burntcopperan interesting time. Where the regulars pouted about how short the discos were and the fact that the bar closed way too early.
All those on facebook can see what happens in the late afternoons before dinner and parties : regulars can and will doze off while everyone's lounging in the lobby if they're waiting for/have had their autos/aren't on steward duty. Hey, lee falls asleep in the bar if you leave him alone too long, me curled up on the floor dozing is nothing.
There's a new dance for Footloose. Fear us. Tormenting of Tony is a fun, fun past-time when done in concert with Damian (we were offering most of the DJs as well as our sexual favours if he'd stay past 10:30 on sunday). Tony also got me for air-drumming considering I'm the most likely to start groaning about air guitar offenders. I admit it, I'm a hypocrite. (air keyboards are mostly reserved for Ah-Ha songs and beyond criticism since *everyone* does it) Jonathan Woodward was badgering Jono to let him DJ on Sunday night (and yes, managed to clear the dancefloor when they finally let him play a song). Fox spotted in car park on 3am on sunday. Sam the Whale won the costume competition. Me and Lewis poked Tamsin into going to Discworld. Got poked by Jedi Chefs over the fact that I keep dodging being made a Master Chef (ie, I don't have a hat or lightsaber) - my excuse being that I'm officially an Apprentice and Kurgan's my Master. Ambition is discouraged in the Hawaiian Sith, since we're way too laid back for that kind of thing.
And you know that really disturbing bears as characters thing people do? Someone just made Jedi chef bear, got it apprenticed, reason being that 'it's part of the fandom'. See the regulars scratch their heads. Er, no, it's part of the convention scene, not the fandom. What next? Bears dressed as the DJs and Claire in her chainmail gear?
Run down of guests :
Kavan Smith - Lorne
Dean Marshall - Bates
Paul McGillion - Carson
Torri Higginson - Weir
Andee Frisell - Every Wraith Queen Ever (different wigs and make-up)
Jonathan Woodward - no, we're not going to explain this one.
Have group photo, have autos (being second in the queue on sunday with a low number : must do this again) and my comments from Paul and Kavan are 'nice tat'. Kavan and Dean's talks had lots of theatre questions. Lots of accusations from the blokes of all the other blokes being gay. Am thinking this is a long-running gag on-set. None of them do their own stunts and say that actors who say they do *lie*. Plus, they're not taking away work from the professionals.
Andee : loony, hysterically funny, knows that anything embarrassing she does or says in the talk will end up on youtube - including when she accidentally let slip that Connor Trineer's due back as Michael at the end of this season and started going 'oh god I'm fired I'm so fired'.
Torri : such a sweetie, really. Lots of Weir-love, including everyone in a red-shirt photos. and the fact that she tends to say 'bugger me' when swearing has got her into some interesting positions with RDA.
Dean : spent two years in the reserves, so shares most of Bates' opinions on the military perspective, keeps slipping into a Trinidad accent (parents), can't sing lead but can harmonise as long as he can hide behind people, learnt steel drums from age 8, taught himself to play guitar by ear, recreated the pic his Dad took in trafalgar square in the exact same position and clothing as a present, and will be back at the end of S4 as an IOA earth contact in a suit. SQUEE!
Kavan : :dribble: Sadly didn't manage to get him to show off his tat, but he did ask to see mine in the autos. adorable, would put house music and all-atlantis twister on the roster if Shep got incapacitated. Has learned why you don't take five month olds on grand tours of Europe. Oh, and once got an involuntary enema when filming a scene in a stream.
Paul : can and will do impressions of the rest of the cast and tends to comment that the Hewlett is completely insane. Got food poisoning due to the hotel's club sandwiches. Spent most of his talk with raised eyebrow - I've seen similar from other guests but just don't find it quite as amusing on him.
Jonathan : has converts, even if they did spend most of his talks with a confused look on their faces... (you need to, er, be prepared for Jonathan's approach to questions, his tangents, the general madness and so on...)
ETA : oh, lord, I forgot that during the autographs, I asked kavan how he;'d enjoyed it, he said very much and that he hoped we'd liked him. My answer was 'course we do, you're funny, you're pretty and we're extremely shallow'. Cue me doing a facepalm and then saying 'I can't believe I just said that...'
Jonathan Woodward section
His first non-Starfury. Weekend started off with him not getting any sleep all week, and trying to fight off the effects of a sleeping pill most of Friday evening. Cue the regulars (and yes, especially me) being all concerned, quizzing his liaison over how he's coping, and pointing out to everyone else that he wasn't drunk, we've *seen* him drunk and that's not drunk, it's punch-drunk tiredness. (seriously. During dinner, he missed his glass a few times.) And once again, forgot to get money out, we think he managed to lose his passport *again*, and to top it off, the poor lad was really nervous over the new crowd. He wasn't allowed to swear, they're not used to how he operates and answers questions, they're not nearly as raucous and smutty, etc. Took them a while to get some of it. And thus all the regulars (all, what, fifteen of us?) were getting hugged every time he passed through. Spent sunday evening hanging around the DJs and bar.
Kind of interesting to watch someone with a rep for being over-confident and acting drunk and the party-master and master of ceremonies when they're completely nervous. To explain about Jonathan : Very intelligent. *Extremely* dappy. Class clown to compensate, and does really enjoy partying. Those who're used to him know how to cope and give him a lot of slack due to this since he is actually completely adorable and very nice, and spend a lot of time explaining his behaviour. And yes, there is a difference with our stockholm syndrome - we sure as hell don't make excuses for some actors who might exhibit similar surface behaviour. :cough: Andy Hallett :cough:
