Dragon Con: Mary Days (1 and 2)
FRIDAY: MARY DAY
I know it's dumb to call it Mary Day since every day of my life is Mary Day... But i can't... it's just... the... with the... and around her... and the time she... and what? I can't even make thoughts right now... wow. Just wow is all I can say.
37_idees_fixes got it right when she said that people idolize celebrity and then those people are not as amazing as their fans want them to be... But that's not so with Mary. She's every bit as amazing as we want her to be. Even more so actually...
wow. She's gorgeous and funny and perfect and gracious and loving and brilliant and and and and and... All the things you think are true about her, are. She's amazing. Beyond words.
What? Shut up and get on with it? Okay.
So we woke up at 7 which was superfun... Even Bree Sharp's voice coming from my phone didn't make it any better... We then got ready and went to the Sheridan for the Mary Panel. Technically The Unlikely Partnership panel. But no one was there for that. It was pretty much all about Mary. Michael Hogan was there too and they were adorable together so I'm so not complaining.
We saw all the cool people in line and then saw Mary!
here's Leah and Steph being excited! Like we all were!
OMG MARY MCDONNELL IS RIGHT FRAKKING THERE!!!! Two rows back we were basically on top of here... best hour ever.
And she's unbelievably adorable...
Hogan is so distinguished. I have a fantastic Hogan story later on.
here's Mary telling me to stop holding the shutter button down for the entire panel... (not really, but sort of)
She kept doing this with her hair and each time she did it my brain melted a little bit, until I no longer could move...
She attempted to get EJO on the phone. It didn't work out so we left him a voicemail of some awesome SSWAs. Also, I find it adorable that they have each other's phone numbers. I mean, of course they do but it just makes me all happy inside...
Then we went to our room to decompress. And then wandered down to get our photographs taken with Mary. So awesome and yet so frakking fast! It was like a super awesome race. Where you get the award in the middle and it's touching Mary McDonnell. I actually really like our picture together.
I then went to the Stargate SG1 panel which was fun. I love Gary Jones... He's so funny.
And Ben Browder is not a bad looking guy...
We then all went to the next Battlestar Panel. Which was Kevin Glazier (the science of BSG guy and my bff), Luciana Carro (Kat), Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh), Michael Hogan (Tigh), Michael Trucco (Sam), Alessandro Juliani (Gaeta), and Kandyse McClure (Dee).
These two jumped about a million rungs of my OTP ladder because of this panel... They are so amazing and if I didn't love Hogan's wife so much I'd ship them RL...
I also now ship these two...
Kandyse said she'd always hoped Dee would get to make out with Sam so they proceeded to go at it... lol
Hogan thought it was awesome.
Until Trucco remembered he was married... Good job, Michael.
Then Kate Vernon's daughter called and so then Hogan got out his phone and called EJO again.
This time it worked!
So we talked to him on the phone and gave him a few other SSWAs
And then Hogan got attacked for some reason which I cannot recall because I was way too busy bouncing
SO SAY WE ALL!
And then we went to the Westin to see all the awesome fangirls but Leah and I were so tired and sick that we only stayed a little while and then came back and went to bed... BED. Sounds so good right now. END OF DAY ONE!
SATURDAY: MARY DAY AGAIN
Got up late this morning at 9. Yay. Went to get a photo with Paul McGillion and Joe Flanigan because they are so freaking adorable!
(There is also Mary's autograph on her photo of Stands with a Fist, an autograph from Claudia Black who is unfairly gorgeous)
Then I went up to join the line for BSG with Leah, Steph, and Kayla. We got third row, end seat on the right side. Perfect photo angle. woo
This panel swapped out Kandyse for Mary. Happy times!
PRETTTTTTTYYYYY!
I have no idea what this photo is about but it is MAGNIFICENT.
These need to be a moodtheme. That's my project when I get home.
SHE SMILED AT ME! She recognized my obsessive shutter clicking
Then Aaron got ahold of a mic and said, "I have a question. There was this great actor named Aaron Douglas. Could you describe him?" and then we all screamed and they invited him to join them on stage.
AND! My newest and most intense OTP obsession!
We then ran downstairs to get in line for our BSG cast photo. It was awesome. Except that I was next to Luciana Carro who is perfectly nice but not my fav. It was ok. I had my hand on Kate Vernon's back so that made up for it. And then Steph and I decided to get one with Michael Hogan. Because he's a god and I love his Canadian ass sooo much.
Okay so our Hogan photo. It was the most epic thing ever. So Trucco kept getting called up for photos and Hogan was just sitting there and then we got up and the Lady said "Hogan!" and he saw us and said, "YES!!!!" In his strip club scream. Then he said, "Lucky me! We're going to have to do more than one of these." We then posed on each side of him and he growled at us. His guttural growl. It was amazing. So then the guy said we were done and Hogan said, "Awwww, too bad... *wink*"
OMG. My life is made. <333
YEAH. So. Now I'm going to shower and eat and dress up for the awesomeness of the Colonial Fleet Party.
