Opening a thread for Con reports nice and early, in eager anticipation!  A whole bunch of folks have registered tonight so that they can arrive tomorrow at the venue more at their leisure. The gals from the Cold Dead Seed board phoned me from a pub earlier tonight, and passed the phone around... I spoke to loads of 'em and they all seemed in really high spirits, lol! Our dear Sueworld is a wee bit worried about being able to last the course tomorrow, as it is such a long day and she has been in bad health, but fingers crossed for her. |

Sorry if I'm double posting PK, but want to tell you as much as I can. It's been great, except yesterday was one of the most exhausting of my life. Never been on so many tubes trains and what have you. Thank goodness for NN and then Maggie (All seeing eyes) we'd never have figured it out. Snow and Pixie are pretty good with the directions too. Twisty was shouting Charlie again down the tunnels, but then realised it didn't sound right now, so switched to James--y. Lol. The hall is okay, those plastic folding chairs, so the cushions (yes, we remembered them lol) came in handy. David B. excelled himself. I've never been so entertained in my life. Worth every penny, every single penny. James is just his gorgeous darling self and you know I'd pay anything to see him. Our pic has to be done again. Nothing wrong with it I don't think, but bit of me cut off, glad actually as there's too much of me! Still we get to cuddle the bois again, so what the heck! Me, Ladyhawke and TC had one all together with DB and James. James had to s t r e t c h his arms lol. First though, they had to change the film so David comes over to queue of gels, LH and TC and chats, so friendly. I of course don't take my eyes off my boy and he goes to get a drink and stretch and then he does a kung fu kick, he is such a kid! He cracks me up. Last night when we came to register, NN, Px, Snow, Twisty, Will, LH, TC, MissKitty et al we're all clustered in the foyer of the York Hall and who comes in? You guessed it! His highness, as if he's an ordinary person, Px and me go white and can't breathe, then I berate Deb for not having the camera ready and then the others are bit fed up cos they were facing the tables and didn't see him and guess what? He was with a gel!!! I was sick with jealousy, how pathetic is that? Glad he's got someone though, I mean it, I really am. :: refuses to swear on bible :: I just want him happy!  She's reed thin and dark! Grrrr. ;D |

Lol, Ditto keeps posting this in Prattle, so I keep copying it and bringing it here! ;D Just grateful for the info! And! he was carrying a guitar case! Must have come to do a sound check and practise. ;D He said in his chat today that he's shortly releasing a solo CD (you prolly already knew that PK) with some new songs and all the old faves we like, such as Smile, This Town etc. He talked about The Mountain and guess what? David was right cheeky in he talk, which he went first contrary to originally planned. Thing is after I heard a gel say "Follow that James!" as DB was so entertaining. He was though that's the thing, but no need to say that is there? Grrrrrr. He says he was just a guest on the Mountain? I thought he was in it permanent? Should have been only two days work and they wrung four out of him! So DB who is just so quirky and has that sense of humour! He said something about the Mountain disparagingly, quite funny though. I'm useless at reports PK, I'm sure someone'll be along soon with a proper report etc. LoveJames is sat in front of us and I've seen lots of familiar faces. All having a good time and some of the outfits are to die for. Px has brought her cat face costume and Snow has a fantastic outfit. Wish I was young and slim. I def need to get fit and thin, yesterday with the trains and tube. Me and DeeDee were fair lagging behind. Every step we were saying James James James or we'd never have made it! Them lot were trying to kill us I'm sure. Plus, we're bl**din' miles from the York Hall, 3 tubes, in a taxi it'd cost a sodding fortune! Excuse the language, but next time I hope they use hotel/hall combined! Luke Perry was very entertaining as well and Amy looked lovely in pink with a bump and she's having a boy and is lovely and giggly. SueWorld is sat in front and she is a hoot PK. In the pub last night with the gels and Maggie (All seeing eyes) who is also a hoot, as well as NN. Such personalities lol. well SueWorld was saying it'd be embarrassing if everybody just wanted James and not David (no chance of that, the man is fecking gorgeous) and SueWorld took of a peep in the audience saying "Bring the short one back on!" Lmao. The pub is Bethnall Green (nice lively place as is this internet cafe with gorgeous Carribbean food, change from Kurdish lol, those three, TC, LH and MissKitty are stuffing their faces lol) was called The Approach. Rocking it was, with fantastic music, but Px and Snow were falling asleep at the end, such a tiring day. |

