Rise 'n Shine report - Part 1

[piksa]

Okay, done with the first part. Somehow I've got a feeling that this report might again get slightly long. However, I do hope I won't bore you. I've included some pics under the cut as well :)

PLEASE!!! Do not take any of my photos and post them elsewhere without asking me first!

Yay for the first report!!! The registration process really sounds like a nightmare... I'm sorry they had technical difficulties but, really, couldn't they foresee something like that happening?

The Pub/Club night sounds great even with all the troubles with the mobbing fans. I'm with you there, I can well understand people wanting to have a moment with the actors but there should be some unspoken code of behaviour in these occasions. Mobbing people is the way to make sure you're never allowed near them again.

Randy was mainly sitting around and talking with the pretty boys from the staff
I'm sure the pretty boys from the staff had a blast, then! LOL

Scott should blow at his direction to pretend to put down the cigarette. Instead of doing that, however, Scott got on his knees in front of Peter who just leaned back and pushed his crotch closer.
Ahhhh!!! OMG!!! *loves* That's it. More confirmation that we really should change our obsession ;P

Thank you so much for sharing pics!! I love your ensemble for the night!

*loves you*

Oh, the registration was just awful. Was so frustrated with it. And it did make me fear nothing would work the whole weekend. Some problems can always be expected but there were more than a few...

It was a nice evening. It would have been nicer if we'd had a place where to talk without having to yell at the top of my lungs. And it was just natural people were excited about seeing the guests. Maybe they didn't realize how actually frightening it can be for the guests when a horde of people suddenly ascend on them.

Yes, the gay boys did look happy :)

Scott and Peter were just a hoot together. It's quite obvious that they are great friends and seemed to be on the same wavelength constantly. They had something going on almost all the time while they were on stage. And I'm sure that outside it as well.

Just realized that I forgot to take a photo of the back of the shirt. It's a really cool shirt with most of the back completely open. :)

*loves*

Loved reading your first report, thank you so much for sharing your experiences at the Con with us.

Shame the registration was such a shambles. :(

Cute teddy. :)

Thanks for reading and commenting, hon! Even with all the problems it was a good con. The guests saved it all :)

Your memory of some of this stuff was so much better than mine.

It was great to read this, because it kind of filled in some of the blanks.

And, of course, ITA about the meet and greet thing.

In fact, it wouldn't have killed them to have invited the Loft people to the VIP dinner. Even if we'd had to pay for the meal separately.

Mind you, some of the people who actually went to the press conference were some of the worst behaved at the pub, so maybe that strategy still wouldn't have made any difference. *sigh*

But like you I can't help feeling glad that Gale was spared that. He would totally have hated it.

That's the reason why I made notes. Otherwise I wouldn't remember anything *g*

I've also noticed that reading other peoples' reports has reminded me of some things that happened, which is always nice.

I like your idea of inviting Loft people to the VIP dinner. It would have been nice.

The Friday was chaos. I do hope that if they ever do something like this again, they've learned their lesson and handle things differently somehow. I really did feel sorry for the actors for being pulled from photo to photo constantly. I have a feeling Gale would have ran for the hills if he had been there. And of course the chaos would have probably been even worse with him.
