Kilmer was scheduled to attend on Saturday and Sunday but unfortunately the airlines messed up his reservations and he couldn’t get a flight in for the Saturday show.  Everyone was disappointed including Kilmer but he called the promoters regularly who in turn shared with all who awaited his arrival, the updates on his flight.

On Sunday morning Kilmer arrived promptly at ten o’clock to greet the long line of anxious fans who had already gathered to see him.  His long hair framing his face, tall and lean he said hello to all with a boyish smile and picked up his pen. 

For hours Kilmer personally autographed hundreds of items, extended warm handshakes, smiles and kind words with all who patiently waited in line to meet him.  Toward the end of the show Mickey Rooney, Larry Hagman, Tia Carrere and other stars left their stations to meet Kilmer and take pictures with him. With mutual respect, it was clear that Kilmer was honored to meet them too.

After a very long day, it was time to leave. Elated fans gathered in the hallways, carefully clutching their signed treasures, laughing, smiling and exchanging stories about their special day. Kilmer once again, took time to connect with his fans, sharing his appreciation for each and every one.
