Before the convention officially started, we went into the Legends merchandise room and had a look around. I fell in love with this bag and bought it:

I'm so glad you're doing all these detailed posts! Especially since I wasn't able to be there for the opening ceremony!

Oh, I didn't know you weren't there at the time! Did you have stewardy things to do instead? It was short but sweet and very funny. It really doesn't matter what he is doing on stage - he is great in everything ;)

I wasn't there, period. One of the lovely things about the way GABIT sets things up: the Stewards never have to choose between doing a volunteer shift and attending a key event! During all Rick's stage appearances, the Stewards were either on duty in the same room, or off duty!

No, I arrived late because I had agreed to pick Robin up at Sea-Tac airport and we'd drive up to Vancouver together in my car. And then her flight didn't get her there until after 7 pm, so it was way late by the time we finally got there!

Kidding! I’m kidding! LOL

You crack me up!

Great pics!

I guess nobody could have paid for the bag if he really was stitching his autograph ;)
I like that it says "I met the man" as a statement.

Das ist so toll, Astra. Da hat man das Gefühl dabei gewesen zu sein. Der Rucksack ist eine super Idee. Mit der gestickten Unterschrift von RDA 'wow'.
Danke für den ausführlichen Bericht, und die Fotos.
*Stellt schnell Kaffee und Gebäck auf den Tisch*
Danke fürs teilen

Das ist kein Rucksack, sondern eine Umhängetasche, ich hab nur den Tragriemen ein bisschen versteckt fürs Foto. Freut mich, wenn Du das Gefühl hast, dabeigewesen zu sein!

Great stuff, Astra. Keep it up! Thanks for the memories... sigh... :-)

You're welcome!

He stitched in his autograph, yeah, sure *lol*.

Didn’t know a convention includes so much rules! Very reasonable, of course, but still whoa! And there is the Sea Sheppard logo, again. May I ask - since I’m so very unknowing - why is it looking so … I don’t know … threateningly? Even the pirate’s crossed bones look friendlier than that. Every time I see it, a shiver runs down my spine. Seriously.

Anyway, back to the stage and “the” man, who just wants to be “a” man. Oh, that’s so sweet. As is the not-knowing-what-to-do-on-stage, followed by the not-wanting-to-leave-it. Congenial *gg*.
Paya’s pictures I’ll have to leave for later … later as it already is, that is ;). And since you left us hanging here with such a nasty cliffhanger, they will help filling the time :).

Waiting for the next part…

That's my story and I stick with it ;)

They wouldn't need so many rules if people would use their common sense. You shall ask questions that are of interest for everyone and not just ask "Can I give you a hug?" Imagine if everyone did this.

No idea about the logo but Rick said Wylie also didn't like it.

Don't forget Paya's pictures they are really worth it. And what's even worse that I read all your replies yesterday half an hour after you sent them, which was even later...

Glad to hear from you, I started to worry a bit!
