Hello. My brain is stuck on 'incoherant'.
So, I've never done this media guest deal thing at cons before - I've only ever had comic artists sign, and so on, so I am all kinds of !! and bewildered by things, and thusly clutching at blue_raven and tshirtgirl a very much lot for direction. As anyone who saw katrin can attest, we joined the insane queue for photos with Joe, and so, hi, there is now a photo of me with Joe Flanigan. (He apparently had his arm over my shoulder, I so do not remember this.) And wow, tall. And Chris Judge, who we will hopefully do the photo thing with later, oh my god, SO gorgeous. Connor Trinneer is adorable and utterly charming, and told us we looked lovely at the cocktail thing. Um, I feel like there was something else I felt the need to share with the internet but I am drawing a blank right now. Urk. The panels were pretty good today - Connor dealt extremely well with questions that had us cringing and praying for ninjas, and Joe said something (don't recall right now, it'll come back to me) in his panel that gave me a sudden and wild word-geek crush on his brain. We went through the autograph line as well, largely on a just-in-case basis since Joe's leaving at 4 tomorrow, and so I have also stuttered at Chris Judge, Joe Flanigan and Connor Trinneer. I am in no way any fraction approaching 'cool'. (However, not as badly as I stuttered at Lois a few years ago, I think it'd take Hewlett (if that) to equal the mindless panic of trying to tell Lois McMaster Bujold how awesome she is.)
The cocktail evening was not, I gather, quite as chatty as last year (which was probably a good thing for my self-respect, if nothing else, as that's already in tatters this week (yet to be mentioned in my LJ this week: the number of times I have FALLEN OVER SHIT in front of people and hurt myself; I have spent the last three days barely able to move/definitely not reall able to sit/bend), and there was a creepy handsy person, which made, I think, both the guests and the people who saw/heard about it very uncomfortable. ugh, people. WHY. (Send. Ninjas.)
But, yes, is very awesome and I have FABULOUS roommates and hope all is well on internets land. <3
Oh, and I should've said - our hotel is super flash and like a five mintue walk if THAT from Aotea Square, \o/, although our inclination to be enthusiastic about the place took quite a hit this morning when the shower flooded and the first response from reception was to say that no one on Maintenance could look at it until Monday. Yeah, I DON'T THINK SO. We got Assertive. It got fixed.
Um. Yes. people are pretty. Fandom is excellent. I love my show/s. *flails* *and fails at going to bed*
