Hils's journal

I haven't seen Merlin yet because it started just as the con was coming to an end for the day. I understand it's squeeworthy so I will be watching as soon as I can find a download for it.

On the plus side HOW AMAZINGLY HOT DOES BRADLEY JAMES LOOK WITH HIS BEARD? I will be making icons as soon as yavannauk had got her wonderful pictures up. I am sad I missed him, but the con is amazing so I'm glad I was here too.

James Marsters deserves a standing ovation when the con finishes tomorrow. He's still in masses of pain from when he injured himself a couple of weeks ago. He signed all his autographs lying face down on a table and resting on a pillow because he was in too much pain to stand or sit for a long time. But despite all that he was charming and lovely, made eye contact with everyone and took time to chat. When it came time for the photos we were all told not to touch him in case we hurt him, so James compensated by pretty much glomping everyone. My lingering memeory of my photo with him is warmth because he literally wrapped himself around me and stroked my hair. Amazing. I can't wait to see how it came out.

Nick Brendan was wondeful and chatty too, and he did the snoopy dance during his panel which was faboulous. We'd all been told no flash photography after the first minute but he told everyone to take as many photos as we wanted while he did the dance.

It's been amazing so far and they've already got Anthony Head for next year. I'd love to do it again but I can't afford the ticket right now. Maybe after Christmas. Right now my brain is just focused on Collectormania and all that's going through my head is MISHMISHMISHMISHMISH!

More autographs tomorrow but we did the bulk of the stuff today so it should be a fairly relaxed day.

Oh, and we watched It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester tonight

ASTRONAUT!

Amanda

The party started with much consumption of food and drink. Then we played Halloween Pictionary. It would have been better if I'd managed to think of more clue cards but we still had a giggle. Then, at Greg's suggestion, we played 'The Bag Of Hate'. This involved eveyone writing down names of famous people that piss us off, the names are then put into a bag and one is drawn out. The person who drew the name has to describe the person and whoever guesses it first chooses the next name. It was quite amusing. After that Amanda wasn't feeling too well so Greg took her home but said he'd come back. While he was gone we made some silly videos which I shall post in a moment. otw1980 and supernaturalhel spent rather a long time talking about Veronica Mars which just left me and jacqui_hw confused as we haven't seen it. jacqui_hw has decided that supernaturalhel and otw1980 are two halves of the same person. LOL. Anyway, after the silly vids we watched played a game where we drew character faces on balloons and everyone had to guess who they were. LOL. Finally we watched Sleepy Hollow and squeed over Johnny and Tim Burton. Then it was time for bed

This is how we decorated the flat. All these are pre-party. The place is a total mess now

That was fun. We were on a boat on the river and ther was a disco and nibbles and I got drunk and danced and Gred won the best cotume competition. Whee! Got some good photos including some of Vamp!Hils and Princess Leia. Some drunk woman took great delight in telling me she was on her period and a few people complimented me on my dress and cloak

I'll do a bulk Halloween photo post on Sunday when all the fun is over