Sorry PK, we were inside getting plastered! Didn't know they'd phoned! They were sat on the tables outside.  Don't know what else to tell you, there's tons of stuff, but I'm useless. Some peeps are having to have their pics done again, including AllSeeingEyes, cos of a shadow, we're supposed to have ours done again, it's another cuddle so we're going for it, but it looks fine to us! ;D Willow is changing her board name to Paula the Packhorse lol from lugging cases and prezzies yesterday lol. Not give anyone the prezzies yet. They've got DB gold cuff links, gorgeous. I didn't know he was into golf! I can't say enough about DB PK, he was awesome, so funny and he sure gave us value for money. Waste of time me saying owt about James, I'm blinded by love. I've gotten worse, half the time my heart was pounding today, I couldn't breathe around him. OMG there's no hope for me. Hope Bendy doesn't read this. ;D DB gave tons of personal info even about his family and answered all and every question. James questions were more the theatre stuff, cos let's face it, we know virtually all about him lol. David and his better half Jaime are wanting a sibling for Jaydon and are building another room in the abode they had built. What else? Can't think what to tell you. Juliet is on at the mo and we should be there really, but needed fresh air and sustenance and they'd run out out butties lol (Lisa said she'd told them an'all what gannets we were, but they didn't believe her lmao) and also they ran out of milk for tea, so that was our Daf out the door quick like to find a cafe. This one is dead handy, right on the corner and LH says we're coming here for Sunday lunch lmao. As long as James isn't around fine is all I can say. Today he just swanned down the hall, nobody every realises it's him till he's been and gone! He's the bl**dy Scarlet Pimpernel. The times over the years our Deb has said to me "That was James!" Grrrrr. The new pics of James and David are to die for. I got two big badges as well, with James on, one in case I lose the other lmao. Cost us £46 for the ones we got, but I had to have them. My fave is the one of James and his guitar. I'm framing that one. Gorgeous. The atmos in the hall is very good, Buffy/AtS fans are just such nice peeps. Lots of peeps there that you know PK. You have to come next time, they have to have it in combined hotel/hall. We shall get up a petition! |

I couldn't do a proper con report to save my life. Miss Kitty is calling over "Tell them about the spot prizes..." they keep doing them, picking out at least ten prizes each time, really good ones. All the guests have done it up to know and one of the prizes is called out as 12inches of Spike lmao, James says not 12inches, just the 10½ lmao. Got to go gels, chat tomorrow. :: smoochies :: OMG more James .....  |

Just had another phonecall from the CDS Gals ;D But it was very noisy in the background and I missed a lot of it, sorry  They were having a bit of a break, and say it is pretty tiring, but having a wonderful time. Going back into the fray at 8-00, for the evening entertainment. James has been wearing black and grey (I think) today, with baggy black trousers, and at one point was trying to climb into the balcony, for some reason :shock: I did catch the bit about James liking oil in the bath... and apparently there was tongue waggling as he answered this question No-one asked him what he was going to work on next apparently, although he did say he had been offered loads of parts - but mostly sci-fi or other genre stuff, and none of it was particularly good. He enjoyed working on The Mountain, with two days extendign to four, and liked his character, a man with problems but who loved his son.... Said he got on really well with that actor. David sang "Mandy" on stage and apparently it wasn't bad! :lol: Jane Espenson is going to do a commentary on "Pangs" tomorrow, which sounds brilliant. I really like Jane Sueworld was hollering in the background, so she is obviously coping okay! :lol: |

I'm dying of jealously here - I sooooo wanna be there Why can't I be there! (Stamps feet and throws temper tantrum)It all sound so exciting - thanks Ditto for the reports. I went out last night with Christine, Louise and Chris and we were talking about the Halloween Con and wondering how it was going. Sigh, I wish my folks had never moved us to Australia. |

Oh well least I never that I could never go, one of the girls on my site had tickets to go and all org and everthing and they she and her father could not leave the country (USA) because of something with his work!

Another quick update from Ditto: Hiya gels, 'Toy Pixie says she has a really nice photo of James and his guitar. ;D All the gels say hi, they're just having a cuppa in the internet cafe, have just watched Jane Espenson doing a fantastic commentary on Pangs. She was really good. Deb Daf and I had our pics taken again, individually this morning with David and James. OMG is all I can say, I stroked James down his back and DB was so gracious and they were giggling when it was my turn! ;D Pix promises to write up a proper report as soon as she gets back, good job, as I am pathetic! Dee asked Juliette two questions this morning. She's not a bit shy! Juliette is gorgeous and she was really entertaining. She also says going to ask Luke Perry and Amy some questions, as they were also entertaining, very much so in fact. The whole thing has been a blast from start to finish, we've all been highly entertained. DB has been magnificent and James of course .... demi-god. |

Hey, guys, it's Pix. not Ditto... promise to write up a report when I get back, I've been writing everything up in my diary, though only in brief, I'm afraid! I'm hoping it's just enough to jog my memory, and I'll be able to remember the details when I get back. I'm going to try to write up a LONG report when I get back tomorrow... fingers crossed! I've also taken almost a whole 36 exposure film pf photos, so I'll try to get those developed and scanned, so you can all get your vicarious kicks!
See you soon,
Px

Lol, just one film Pix?! You're slipping! I've seen where someone has taken 200 pics so far ;D I've got a few follow up questions to ask about things that happened/were said yesterday, so maybe that'll help jog people's memories when report writing |
