The Con - Saturday

[hils]

I don't actually have a lot to report about this one because it was fairly uneventful - but I have photos which is all you guys want anyway *g*

We got up early on Saturday because it was James day and I was expecting a huge queue. Helen and I met up with tasabian and we walked over to the con together. I was amused and slightly baffled to find that the small group of people we walked past while we were looking for the queue for James turned out to BE the queue for James. We were only an hour early and I was expecting masses of people. When I got my virtual ticket for James's autograph I was number 30 which is the lowest I've ever been for anyone at one of these events.

Afterwards we went and had some breakfast and I wandered around the stalls and saw this wondeful Lex collage that I just HAD to have. How sad is it that I am building up a collection of things for when I meet Michael? I've put my Lex t-shirt aside to wear and now I'm putting this aside for him to sign




I also saw Boromir's sword complete with Bean autograph which made me all nostalgic for my days in the LotR fandom




I then bought a lovely photo of James and John together which I thought would be perfect for them both to sign.




Sadly the same thing happened with John as with Brandon Routh last year and he stopped doing personalisations just before I got to see him. If Michael comes in September I will be there insanely early just in case. LOL!

So, since our numbers were so low we went to see James not long after he arrived. He spent ages hovering over the picture and I thought he was trying to decide where to sign it. 'Are you looking for some free space?' I asked him as a joke. 'No', he replied. 'There's just so much cool stuff I like to look at it all' Well, that told me. LOL!

He was great though. Because I paid for Helen's autograph as a birthday present James thought both items were hers, and when I said the other one was mine he apologised for his bad manners and shook my hand. Aparently as I was leaving he said something like 'cool necklace' but I didn't hear him. Damn.

Afterwards tasabian told us what James had said about Tom and we all gushed.

After that we had some lunch went to the library to play online before we went for our photo shoot with James. I wound up with two photos but I honestly can't see anything wrong with the first one. Well, I'm not going to complain






The others headed back to the hotel for a rest and I met dj_intheuk and we wandered around the stalls for a bit. I talked her into buying Superman: True Brit, because it is hilarious *g*

By the time we were done the photos of James were back and then I went back to the hotel and crashed for a bit until Doctor Who came on.

After Doctor Who we met up with complicat, who it transpired was in the room opposite us, and tasabian and we went out for dinner. Pizza Hut. Yum!

supernaturalhel caught up with some of Lost on my laptop and then it was bedtime.

Oh, and we saw Iron Man on Friday. Best comic book movie EVER! Even better than Batman Begins. Robert Downey Jnr IS Tony Stark. I can't remember the last time I saw more perfect casting in a role.

If you haven't see it go and see it. Now.
