Hi my name is Becky, and I'll be your fan today.

[mad_brilliant_]

Greetings, gentle readers. I went to DragonCon! There were splendid things there, like trout on grits. Black eyed peas. Pecan cookies. Whale sharks. Wil Wheaton (who had the best panel EVAH.) And James was there! Really, something or someone for everyone. Yes

Sooo many cool things here, thanks for that.

[mad_brilliant_]

Thanks, was my pleasure. :)

[shapinglight]

Thanks so much for sharing. What wonderful pics.

[mad_brilliant_]

You're welcome! And thanks. :) I left out the part about going to a Season 9 panel with Georges Jeanty. He said that poor Scott Allie is tormented by the Buffers (his word for Spuffies) and the Bangels. He also said that Joss says that Angel is Buffy's soulmate, but is unattainable. And that Spike is the one Buffy would end up with, even though he's not perfect (like Angel is???) He said that Joss wants Spike to be a main character in the Buffy comic now. He asked for a show of hands to see how many Spuffies and Bangels there were. And I'm happy to report that the Spuffies far outnumbered the Bangels. One Bangel was obnoxious though.

OMG I just noticed this. May I quote you on Spike/Spuffy related topics?

[mad_brilliant_]

Sure, you can quote me. I went and looked at a couple of vids I took. Here's what he said

[empresspatti]

Thanks for the recap!!

I always so appreciate your pix and experiences with James. I sure hope I see him on a screen again someday soon.

[mad_brilliant_]

You're very welcome! :)

He'll be on Hawaii 5-0 very soon. But he shared a spoiler about that. Let's just say I'm bummed. But! He also said that he might be back on Supernatural. So that's good.

Thanks for being so thorough, Becky.

Not until next summer?! Whyyyyyyyyy..... /whine

I love that Eliza brought that up. Made so much LOL when I watched that vid after con weekend.

Love that Macbeth still, too. So much mood in that.

You know, I love that James reads this genre of books cuz even if I don't like it, buying it is a write-off cuz I write it, too. Fandom's deductible, lol. Chris McGrath makes a lot of art with model John P. Pfeiffer. I can't quite tell if it's him on Greyfriar, but it is on Rift Walker. He's the model for the Dresden covers, too. My Greyfriar finally arrived Wed. Just like Amazon to send me book 2 first, lol.

A whale shark at the aquarium! Very cool.

And as I'm writing this, we just had a minor earthquake. Whee...

[mad_brilliant_]

You're welcome!

I know, it's such a long time to wait. ::pouts:: But we'll have the new CD to listen to come November. Yay.

I'm glad Eliza brought that up too. :-D

That Macbeth pic is so purty, I'd never have him sign it. But I do wonder what he would put.

Very handsome model, that one. It really did strike me how much he looks like James.

I felt that earthquake too! I also felt one yesterday morning. This joint is jumpin'. :-P

[jacobs_muse]

CD is good but I hoped for a release concert around that time, sigh.

Aaah, now you put a song in my head with the 'joint it jumpin''.

Yeah, the Macbeth pic would have to have a very tiny autograph on a corner part or something. Or on the back would be better. Now I'm curious if he posed for it at the time or the photographer caught it in action.

They don't resemble each other much in plan realistic photos, but they both have defined faces with the cheekbones and such. I've been fangurling JPP for a few years and have way too many pics saved, lol, but he does a lot of book covers now.

The 4.1 in Yucaipa? I saw it trending on Twitter and had to laugh at the hub-bub over a 4.1.

[mad_brilliant_]

CD is good but I hoped for a release concert around that time, sigh.

Me too. Darn.

Now I'm curious if he posed for it at the time or the photographer caught it in action.

I also wondered about that. I'm going with posed. But these are questions to ask him about. We must know. ;)

Oh was it centered in Yucaipa? No wonder it seemed so small to me. I was thinking about tweeting it, but decided not to. Haha.

I always love your con write ups sweetie! Thanks for sharing. That Macbeth picture is really rather yummy. LOL @ Gareth's poster re-working.

[mad_brilliant_]

Thank you! It's my pleasure. Isn't that a pretty pic? Too pretty to have him scribble all over it. :-D Oh, that Gareth. I love it! lol
