Pegasus One

burntcopperPegasus One, the friday and saturday at least, were immense fun. Though my first statement was when looking round was 'Where are all the bisexual girls?' This appears to be one of the major differences between Wolf and Starfury cons. More straight females, less stalkers, less obviously nuts. Though this may be something to do with the Buffy fans. Less alcoholics, which is just *wrong*.
Is a tad odd to not have a direct information line into what's going on, as none of the people who staff for Starfury even steward for Wolf - sort of an agreement thing. Though I will say that stewards at Wolf seem to have no idea about what's going on.
Anyway. Wandered into meet 'n' greet, which was fun, although a tad too big, but did have the amusing bit when I wandered back into the bar and started chatting with Taz and co, and the guests would wander past to go to the loo. Have discovered something else. Share a table with the Jedi Chefs and all men will home in on lightsabers automatically.
Partied partway into the con dances, before leaving dancefloor for room. (things you never expect to hear at cons : Rainbow calling Taz a 'cockblocker'. He retracted this after having it explained to him that she was merely looking out for me and making sure that the bloke I'd pulled had a room to go back to) Yes. Well. Anyway. Very nice time was had.
Saturday - talks, photos, signings.
All of the cast are insane, way too much fun, and... I have to pick individual moments?
Someone told Joe about the little bounce he does. See Joe go '...I do a bounce?' Audience : 'You do.'
BTW, Joe has immense cowlicks. The hair does that *naturally* and the only way it doesn't is to add more gel than is known to man or grow it a lot longer. Also? That photo in Sheppard's room is of Joe as a kid and Evil Knievel.
Joe and Jason agree on the Ronon = Shep's personal attack dog thing. Both of them did the :Shep lazes: 'Ronon! Kill!'
All of Ronon's jewellery is actually Jason's that he makes in his spare time. He also helps design Ronon's wardrobe, and is somewhat happy that Ronon now has a Summer Wardrobe that includes linen.
Rainbow can kill you by virtue of making you laugh too much.
Craig : *CHUCK* got my job? (this man's hips are also classified as a WMD, as seen later that night during 'I'm too sexy' and 'Love Shack'...)
Ellie? We adore. Way too much. Too fucking funny. Still annoyed that I missed her standup on sunday due to being too ill. Caught one bit where she was apparently trying to explain astrophysics with someone else's arms in place of hers and it was hysterical.
Aaron : :loves: See him rant. See him tell stories. If in doubt, as we did on Sunday, get him onto the subject of CSI Miami and the lead (him that used to be in NYPD Blue. Red hair, smug expression, talks to walls). A rant of half an hour of pure comedy gold, with impressions.
Ivy told us many things of casting reality. Most interesting. Including the times she's had to duct tape an actress she's set on's tits together to create more cleavage to convince the producers.
Queuing - not too bad, except for Rainbow, who takes, like, two minutes per signing. It got to the point where people (and Aaron, who decided to hang out and talk once he'd finished - for some reason we started on talking about Las Vegas) were yelling across the room 'Christmas is coming!' 'Which year?' 'Terminal 5 has now been built!' 'Sod Terminal 5, they've started on 6,7, and 8!' 'Don't distract him, he'll take longer!'
Fancy Dress - more in the way of skits - we had Shep and Teyla stick-fighting, Wraith!Teyla and Teyla stick-fighting, Wraith being served dinner, to name but a few. Aside from missing the blue floaty stuff on Teyla's skirt, mine was still most accurate. :smug: Had discussion with the Two Teylas about materials and the bloody front piece to Teyla's outfit.
Got pulled into sword/stick fighting with several people. Ow, arm *aches*. Danced lots. Aaron plugged in the Irish music for the last four songs, which proves we will dance to anything if it has a beat and is silly enough. Most of the lads love the dancefloor.
Woke up sunday, threw up. Threw up several more times. (this was a pattern that morning) Got ready for photoshoots and talks, plastering large amounts of concealer on eye area. Went to Aaron and Rainbow and Joe's talks, spent a while lying on the floor in the corridor, saw Ellie for about two seconds, went to room to sleep. Sunday evening, stayed up for an hour, attempted dancefloor, decided it was just not possible, went back to room. Apparently this was thirty seconds off people grabbing me and frogmarching me there.
Good time was had. Just wish hadn't got virus. :sigh:

Cue lots of The Pogues, The Chieftans, various covers my non-irish bands, but no bloody Westlife or Boyzone!
Methinks my mum's gonna think I've reverted to my irish dancing childhood. Eep!
