My Dragon*Con started with my trip to the airport at approximately 4:30 AM on Saturday. My flight was not set to arrive until ( ...click here for the con report )
Hardly anyone was talking about going so I didn't think anyone I knew was going to be there. Then of course it turned out lots of people I knew were going! Oh well, maybe next year.
I am seriously planning on going again. It really was a great time, despite the heat and the crowds. I barely noticed my discomforts (and there were many).
I'm absolutely ecstatic that someone was able to record that panel, so thank you so much for sharing! I definitely had a fair share of giggling throughout. :)
And, ohmygoodness, him wearing that beanie cap really is the cutest thing ever.
Who knows? Probably because he's a man and didn't notice that it was inside out! One of the girls who saw him wearing it that day told me it was inside out. But he wore it and that's all that matters! *FANGIRL SQUEE!*
I might have to look at the vids later - youtube seems to be having a hiccup at present.
Lovely report, and my heart goes out to you....I would like to think if I got to meet the cast in the flesh, I'd be able to string more than two words together etc etc, but I suspect I'd be incoherent and awkward, so I think I know how you were feeling.
After these type of encounters, you will always kick yourself over it, but try not to be too hard on yourself - I'm sure GDL has seen heaps of fans that go totally ga ga on him, and probably felt your "pain" anyway. It must be hard for him, because he strikes me as the kinda guy that would think of himself as just "one of the blokes", and yet he has all these fangirls and boys who can't even talk to him properly. But that is what fame brings along.
As long as you did enjoy it, and you've now got a personally autographed photo of him - how cool is that? Any stuff I've got signed, has come via Ebay....I live in Australia, so have no stuff that I've had personally signed.
*grin* When you append "?style=mine" to the end of the html page, you will get the same background as any LJ user who is logged in would have for their own journal. I usually append it when I link to entries like this.
OMG I love the panel he and James did on Sat. I was actually there myself and in the front row. Loved when he said he was a porn star LOL. I love it. Seriously he is so bloody sweet and adorable. I was thankfully able to get his autograph in the "Hall of Fame " on Friday after his panle then.
I of course got lost and thankfully someone was able to tell me where to go. Thankfully he and James Masters both had just arrived so I was able to get them BOTH.
Gareth was just so sweet. I was seriously just like you when he asked me my name and then told me how lovely it happened to be. He also smelled very good LOL.
Were you able to take your picture with him ? I know tons of people did so.
I did as well. All three boys were very sweet and kind. I actually snagged a sit in the front row but I seriously sat ther for since like 8 in the morn.
I was happy I got to go to the Friday panle as well. It was super cute as well.
The photo ops were insane..i had to get my ticket early and that was just luck.
Maybe next year though..I am sure he shall come back.

No matter, he still looks very adorable in it. You did a fantastic job - I'd never have that type of skill, even though I do know how to knit.

I was at the panel too. My camera unfortunately crapped out on me just before it began. Thanks for posting it on YouTube.

Wasn't it great? I sort of wish I was back and the con wasn't over.
And don't you hate it when your cameras don't work when you need them to the most?

I had planned on doing the photo op but things fell through and I guess it wasn't meant to be. Oh well, perhaps there will be another time.
