My Better Late than Never VanCon 2012 report! Part 4
This was it, ya'll! The big day when I met Joe, Paul and David!
First up was the breakfast with David and Kate Hewlett, Chris Judge and Paul McGillion!
It was really nice because we met people that I had seen the night before and everyone was chatting and having a good time and then they all walk in!
Kate and David were so funny! They insult each other big time but you can tell how much they really love one another. They were taking turns at the tables so we waited and chatted a while and first up at our table was Paul!
He was wearing blue jeans and a blue jean shirt over his tee shirt. He was so nice and funny! Someone asked him if they were pregnant yet, he said no. He talked about Alcatraz and how he guest starred and it got picked up so he couldn't get a recurring part. He also said that he liked the show because every week it was something different and how great Sam Neill was. He also talked about New Zealand and how beautiful it is and about the time that he and his wife visited Hobbiton and how one of his actor friends had dressed up as Frodo and spliced himself into the movie and Paul thought that it was real! LOL
He also talked about his roles in TV he's done recently. The lady next to me asked him about the movie he did with Shannon Doherty on SyFy and he asked her 'You saw that?' Because she was one of the few. Sadly, I missed it too. *sigh* But he talked to us about his role on Once Upon A Time and that he had played the Knave of Hearts and how he like working with Robert Carlyle.
Then his time was up and next up it was Chris Judge!
Chris looked really tired and he was really relaxed and friendly anyway. He was wearing a baseball cap backwards and a tee shirt and jogging pants. Someone asked if he liked living in LA or Vancouver better and he said LA because the cool and dampness there in Vancouver made his joints ache and we both agreed that our arthritis was killing us. LOL
Next up was David Hewlett!
He was wearing jeans, the red white and blue shirt and a jacket and was just superb! He also had on a button that someone asked him about. It said ‘I’m with Genius’ and a fan gave it to him so he pinned it to his jacket. He's really lost some weight and looked really good. Lynne introduced me and said that it was my first con and that I was the Suzie in the documentary and his face just lit up like a kid at Christmas! We talked about the doc for quite a bit and Vancouver and then he told us how Bazz was smarter than him and then he and Lynne started comparing phones! LOL He definitely is a nerd when it comes to the new electronics.
He and Kate were hurling insults at each other across the room and keeping everyone laughing. That man can talk faster than I can! It’s no wonder he could do those fast talking Rodney McKay scenes! LOL He talked about Amanda Tapping and how she was working on the Canadian version of Primeval and a new show called Continuum on Canadian TV. I saw some previews for it and it looked pretty damn cool! And then they came along and told him that his time was up but he kept talking for a few more minutes and then he thanked us for coming and moved to the next table.
Next up was Kate! She is so pretty and thin! She was wearing a very pretty floor length black and white dress with a flowery pattern and a very pretty necklace that her father had given her that said 'you are my sunshine'. She talked about how she was working on the new show on the CW called ‘L.A Complex’ and how she had written for Jewel Staite. They were talking about what a bitchy character Jewel was playing and how much Kate loved to write for her because Jewel was so good at it. She was asked about Mars and she was telling us how she loved that dog and how they were thinking of doing a movie called 'A Dog's Bed and Breakfast' LOL She might have been joking but maybe not! LOL She was another one that can talk a mile a minute too and she was laughing and poking fun at David about how she always had to tell people that he was 9 years older than her because he was telling people that she was older than him. LOL And they were yelling this at each other across the room! LOL
She and David kept picking at each other some more and then they had to go because they had a photo op to do, So Lynne and I went down to the lobby and it was then about 10:30a that we saw Joe getting out of his vehicle and walking into the hotel!!!!!!!!!!!
Right after that I went upstairs to my room to drop off some stuff and then it was on the photo-op with David which In was almost late for! LOL
He was so sweet and talked to Lynne and me quite a bit about the doc and then he was off again. Lynne and I sent some messages to the forum, stepped outside for a bit and then went upstairs for the panel with Joe, David and Paul!
They were absolutely hilarious and doing a shadow puppet show during the music video. We couldn't see a lot of it from where I was sitting but I saw a bit of it so I can only imagine what they were doing back stage! LOL Then they were introduced and most of the stories they told we've already heard and they kept talking over one another. Joe told us about one of his boys starting Catholic school and he wanted Joe to help him with his homework but when he tried he didn't have a clue about the Bible! Plus, his son bought the book home; he picks it up and doesn’t even know what it is! LOL
Then they started talking about the video game Joe was maybe going to be a part of but he couldn't say because they basically told him to keep his mouth shut about it. LOL He did tell us about how they scanned him so they could have his image and voice and talking about how his kids would love it because they could go 'Oh, daddy fell over a cliff' over and over and then David gleefully joined in too! They mimed Paul's exploding tumor which was funny too. Paul kept saying how Joe and David were worse than him but I don't believe it! LOL
Someone asked about what books they liked and David admitted that he had everything on his Kindle.
The panel was over far too soon and then it was on to the photo-op with the 3 trouble makers! David, Paul and Joe were just fantastic and super nice. Especially when I shook hands with Joe, said hello and headed straight for Paul and David. LOL Joe had quite the WTF was that? expression on his face but he was still smiling! LOL
And then it was the photo-op with Joe alone. He was quite charming, looking fine and was as nice as I expected him to be even after I gave him the brush off the first time. I could tell that he was a bit reserved but he was friendly enough. He thanked me for coming, I thanked him, patted him on the back which got a smile out of him and it was over all too soon.
At the autograph session I got to talk to him a bit more because I had so many pics to get signed and I also gave him the Art book. He seemed quite pleased with it and spent a few moments looking through it and then at the cover. If you could have heard the way that he said ‘ThunkSisters! LOL
I wish that I could have gotten some pics of him then since I was right there but alas I couldn't. *sigh* These are the autographs I got though I wish that Joe had personalized because David and Paul certainly did! Oh well...there is always Atlanta!
I got a little raised eyebrow look when he saw this pic! LOL But what can I say...I love Bad Boy Sheppard!
From David...
Paul who was super sweet though a bit deluded! He signed this 'To Sexy Suzie' I laughed and he pointed his pen at me and told me in a stern voice 'You Are!' and then dropped into his Carson voice and said 'Doctor Beckett said so!' LOL
Also Kavan and I'll post Chris's as soon as I can scan it!
In all, I had a fantastic time and I can’t wait to experience DragonCon!
