Collectormania London
Collectormania London
Ok Saturday so here’s how it happened.
Carrie, Nicola and i got the train at 4.30 am! (OMG WHY???????)
Arrived in London at 8.04.
And made our way to Olympia where Collectormania was being held!.
All so very hyper, we followed the masses towards our goal.
After depositing our bags in the cloak room. We run into Sarah who has made my “Cockblocking Fucker” said Ianto t-shirt! Hoooozah!!!!! Yeah! So i quickly change into it!!!
Nicola and me are also wearing our “Misha’s Minions” army shirts, so we can be recognizable by other minions! The shirts do their job well!!!
First mission to get virtual tickets for autographs.
We leg it up to the top floor to get tickets for Misha, Kai and Gareth. And who’d a thunk it Misha, Kai and Gareth are all grouped in the same area, YEAH!!!!! So we dont have to go far, Misha and Kai are already there but Gareth is nowhere to be seen, speculation runs from him being hungover or still asleep somewhere... and will prob turn up sooner or later!!!! We ask the peeps handing out the tickets and they think about 11ish.
We get a ticket any way.
I glance down the lines and see Kai has shaved his hair. And just seeing it i really wanted just to stroke his head...
is that strange????
We loiter round a bit and Misha’s que isnt really that long at the moment so we decide to go say hi to him and get an auto.
He smiles and says thanks for comming and sees that we are dressed in army shirts, and then reads out BRM on the pocket, so we both turn round and show him the back of our shirts, and he read out Misha’s Minions British Minion Resistance.
We turn back round and he is grinning like a loon. AWESOME!!!!!!!! We made him grin! He likes our shirts!!!! GO GO US!!!!! Minions RULE!!!!
He then says hi to the bears, and signs my autograph, and then he lets us take a pic of him! YEA! He is so awesome! And has beatiful blue eyes!
As we are just leaving the table we notice that Sarah is talking to Kai (who is next to Misha) so we say hi to him too. And i aske him when he shaved his hair. And he askes if we like it, i say yes, and he said he got it done yesterday (Friday) and i then said it makes me wanna rub his head. And he smiles and leans his head forward and points at his head and says go on then!
EDIT - Sarah blu04 managed to get a pic of it!!!! OMG I LOVE HER FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i manage to somehow shift all 4 bears to one arm and free up a hand so i can rub his hair! It is all soft and fluffy!!!! GUH!!!!!
I say thank you and he replyes “anytime darlin”
WOW!!!! Kai is so lush!!!!!!
So within the space of 3 minuits i have met Misha and rubbed Kai’s head!!!!
Good start to the day.
Then i remember me and Sarah are wearing the “Cockblocking Fucker” said Ianto t-shirt and so i have to show it to Kai
So i do, and i say “Its regarding the beans in Children of Earth” we think Ianto should have said something to Rhys.
Kai then repeats it and says Love that phrase, Cockblocker. Then giggles!!! WOW!
Just to hear him saying it in a welsh accent... LOVELY!!!!!
I then somehow managed to hi-five him but i really cant remember what for. heheh
So we then say bye and wander off. To look for more minions, slash fans or shiny things, or whatever...
So so much shiny things, and minions keep noticing our shirts or our bears.
Tis good fun!.
Sometime we then meet up with fellow hub 3-etts. And major squeeing and bouncing and hugs happen.
We wandered round a bit till we hear that Gareth is in the building. YEA!
So we go back up to the top level. And Lo there is Gareth looking as lovely as ever.
I am a little lost of thoughts when i first see him and i just wave at him weirdly until
the first thing that Gareth says to me “Wern’t you at the hub?”
I squee inside. Yea he remembers me... or maybe the bears... LOL
And i answer, yup, i was the one who did this... i then gave him a pic of him with all the Torchwood Bears at the hub. And i had signed it sayin
Gareth, thank you.
Love and Hugs
Torchwood Bears.
He smiled and added it to his stash of shiny things behind his desk.
I then asked him if he had had a good time at the hub and he replied that he had, and i said that i hoped he’d have a good time here too.
He then signed my other bear’s pic and the pic of him jumping thru the air with the machine gun.
I wave bye to him and we all wander off.
Then i think, dammit i didnt take any pics with him!!! Stoopid brain giving up at the wrong moment!!!!.
I also manage to go see Gareth with Sarah as she had a SHINY gold pass, and we manage to get pics of Gareth and us then.
YEA! Go Sarah for thinkin of takin pics! I really cant remember what was said that time as Gareth had melted my brain!!!
Then it was time for Misha Photo timez.
Yea we gets to hugz the Misha, we go down to the designated photo area and just hang out a little bit, before they call that its time to que. And we meet some fellow minions.
Then since we booked the misha tickets REALLY early on we managed to get quite close to the front of the Long long que.
As we get closer my hand starts shaking a little, but i hold on to Sammy and Dean bear. So its ok. Then. Sighting of Misha.
GUH legs turned to jelly again.
Nicola has her pic first and her and Misha raise their fists in Minion Power. Awseome!
Then its me.
