An evening with Kai Owen - detailed con report

[dieastra]

I'm back from a nice weekend. Yesterday I was at my first Torchwood convention. Only about 50 fans and one actor. But a very cute one - Kai Owen, who plays Rhys, the husband of Gwen. He beat Gareth David-Lloyd in being the first TW star who has come to Germany (Gareth will be at the Fedcon at the end of April

What a great report! I'd have loved to have met Kai in that small of a group. He is such a sweetheart. By all means, please post photos (begging)!

[dieastra]

It was a very special and warm event, and he is indeed a sweetheart. I hope he does not think we were too reserved. He did his best to entertain us (although I heard that in England he is more raunchy ;) Maybe he didn't dare because of the early time - it started at 5 PM)

I didn't take many pictures since I was a few rows back but I can and will point you to some links of others. Still collecting, though. I also don't have my picture with him yet, where I cuddled him. I hope it is a nice one!

PS: You might want to read it again, as today I added a lot more details and quotes and corrected a few misspellings. It already was late yesterday ;)

Awesome report, thank you so much. From all I heard from different cons etc Kai is such a great guy. I bet he'll make a great dad - I can so see him as one :)
Agree with him on "Over the rainbow". It's still fun, but it would have been sooo much better with John.
(and the Welsh name for Cardiff is Caerdydd, müsste gesprochen in etwa wie 'Cardied' klingen ;)

edit: und omg! I've done it again. Ein Denglischer Satz, auweia. Seems it was too early in the day, um mich für eine Sprache zu entscheiden ;D

If you haven't met Kai so far you definitely should. I'm sorry I did not tell you earlier about this event, in case you also would have loved to come.

I think you're right about him making a great dad! The way he talked with the girl (she was the only one her age) was amazing and cute.

I don't think I will watch the rainbow show, I still have so much to catch up with shows John's actually in ;) But could you really see him flying over here every weekend? I think even John has his limits, and it might have affected his work on DH, which would be a pity as we want him on his best. And didn't somebody also say that the judges also should be there during the week, as mentors?

Thanks for the Caerdydd, not sure whether I'll change it yet. And no worries; I do Denglish all the time ;)

You might want to read the report again, I corrected some spelling errors today (area instead of era? LOL) and also added a lot more details and quotes.

Wow! Great report! I love Kai Owen, he's so nice! :)
Thanks for sharing - sounds like you had a great time!

[dieastra]

Yes, he is indeed very nice! I need to tell you yet the things he wrote into my calendar ;) Have you already met him? If not, you definitely should! He's on the HUB in two weeks.

I added a lot more quotes and details today, if you want to have another look at the report. It should now be complete.

[pirate_moose]

I'm intrigued now... what did he write?! :)
Yes, I was lucky enough to meet him at Collectormania - he was ever so lovely [the report and photo's are over here if you fancy a look: http://pirate-moose.livejournal.com/5807.html and http://pirate-moose.livejournal.com/5901.html ] *grin*
Thanks again for your report - I look forward to seeing some pictures ;)

[dieastra]

I am going to scan my calendar and do a new post so that everyone on my friends list can see it too, okay?
Have you seen the post I made after this one, with my picture with Kai and links to some pictures of others? You did not reply so I thought I asked. I still have not uploaded my own, but they are few and probably crap anyway. The pictures I linked to are from the official photographer, so you can't get anything better than that! You can find it here:

I figured out now why he kissed you and only hugged me - you are much cuter than me ;)
I hope he enjoyed the evening. I hope he did not find it too hard to entertain us, as sometimes we were a bit reserved. I hope he comes back and tells the others they also shall come to Germany!

Ach man, ich wäre so gerne dabei gewesen, zumal es ja nicht wirklich richtig voll war. Ich hoffe, dass ich beim nächsten Mal echt dabei sein kann. Vielen Dank für den ausführlichen Bericht. Muss ja wirklich total super gewesen sein.

Übrigens heißt Cardiff im Walisichen: Caerdydd (Cardith). Ein paar Worte hab ich mittlerweile aufgefangen :)

[dieastra]

Ja, dass hatte mir fry-addict weiter oben auch schon verraten, aber ich hab's noch nicht geändert. Hab mich nicht recht entschieden, ob ich will oder nicht.
Aber ich hab neulich mal wieder die Dr. Who-Folge "Boom Town" geguckt und hab die ganze Zeit auf meinem Sofa gequietscht! Als Mickey da auf dem Bahnhof ankam (und da sah man dass Caerdydd ganz deutlich auf dem Schild) musste ich sofort denken, dass ich im Oktober ja auf genau diesem Bahnhof sein werde! Und in das Restaurant auf der Pier, wo sie saßen und aßen, will ich auch.

Meine Freundin fragte mich neulich, warum Torchwood nicht mitgekriegt hat, dass der Doctor direkt über ihnen gelandet ist... LOL

[maggi137]

Ich bin immer mit dem Bus nach Cardiff gefahren, ist bedeutend billiger. Aber Busbhanhof und Hauptbahnhof tun sich nicht viel. Sind eh auf einem Fleck (sozusagen) *gg*. Ich hab auch ständig bei Torchwood aufgequietscht, weil man soviel dort kennt und ich liebe diese Stadt einfach. Das Restaurant kannst du nicht verpassen, wenn du an der Bay bist *gg*.

Das ist eigentlich ne gute Frage *hihi*.
