The Alamo Marsathon: The Main Event, Act One

Jan 21, 2006 05:16

The last two days were merely leading up to Saturday, the Big Day. One of two, for Sunday would be Big in its own right. But we're not there yet.

Special thanks to sadiekate, outoffashion, spadada, waitaminute17, and thewizrd (courtesy of schnappycat), whose kickass pictures I will be linking throughout the rest of the posts.

Let's do this like Brutus.

You did not just compare me to those Laguna Beach bimbos, right? I'm just going to forget about that and say, aww, you were waiting all day to meet me. How cute. Love ya too.

But holy crap, that was a long recap. How did you actually remember things I didn't when I took notes? What the hell? Even if you did mix up some Sunday stuff into Saturday. ;)

And now we all know your mysterious connection with Rob and the emailing. You guys are music buddies. Hehe. I had no idea you guys had emailed each other THAT much though. Who can say you brag? But, hey, you punched Rob! What were you thinking!

Oh, and Rob fooling around with the guitar was soo worth going to Stubb's. You missed out.

So that was westcoastlovin who made that Duncan comment. You got my big applause, where ever you are. That was so soley needed at that point so thank you ( ... )

It was the first comparison that came to mind. I mean, your name's even Kristin! I mean, you're totally smarter than all of them put together, but you're also just as hot. And yes, come on, you're one of the people I wanted to meet, and I thought I'd meet you before then, but nooooo.

Dammit! What was Sunday? Also, anything in particular I "remembered" that you didn't? Because it may have actually been something someone else reminded me of first. But I should have taken notes.

And now we all know your mysterious connection with Rob and the emailing. You guys are music buddies. Hehe. I had no idea you guys had emailed each other THAT much though.Heh. How much did you think we e-mailed? I'd say since August, it's been fairly ( ... )

YOU'VE SENT HIM FANVIDS?!?! Whoa. Like naty_'s? (I'm assuming if you sent anyone's it's hers, right?) Does she know about this? So I'm assuming if I want to get responses from Rob, I should start out with small emails? Dammit! *violently throws long email to Rob into the recycle bin*

There's a video? Of Rob? Playing guitar? Oh, you're very lucky.

Dammit! What was Sunday?

Good God! I'm not sorting through that. You bled a bunch of stuff together. You can wait for my own posts to come out. Hehe. Though that robot response? I think I'm going insane because I swore Kristen put her mic up to Jason's mouth and he said "Robot", like it was something he always teases her about, and she knew he'd want to comment on it. Yet everyone's recapping that it was Kristen who said it. And now I don't know what to believe. AH! MY BRAIN!

I haven't sent him any of naty_'s, no, because they're so highly encoded I can't play them half the time, and Rob is technologically impaired. But I made him install DivX to watch f1renze's "Déjà Vu" video because I knew he'd love it since it was about Veronica and Lilly. I also sent him a couple S1 recap vids ("Lepcis Magna" and "A 5th of Veronica") when we were trying to replace UPN's highlight reel masquerading as a season one recap on the website.

And yeah, heh, short e-mails might be a better way to start. He's a busy guy, after all.

Also, backup10 has put up her notes, and I saw how much fucking stuff I used from Sunday and how much fucking stuff I forgot from Saturday. So to counterbalance, I'm sticking leftover Saturday stuff in the Sunday post.

And I don't know about the robot thing. I didn't see that, but who knows.

It's early. Can I have a muffin, instead of a pizza?

(I even appeared to her in a dream, guys...specifically to TELL HER TO WATCH VM).
Ha!

Are ladydisdain225 and dearladydisdain two people?

That's not going to quell those "I don't know how spectralbovine can talk...

Are these sorts of comments from your friends--meaning to kid you in a good natured manner, or is this fandom already that far gone, that they're trying to cannibalize the posters who've managed to catch the VIPs' attentions?

Good write up, Sunil. It makes me wish I was there, and feel like I was. Did you happen to meet two Bronzers (newfan and white wings--Brooke and Julie)?

Yes, they are. LadyD was in Austin, Tris (Dearladydisdain) is the one who loves Lee Adama from BSG.

Unfortunately, the later. Someone started an anonymous meme for people to post what they disliked about VM and its fandom and things went personal and ugly pretty quickly. Some people seem to be displeased that Rob talks to PC and not to them.

Also, hi! :) (In case you remember me. If not, just ignore me...)

Goober. Of course I remember you. You're on my fl. Thanks for the ladydisdain differentiation. Did you go to Austin?

I had read of that before I read this entry, but I was hoping, because Sunil joked about it so much, that it ended up being something he started, or something a friend had started as a joke.

That VIP envy is pretty typical in fandom. It's ridiculously petty.

That was the best description of the event that I've read, and I think I've read almost all of them.
I'm jealous and grateful, but mostly, jealous.

iheartbridges and petunia[846] were sitting together because they're totally BFF. Pity there's no such thing as a bridgeflower, or they could be BFFF.
If there's a way that a warden can be a flower, surely there's a way that a bridge can be a flower. Also, mostly we were sitting together because I was freaking out at all the people and was being clingy to bridgy as she was the only person I felt I knew at that point. I was all, 'Don't abandon me!!!' and I think I may have physically flailed.

And by the way, you have my numbers wrong in that sentence, and the link goes no where. Petunia486 is apparently not registered.

I don't know who the hell else I talked to. Probably bridgey and petunia.
You may have talked to bridgy as she was wandering around, but you did not talk to me at that point.