I say Hi Misha.
he smiles and looks at me then the bears, and says, no need to ask who these guys are.
I’m in the process of trying to get out the words to ask him which bear does he want to hold when he just yoinks Dean Bear from me.
From the corner of my eye I can see him grinning. OMG he is SO close to me. And he has his arm around me!!! GUH!!!!!
He then poses. And the photographer tells him to lift the Bear up a little. Heheh.
And YEA!
See how tight he is gripping/groping Dean Bear???
LOL he griped him tight and raised him from perdition!!!
Then its over.
OMG i was just touched by an Angel. !!!!!!!
Now shaking worse than before.
And i realise i have to rush over to the other photo area to get my Gareth photo opp.
Still shaking i hand Sammy and Dean over to Nicola, and leg it to the otherside of the building.
Shorter que for Gareth, but phew i got there in time.
Still on a high from Misha, i go to see Gareth.
Mucho thanks to Sarah for the ticket!!!! MUCH LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a hug from Gareth. He is so huggable!!!!! Very very nice hug!!!!!!
Ok so am now SO SO hyper from Gareth hug and Misha. It is totally awesome.
So i go back to Nicola and Carrie who have my bears.
And then go backupstairs for the free Kai talk.
And what happens ????? Gareth is in the talk too!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!
And we get really good seats too!!!! Huzzah! As in first row behind the 4 ½ empty rows reserved for the gold pass holders.
So we get a good pic of us and the bears.
Enter Kai and Gareth and they are singing a song from High School Musical - All in this Together...
Then Gareth says it feels like there is no-one there and asks us all to move forward.
DOH!!!! There goes my good view!!! As lots of ppl rush forward, and i can onlt climb over 1 row of seats b4 everyone swarms,
Then the staff seam to be giving Kai and Gareth hacky looks as they say “Oops now we’re beling told off for doing that!!!”
Then Kai starts to talk about the rugby, and they say that Gareth is going to do Panto in Preston and asks who is going , and seams like there are quite a few peeps that are!
And they mention that he is going to be singing All in this Together from HSM. Hense why they were singing it when they cam on stage!
Brill now i got it stuck in my head!!!!
THANK YOU KAI AND GARETH
Trying to remember what else they were sayin in the panel,
Carrie asked if they would ever consider going on I’m a celeb get me outta here. And the answer was a def NO! But Kai said he wanted to go on Hells Kitchen, and Gareth wants to do Top Gear but then said that Jeremy Clarkson was a dick. (or something to that effect) and that he didnt really portray the appearance of some one who could be trusted to drive one of the cars on top gear, and kai said yeah you look like a drunk.
Oh boys!!!!!
Gareth also mentioned about the difference between auditions in the UK and America, and basically said that America had said he was too fat and too laid back, and so he said fuck em!.
Someone asked Gareth what was it like to kiss Barrowman and he said “He’s a rubbish kisser” and then laughed and said, “I hate that question!!!! People ask me ALL the time!”
They then finished off the talk mentioning that John would probably be joinng them on stage tomorrow if he turns up to collectormania! Thanks boys for the vote of confidence of John turning up!!! hehehe
I’ll prob rememeber more anyhow here’s some pics.
Gareth with Red Bull
Kai and Gareth singing
Supernatual talk.
Enter Misha and Julie.
They are awesome together.
Misha aking Julie if she would like to sit, and being all gentalmanly.
Quesion about what character other than yours would you habve liked to play on SPN, and Julie answers Young Mary, and Misha says that was My answer too!..
An few other questions lead toMisha answering Young Mary, wether or not that answer makes sence,
Lots of random questions and Misha and Julie laughin thru them, someone asks what is the weirdet thing you’ve put in your mouth and Misha answers young Mary. Big laugh there, then he goes on to tell a story and then remembers his mum is in the audience and then says he wont embarris her by pointing her out and then she waves back at him, LOL facepalm from Misha, and then Julie notices that his mum is filming the talk!
So he continues the story about putting randon things in his mouth, like eating dirt, and then goes on to say he licked a bat, when he was a child.
So yeah, he put a bat in his mouth!!!
Julie said she hasnt put anything weird in her mouth.
Someone asked the normal fanfic question, and strangely there wasnt a groan there was just a bit of laughter.
The question was about Misha being a Dean and Cas slash fan, and then Julie starts replyin that she had started to read a fic but stoped when it got to Anna , Dean and Cas sitting round a kitchen table...
Misha then said he started to read on but stopped when it got to a point when Cas had something in his mouth... a cock.
and then asked if Misha had a prompt for a fanfic, and Misha said yeah Impala / Bobby, and then started to giggle and then said oh no i now have an image in my head! and proceeded to crack himself up. *epic facepalm*
LOLz ahhh Misha, well you were the one who said it!!!!!
There was a lot more said, but my memory ain that good,
So here are some pics.
Good day had by all.
Misha randomly started to look thru Julie's bag!!!! LOL!!!
until Julie caught him!!!
and after the talk they handed out a limited edition a3 print which was very shiny and pretty, and said to go on the showmasters forum as they are hoping to put on a supernatural convention!
