I thought Jurys was a fab hotel , big clean rooms , power shower to die for when you've tramped around the concrete jungle that is MK , and bumping into the fella who was the voice of the Face of Boe in the lift on Saturday night ...although we didn't realise at the time till I saw him on Sunday wearing the same cream suit ;D
I was
desperate to see Tony Head after losing out on seeing him at the last Collectormania ...not that anyone noticed my state of high anticipation cos I kept it oh so quiet *snort*
He's an absolute smasher ...but dreadfully slow , for which I forgive him totally
James had signed 800 autos whilst Tony was still only on 280 ..and Wil and I had tickets in the 330's ...and then he stopped for lunch !
It all gets a bit hazy here , but I do believe Teebs and I went to queue to get photos with JM .. I don't recall what I did/said ,or what James did/said , but the evidence shows me looking like the village idiot again ...and no , my double chins and inane grin will never see the light of day ...!
So, then we went to see if Tone had restarted ...he had , but was still only as far as ticket 320
The jobsworth in charge of the queue wouldn't let us in , but said he'd be upping the nunbers soon ,so we waited ..and he did put the numbers up...to 330 *scream*
When we first arrived , we spotted George Hertzberg and Mark Lutz parked of to one side and with hardly anyone waiting for autos , so I dragged Wil and her camera with me and bribed the boys with a rum truffle to let me take pics with them ;D 'Just the one truffle mind'... I told em , which George said he was going to add to his coffee ..Mark snarfed his and looked like he wanted another one , but I said ' Not at those prices mate ' ;D
Anyway....finally the jobsworth put the queue number up to 340 and let us in...but not before he let a couple of girls who hadn't got tickets in before us
Ah well , more
drooling gazing time for us ..we could also get a good perve at Brandon Routh as he was sat next but one to Tony ...bless him, but the guy in-between was Chewbacca and didn't have anyone in his Q
Finally, I was up close and personal with the twinkly , scrumptious , adorable giggly Tone ..
And here is where I suffered a bad case of verbal dyslexia , cos while he signed my pic , I said ' Oh, you're a lefty too ...I find most lefties are peculiar' *foot planted firmly in mouth * 'Umm I meantersay
artistic *flails*
' Have a truffle ' ;D ' Have two ..if I can let my friend here take a pic '
He said I could have a photo anyway , but he took a truffle and then had O face for a few seconds ...whilst I just gawped
I do believe the pic is lovely , but I was blinded by Tony lurve ...and refused to wear my readers, so I haven't seen it yet ;D
Hmmm, what else ...oh yes, Jamses did a Q&A ...the first 10 minutes of which had me snorting Bud ..but I was counting the minutes till Tony's performance later
