Okay, so then I'm in line for Karl's autograph for him to sign a graphic for this very comm. I went up to him and said, "You're my favorite actor in the entire world, and boy is my husband ever glad about THAT!" He chuckled at that and signed my thing, and I explained that, yes, fan communities already exist for it. He seemed pleased. I couldn't help myself from staring at the little heart tattoo on his ring finger. It's so cute! And I'm just like, "Wow, how many times have I stared at it on a screen, and now it's RIGHT THERE."

So! Then I went and joined fabulous new friends in line for Almost Human and played Cards Against Humanity while we waited. It was so fun. Then we went in, and we were right in the third row! Karl came out to introduce the show, explaining that he had had no sleep (poor baby!). And of course, he asked us if we were out of our Vulcan minds. Me and my friends made a VERY loud screaming block, and Karl definitely noticed that! He said there would be a test about the show haha. seanchaidh and I were frantically clinging to each other as we basked in his presence. Then he left, and the show started. And it was awesome, of course. In the intro, there was something about it being the future and law enforcement implementing a new policy. At which point, someone shouted, "Judge Dredd!" And we LOLed. I REALLY hope Karl heard that.

So, I went and got a second autograph on Sunday. The line was much more sane. I got Karl to sign my picture with him. He looked at it and said, "That came out great!" And I agreed. On my note for personalization, I had written "Rachel (Darlin)."
Me: If I could hear Bones say one thing, it would be "darlin'."
Karl: *ponders that, starting to sign* Darlin'.
Me: *dies but then resurrects long enough to bask more in his presence and grins like a fucking loon*
Karl: *writes "Rachel, Darlin .... love, Karl Urban XX and hands the pictures back*
Me: OMGthankyousomuch
I think he thanked me for coming or something like that.
Girl behind me in line: *hands Karl picture*
Karl: *looking at the personalization* Darlin?
Me: *shouting over my shoulder* I started a thing! (I inspired the girl behind me to simply have him sign it to Darlin.) XX He put XX, like kisses OMGYAY

And then I went to his panel with mah friends, and we screamed a lot, and it was awesome. There is video on YouTube. Check it out!

In his panel, someone asked how he thought Kirk and the crew would react to the Borg. He said he wasn't sure, but maybe they would send in their asset Doctor McCoy. He was really grinning after that. At which point, I grabbed poor seanchaidh and started shaking her, going, "He's smiling! Smiling! He's SMILING!"

[seanchaidh]

And you shook me so hard I missed the smile. ;-)

But I was trying to direct to look! I guess it didn't work ... sadness. :-(

[seanchaidh]

My imagination can fill it it. ;-)
