bendy1 has slaved away at Sunday's Q&A transcript, on her LJ Heh, seems like by Sunday he'd forgotten he wasn't meant to tell about Captain Jack and 'John Hart' snogging on TW ;D And he gets into the whole JohnB and his behaviour on set business too. I'm glad John won him round in the end

I guess I can post here....although there really isn't much to post! I went to the party on Friday, which was nice, but the American crowd is not nearly as friendly as the UK, except I did meet Wistful there, which was a nice surprise...and there was another fan or two at our table that were very friendly....one from North Carolina, with a cutie daughter, and another lady, on crutches cos of a bad ankle, who were very nice. We were greeted at the door by Lisa...I was surprised to see her, and would have liked to asked her how she was enjoying the con and Atlanta in general, but she is not very warm towards me, don't know why, lord knows she's seen me enough times to know I'm harmless, lol. I did tell her I was representing the BS forum.... Steve Himber was taking the money, of course. :)There were two other British ladies there that I remembered, but not their name, who were also helping out....one was tall and slender, the other had blonde hair and both were really nice. 8-)When James arrived, it was decided he would visit each table for a bit, and that seemed to work out well. He was looking good, his hair looked very nice! He finally made it to our table, and just started off talking about all the shows he had been guesting on. He had a plate of food following him around, untouched, and I told him he should eat, rather like a Jewish mother, lol. He took a bite, and laughed when I told him " now we all get to stare at you while you eat!" He answered questions about music and roles....I asked him about TW...and he didn't tell us about the role, but about JB being such a great guy, that he (JM) had hurt himself during one of the scenes, but was trying to hide that fact by putting tissue on it to keep it from marring the costume (musta been a large scratch??!) and that JB took him in hand, so to speak, and cleaned it up and fixed it...and that JB was great. I asked him about the actor who played Ianto, Gareth, (and to my shame, I couldn't remember his full name... me, PK.. ;D) and he got very enthused and said he was fantastic....that did we know he had sang a number with him in Wales, which of course, we did! He said he thinks GDL is gonna be really big! (Which we all know, too, lol!) Then after finishing at the next table, he got a tall stool and sat in the middle of his adoring public, which I've got to be honest...well, ya know what....I'll just skip the honest part cos it may not be the nicest thing to be. Suffice to say, there was an adoring public at his feet. He answered some very personal questions (he did say he was open to all questions) and was quite adamant about how to raise his son and niece...I think he tries to be a good parent, and wants only the best for them, as most parents do. The rest is mostly about sex and I'm sure you've read those already....

Lol, can't help myself. ;D It was a nice evening, and it was being continued in the bar after 9, but I went on back to the Marriott. I didn't mention the fantabulous costumes there were this year...even better than last year, but waaaay too many people for even the three hotels to handle. All the popular q & a were mobbed, with people lining up in and around the building for the Whedon Universe, Mythbusters, and the Harry Potter group....and of course, the trekkies and Star war peeps.... I stood in a line for about an hour to get the autographs for the young men who portray the Weasley twins in HP, and who play Neville...James and Oliver Phelps, and Matthew ( ). They were well worth the wait....very personable and friendly to all ages and seeming to really enjoy their popularity! They are also quite good looking, especially Matthew, who looks nothing like the nerdy Neville, and is quite handsome....I noticed this with my motherly eye of course, not anything freaky.... ;D James was signing autographs just a little way off....had a steady flow, if not lined up, and Juliet Landau was right next to him....she is very thin! She seemed very at ease with the autograph seekers and talkative.

lol...I haven't mentioned my most fav panel....don't have liquids in your mouth.....first season winner(s) of Who wants to be a superhero! It's on scifi and is produced by Stan Lee, who does the Xmen and Spiderman. The winners were Fat Mama, Major Victory and Feedback. They were so much fun! They are having the time of their lives and don't care who knows it... ;D The actual winner was Feedback, and he is making a movie, and is getting his own comic book. It was a great q & a. Right after it was the Whedon Universe q&a and I was hoping to be able to stay and see it, but they emptied the room...grrrrr! When I asked about where the end of the line for the WU was, I was told it was out that door and down those steps (the Hyatt)...and I went and had some lunch...... Another fav was one I entered by accident, thinking I was just early for the TW panel...it was David Lloyd, a british graphic novel artist, who was involved with V for Vendetta .....

Apparently all the Brit-track panels were very popular, which is good to know. You sound like you had an absolute blast. I'm so pleased
