A10 - my report

May 20, 2013 18:25

So I went to A10 and I really don't know why I keep giving Rogue Events my money because they literally couldn't give a F**k about us the customers.
I turned up at my time to register and as usual they were running late. Met my mate Angela and had a chat - went back to the registration room and joined an even bigger queue by this time..... Anyway to cut a long story short it took me almost 2 hours to check in and when I did they didn't have the reserved seating sorted out and also someone was saying that people on the registration desks had messed up and given out incorrect packs. This meant that people had photo ops vouchers that they shouldn't have had and others didn't have photo ops that they had paid for!!!!

Luckily all I paid for was reserved seats and was told that those were to sorted out in the morning!

So go back to the bar and have a few more cocktails and checked into the hotel. Went to the opening ceremony which was supposed to start at 7.15pm and it started about 7.50pm because, and I do actually quote here, "The artists are having something to eat!" My god! the convention had almost started and they weren't able to feed them before it did?!??!

Anyway watched the opening ceremony and shuffled off to the bar again and more booze.
Went to bed but all I could here was the thump thump thump of the disco downstairs and then I have noisy neighbours! Why do I put myself through this year on year??? LOL

Next day loads of panels - Misha, Mark Shepherd, Osric, Julian, Rob and Emily and then the highlight for me Ty Olssson and Rick Worthy!!! Man they were hilarious and at 11:15am they were drinking Rum and Coke's and Ty decided to ring Jensen on his mobile. Now bearing in mind it was probably something silly like 3:30 am where Jensen was, I wasn't holding out much hope that he was going to pick up... Anyway the phone rang and then the automated message started saying "The number you have rung is switched off, please leave a message for..." AND THEN IT STARTED TO READ OUT LOUD JENSEN'S MOBILE NUMBER! LOL
Luckily because we are not mad, insane fangirls - when everyone realised what was going to happen we all shouted "NO!!" and Ty quickly pulled the phone away from the speaker saying "I didn't think about that!!"
So Jensen's number is safe and secure... LOL

They then proceeded to walk around the hall talking to people. All in all they were my favourite panel for the whole weekend.

I actually left A10 early because I wanted to spend sometime with my partner but they have announced that they will be doing A12 again... Shall I go????? probably, should I go? probably not. LOL

Anyway here is my impulse buy a Ty photo op and yes he is squinting but doesn't do that in real life!

Thanks
