
that he lives at the bottom of
:28:37
from the balcony,
and so when I'm stressed out,
:28:39
I come out here sometimes
and just sit out here for a few minutes
:28:42
to take what I call
a "Brent break"
:28:44
and just kind of gaze
off in that direction
:28:46
and daydream
for a little while.
:28:47
Crosby: What are some
of your favorite things
:28:49
that you like to do
at conventions?
:28:51
Ever heard of filking?
:28:53
No. Tell me what that is.
:28:54
Science-fiction
folk singing.
:28:56
Uh, could you explain that?
:28:57
Well, actually
I could give you an example.
:28:59
Perfect.
