Burbank Con: memories
Ok, so I never actually got around to a post on this, but I was just thinking about it... I don't remember a ton, but this is the stuff that stuck in my mind (aside from awful layovers and fog--OH. That's why, I was thinking about getting stranded in Burbank today for some reason).
In no order:
1. Being in the midst of writing a particularly salacious line in Katee/Trucco/Tahmoh RPF porn when Tahmoh Penikett walked by my table, close enough he could possibly have read it. Upside-down, but still. (I was sitting out in the walkway area, because the idiots sitting next to us were whores and refused to move over one seat so we could all sit together. Whatever dudes, I encountered Tahmoh on his way in).
2. Running into Ted Raimi three times over the weekend, despite not going to the Xena side of the con (and these were things like, when we went to lunch/dinner, not when we were in the main Con hall). Actually, this wasn't Burbank, it was the Chicago con. Ted, I swear,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lucyparavel and I were not stalking you. Honest.
3. Having The Flan sit next to me at breakfast and not turning into a stone-dead-idiot. I probably still sounded like an idiot when I told him his guest-appearance on Women's Murder Club or whatever would be a reason to watch it.
4. --however, it was also interesting to note that he claimed there was no backlash from the fans when Torri left. No, really. He said they'd been gearing up for one, and there wasn't any.
5. Jamie Bamber, in response to "why three kids?": "Poor planning." Also. He is short.
6. Speaking of, though, hanging out with the awesomest people ever, all weekend. And making "I love Helo" t-shirts (with "And Sam Anders, too" on the back). AND being loud and squeeful when Tahmoh was onstage and (apparently) annoying the girls sitting behind us. OOPS.
7. Riding the LA bus back from picketing at Universal, and mocking my two companions. I will admit, the LA bus is slightly dirtier and less friendly than the buses in St. Louis, however. But I used to take the last bus out of downtown at night, and trust me, that section of (god, is it Locust?) is not a nice place to be at near-midnight.
8. Picketing at Universal, and shouting slogans, and wondering about doing a sociological study of the crowd around me. Also, apparently conversing with Harlan Ellison and not knowing it. Shaking Ron's hand and not threatening him with a frying pan.
9. Riding in an elevator with Tahmoh. No, I wasn't bright, no I didn't say anything, yes, I do know what floor he got off on. *headdesk*
10. Piling intolizardbeth_j's van, and getting lost her finding us a liquor store and dinner and Target. Go, us! Also, we are awful people and spent far too much time wandering all over Target.
11. Introducinggreycoupon to tequila.
12. Jay Acovone, who is frighteningly bouncy at way too frakking early in the morning, and had more than enough energy to generate a sun.
13. Kate Vernon, who is the awesomest of the actors who were there speaking and utterly lovely. Katee Sackhoff, who is directly behind her in awesomeness. Tahmoh Penikott and Jamie Bamber, who are kinda tied, except Tahmoh is taller, so he sorta wins, there.
14. Cliff Simon. Man. Um. I have impure thoughts.
15. Steve Bacic stealing MrsMayorofDogsville's camera and managing to take gorgeous photos without even looking (I would love that ability).
16. Jacob Carter (sorry, Carmen, I'm too sleepy to try misspelling your name), although I felt entirely unprepared to converse, and wish I'd thought about things to say to the SG actors. OMGDAD. He is all kinds of awesome.
17. Everyone talking about the strike, and how it is affecting them, or isn't.
18. Jamie asking if Tahmoh had been hungover, as they'd all been out very late the night before Tahmoh came down, getting drunk and lamenting that the show was on hiatus now the strike was on.
19. Watching Trucco's episode of Dr. Quinn and mocking it. OMG. STALKER.
20. Laughing a lot. Getting inspired for far too much insane fic (Helo's bachelor party, for instance, wherein Kara gets him drunk and dares him to streak Galactica).
21. Corin Nemec, who is wacky and amusing, and does not sit down, poor boy. And also skinny as a rail.
22. Telling Tahmoh that my roommate (whom I was getting his autograph for) hates the show but loves Helo, and his slightly o.O look.
23. Bear McCreary getting the same look when I told him that I can hate an episode in its entirety, and still love the music (or something to that effect), because his music is awesome. I missed Bear's talk, btw, thanks to the stupid brats next to us.
24. Katee telling a quick story about how when they did the shot of them in the season three "hi, we're hot" getups (I got the Kara/Sam photo for her to sign), that she and Trucco were like the black mafia, while Jamie and Kandyse were in lighter/pastels and the white mafia. There may have been lots of giggling.
Hrm. That's all I can remember. Oh well. (I felt the need)
