Dragon*Con 2011 Report, which has officially killed my brain. Part One.

Oct 08, 2011 14:29

I’m FINALLY finished writing this thing. Yowza. It’s not quite as comprehensive as my previous reports because I pretty much refused to write anything down while it was happening, relying instead on the powers of memory and youtube to recount the experience. But the highlights are there. (I think?) Read this if you wanna know exactly what it’s like ( Read more... )

supernatural, kirk, crochet, picspam, sheppard, oh god i just wrote a novel about dragon, data, nonfiction, trueblood, star trek, doctor who, ronon, castiel, hyper erection mode, eureka, con, life, sga

So, I followed the link to this from the D*C LJ, obviously, like a creepy stalker, and I am pretty sure that next D*C, I really would like to buy you some sort of beverage. And high-five you.

Because this is the BEST CON REPORT I HAVE EVER READ, and I haven't even read the rest of it yet.

i'm so glad you liked this part of my report! i know what you mean about cosplaying - i went as a na'vi from avatar last year, and i could barely walk two steps in any direction without being stopped for a picture. it was fun, though. :) did you go to the harry potter yule ball on sunday?

not into shatner, i'm more of an archer/bakula fan *points to name*

And I swear he stopped aging at least twenty years ago.
i think so too. i saw him and nimoy in '09, great panel.

At one point, someone asked if they’d had any suspicion that Crispin Glover wasn’t going to be able to stick around for all three BttF movies, and the moderator paused for a second and then said, “Are you asking if they knew he was crazy?”
*snort* what did they say?

For the entire panel, the woman had her arm around the man, and her hand was like, playing with his hair and stroking his ear. The whole time! It looked like she was giving him [oo-mox]. I would be so annoyed if someone did that to me while I was trying to listen to someone else talk.
i saw something similar at a star trek panel last year. a guy kept stroking his woman between the shoulder blades. i was distracted by it & thought i wouldn't like that sort of thing.

oh, i LOVE scott bakula! we met him last year, and he was super nice. i've only seen a couple of episodes of enterprise, but i was a huge fan of quantum leap. did you go to d*c last year?

i saw shat and nimoy in '09 too. definitely one of the highlights of the con for me. they are so great together! i got my picture made with them, but in the picture i'm pretty much fangirling all over bill, and leonard is just kind of there, heh.

i actually don't remember exactly what christopher said about crispin glover, except that it was pretty diplomatic. i think he said he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about the guy.

haha. i don't like to think of myself as someone who judges how other people display affection, but... dude. petting your wife in public? come on.

i don't like to think of myself as someone who judges how other people display affection, but... dude. petting your wife in public? come on.
