Planet Babylon - Convention report part 1

[piksa]

I so wanted to keep posting all kinds of random tidbits throughout the day today but in the end decided to go with one at least closely coherent post rather than several posts during the day that are in random order. If my adventures in Paris and Planet Babylon convention interest you, click the cut. *g

Sounds like a fantastic time. Interesting conversation with Randy during the coffee time. I'd have been horrified about the topic of fan fiction and RPS. That's the golden rule, never mention it to the stars!

Love the costume! Happy to hear you got the crown. :)

The whole experience was really great. Yes, the topic of fan fiction and especially RPS is forbidden when talking with the stars. Would you like hearing that someone is writing fiction about you and pairing you with whoever? Not good!

Thanks for your kind words about the costume. The crown was a nice surprise. When the competition started I really didn't think I could win *g*

It was really great. Loved meeting Randy Harrison as well as all the lovely people from LJ.

The con was great fun despite the small organizational problems *g*

Randy was just wonderful and surprisingly easy to talk to. I'm very glad I sacrificed the money for that coffee moment with him.

Wow!!! what a wonderful time you had & thanks so much for sharing with us all.

I'm not that much of a Randy fan:) sorry after Gale he does nothing for me!! But I liked how he answered all your questions, & yay he didn't think that B&J broke up in the finale, but hey as IF you'd mention RPS fic,,like OMFG!!!I'd of died & gone to homo heaven,,people amaze me.

I can't believe you remembered it all:) & I loved your costume,,later jx

It was so great!

To tell you the truth, I wasn't that much of a Randy fan before my trip since I haven't really seen him in anything else than QaF. I just wanted to take advantage of the chance to meet him since he was close by and of course to see some LJ peeps. But he ended up totally winning me over, which probably came across from my report. *g*

I was surprised I remembered all that too. Usually I'm a total scatterbrain. Still, lovely memories. :)

Later!

Thank you!

The convention was great as a whole even if the organization did frustrate us occasionally :D
