KOHn Chicago 2005. Another live Fan Girl moment....
Well the next update for my adventures in fan-girl-dom. Would be my second gathering. (The first one was the premiere for EE ROTK at Jet's... but since all the pics involve other peeps that I wont post until I get approvals). I will probably post at a later date... after all what is date relevancy huh?.
Well after arriving at Chicago Intl Airport with a friend from San Diego. We met Jet and Christy and shared a ride to the hotel...... NON- SO NON DIAL UP FRIENDLY
galor5, bunnysummers and damselfly27 Were my roomies. We had set up conferences in yahoo IM to get to know each other... and we pretty much hit it off... we were fans of ALL the MOME. (Men Of Middle Earth) well and Eric Bana Honorary MOME after Troy.
So we all decided to have our own little wall-o-MOME in our room. Damselfly brought Viggo, Galor5 brought Beanie and Dom or was it Karl? (scratches head), BunnySummers brought Dave, Lij, Dom, Eric, Craig... and me Orlando of course.
The welcoming party was already underway.. .but my girls waited for me in our room to start the decorating and so we could *roogbehtackle* each other.... so what?? were silly...
Slight un packing:
Then we went down to the welcoming party which looked like:
After that we found seats where we could... I sat with Bunny and Galor and Damselfly sat somewhere else. Then we saw a special message that Orlando sent while filming POTC DMC and one of the Mods, actually slapped my thigh with fake emotion. "It was so hard to keep this from you guys" That was the first of many protagonism scenarios we presented and duly ignored.... because we were there to have FUN damnit!!.
Well after that we proceeded to our room to decorate:
End product:
Needless to say going to bed and waking up were quite pleasant. Oh! if you ask... we had the do not disturb sign... and just kept asking for more towels... the hill-o-towels in the bathroom by the end was quite a hurdle.... Muahahaha.
Then the morning after we went to get the breakfast from hell.... the orange juice was crazy expensive for the little juice glass that it was.... the waiter spilled a drop on my glass... and once he left all 4 of us went... hurry lick it.. that's 25 cents... and obviously we laughed our asses off cuz... well ALL.OF.US. thought that... talk about SAB.
Then we went to a restaurant that is traditional for it being rude to you... they made us don stupid paper hats.... and we baptized each other of course:
Before leaving for the day trips:
At the Miracle Mile in Chicago... lovely tulips.
At the restaurant:
Close up of one of the hats:
Bathromm of said Restaurant... I mean one of the MOME was IN the bathroom... we just HAD to take pics of Viggo..... I mean really....
Leaving the restaurant:
After that we went to see a private screening of Kingdom of Heaven, that one of the mods got for us... which rocked... you could SQUEEE surrounded by your own fan girl peers... BTW the groan of frustration at the cut love scene was heard al lthe way to California.. Bwahahaha... The US Weekly spread was just SUCH a tease.
Well before the movie started Damselfly wanted to take a pic of all the group sitting... but alas it started and the camera just picked up this.... bwahahaha... Priorities huh?
That night we (or was it the other one?) *scratches head* I forget really... and we didnt even drink alcohol that much... we were too busy laughing our lasses off... climbing the elevator, in the lobby.... jus TOTALLY laughed our assess off.... sober. Yeah I fell off the bed... what? 2 or 3 times just laughing.. and Bunny had the veins in her eyes pop from laughing.
Well some night on Galor5's laptop we watched Lady Chatterley's lover.... with Beanie.... rough sex, orgasm accent talking, sex on legs Beanie... I mean he grabbed her against a tree.. and then he, he, he,.... CAME.... and he said orgasm and finishing together.... OK that DOES fry your brain. It was a grunt, groan, squeal. That I haven't uttered any time after that.
Before or after the movie we had our movie night..... with the gang.....
The next day... was tattoo day. Out of the 56 people that attended from all over the world (UK, USA, Canada, and Mexico-little old me). 11 of us went to get tattoos. Many our first one ever....
