hi. thanks for the replies. i looked around earlier after i had posted this question and i kind of figured it out. i kind of suspected maybe she was coming down off something, maybe on something, or maybe she was just in a bad bad mood but it all makes sense and i don't have any questions left about it. i do know that at least she was there and at least she was there to sign, and for that i give her credit. my husband is a big fan of hers and he was disappointed to see her like that, but at least he got to meet her at all. i hope she does well in getting better, i hope she can do it. as for the question about not seeing "her" there, would that be gen or cytherea? i walked past gen's table and i saw her but didn't stop. i recognized her from the board here but i don't think i've ever seen one of her movies. she might actually be in a movie or two that my husband and i own, the name sounds so darn familiar. she was cute, in a cowboy hat i think. i should have said hello but i was overwhelmed. so many people, so much to see and do, so little time. and i honestly thought the whole thing could have been set up better. neat rows would have suited me just fine, but with all those booths it was impossible to find everything. i should stop complaining, i was just so happy to finally get to go to an avn expo. next year, all four days instead of just one and perhaps the awards show itself, but the expo for sure. can't wait!!!
