At least your eyes were open. My eyes were closed and Mary looks...um...rather perplexed.

I think we had a drive by meeting. You my have been the person who told three of us where to stand in the VIP line for the autographs. :) and then a second one where you came by to say goodbye to someone I was speaking with.

Did you fly in or drive...only asking because you live just a bit north of me. :)

Oh no, not the closed eyes, I had mine closed in my Spain pic. Of course there is no time for a reshoot and here I thought this guy was better at pics. That's too bad. I totally know how you feel.

For some reason I didn't even catch your lj name or that you were there, until reading some con reports. I wish we'd had a chance to chat. Darn!! I drove down and back by myself. Did you drive or fly?

I think that they need to have more time allotted for taking photos. Not everyone takes good pictures. This is the main reason I NEVER have my photo taken. I've heard not so nice comments about the photographer but I figured it couldn't be any worse than the photo I had at FanExpo two years past. That went directly into the trash. Ripped it up in front of the person and tossed it. (of course, I saved the bit that had Mary in it. *g ( ... )

That is terrible about your pic!! I know they really need to give more time if the shots don't turn out. I didn't get my pic at Fanexpo, that was my first con and I was totally lost. Didn't they have a horrible spacy background there? Glad you tore it up in the guys face, that must have given him the message.

I actually drove to Boston first to meet some friends and then stayed with a friend at a NYC hotel. The drive down was fine, but I totally got lost in NJ driving back. Where are you i495? If I had to see Hoboken one more time. Gods, I thought I'd never make it home. LOL!!

We'll have to try and meet up sometime, my neighbour to the south. Maybe we'll get some good guests in Toronto again and get the chance to meet.

You are always so classy, it's always nice to see you again. I loved your report to. I would have loved to see a show. Just didn't have the time. Oh well, a good reason to go back to NYC.

The title really makes me want to see MM on Saturday Night Live!!

Thanks for taking in the newbie lurker! LOL, I had a great time with you and all the girls we hung out with~ You all made it a really great con for me, since I'm pretty shy and might not have gone up to you on my own right away.

Oh, Mary was so fab. I'm still in squee mode... but I don't know if the organizers were really prepared for how many people would want to go to the panel and get pics/autographs! Oh well, they'll know for next time if MM heads back to NY for another con in the future.

Don't forget those stolen--BORROWED--beverage containers were returned. Keep those $10.89 souvenir champagne flutes you hauled home safe!

Hope your mom likes the wine.