Now it's time for me to fess up: I'm Mexican and bilingual... here you have a habit with your english speaking friends to snark in english about non-english speaking folk... i.e. they don't understand you. Well in the tattoo parlor... the moron that took the appointment didn't tell the rest of the tattoo artists to be there.... So when we arrived. There was ONE tattoo artist and ONE artist whose turn it was to be receptionist... they rotate to cover the position.. yadda yadda... so Angie wen't first to get her tattoo done... the rest of us were waiting.... and waiting.
So all 4 of us were in the lobby area... and the receptionist guy was walking by us to see if the other artists were about to arrive... and walked by us... he was a cutey... and out loud I say and I quote "I could totally see him naked"... my 3 friends gasped out loud and stared at me.... I closed my eyes as said... he heard me right?? all of them went: Yeah... and I'm like well WTF?!?! its not like I'm gonna see him again etc, etc.
So next thing I know: He calls me over to explain that to help out he was going to tattoo me.... now to help out you would to two things: a) choose the next in line or b) the easiest design to get things going... right?? RIGHT... so mine wasn't the easiest and I was # 6 in the list.... *evil grin*
This is me modeling my design.
Cutey Pie tattoo artist.... Jason... Who BTW is afraid of needles.... ironic anyone?!?!
Process of getting my tattoo, before breaking the skin:
Gayla called Madeline because she wasnt able to go and she started asking me: what did he look like, etc.... and I was: blond, blue eyes, cute... and then she started telling me dirty things to tell him... and I didn't cave like Damselfly.. and told her: I.AM.NOT. saying that and you can't make me... so he did the only normal thing a young man would, he took the phone from me:
Continuing on:
And NO... my foot was not THERE.
The end product:
And Me and Jason, now at the end I asked him, "How do I take care of it" he said we take credit but we prefer cash... and I went and pointing at my brand new tattoo,... asked again "NO, how do I take care of it"... he blushed prettily and said.... oh Lubriderm, non fragrance... just keep it moist and shiny.... I couldn't help myself... I asked with a smirk: "Lubed"... he squealed Oh.My.God.!!! *muahahaha, we all made him blush all the time... well what did you expect from slashers??? also we went: you work in a tattoo parlor... you're NOT supposed to blush!! nor listening to ABBA... they were playing ABBA... to relax the clients... WTF???
Trip back on the cab from hell.... if you call for a cab for 5 people, WHY IN BLUE BLAZES do they send one with a bench for 3 people??? HUH??? Well:
I got plenty of tattoo pics of all of us... Jet's took the longest and it was/is Gorgeous... .Angie's, Lori's, Stephen's, Jorge's too.... but since I don't have permission I'm not posting piccies... Yet. Mo took an AWESOME video.. and makes me cry every time I see it.... Thanks girlie *huggles you*.
Edited to add: Galor5 and Damselfly took a hold of Bunny's camera and took the following random picture... just to see her face when she saw it... and she DID do a WTF face... and then kinda like: I don't remember taking this pic... (giggles insanely*
After tattoo we went for Chicago style pizza... I was like: Well how good can pizza really be??? AND OMFG!!! it's the best tasting thing EVER.... I mean and with the beer we had. The place brewed it's own... we decided on the local one... because the MOME would have chosen it too.. *sticks out tongue* silly?? yes... happy?? You BETCHA.
Note:.... we are all modeling Bunny's scraf.... NO, not scarves... scraf's .... it was an IM typo... you had to be there....
Then the last day we took Bunny to PET the Chicago Opera house.... no Opera was playing but she had to PET the building... and since she's our buddy the petting became high priority...
So alas, Bunny petting the Opera Building.... gorgeous one too.
Then we modeling too:
WHERE'S THE BLOODY MAP!!! Bwahahaha.
On our way back from Opera to Miracle Mile... on FOOT mind you:
They filmed the Batmobile crossing this bridge:
Well we cried when we said goodbye.... but alas someday soon... we will have our encounter again... and continue the madness.... Hope you guys enjoy the LOOONNGG ramble.
