A very happy birthday to kilted, vehiclesshockme, and fitofpique!

I am so exhausted from my Paddywhack weekend. He was lovely. I asked him how he was and whether he was enjoying his trip during the autographs, and he said 'I love Australia and I love Australians', to which my brilliant response was 'I love America and Americans'. Fortunately, I did not then actually bash my head against the table the way I wanted to. The photo session went better, I got a hug and asked about Harley and Sadie. Harley's had an operation but he's doing fine now, and they were getting fat at their 'grandparents' house. He was so adorable talking about them, he seemed genuinely happy I'd asked. SO CUTE, that boy, seriously, such a darling. My photo came out ok. My photo with Kandyse McClure sucks, but she was super sweet too. We had a chat about people pre-judging BSG based on the fact that it's sc-fi (*cough*melissajane14*cough*) and she was really lovely, and very beautiful. I saw Jewel a bit, but didn't get a photo or autograph because I've done that before.

Supanova just can't hold a candle to Hub in terms of interaction and organisation, though. They were a mess. They rushed you through everything, had no system when it came to autographs or photos or anything, and did stupid things like putting Jewel in a tiny seminar room when hundreds of people turned up for her talks. We didn't even get in today. There was SO much unnecessary queuing going on. The panels were excellent for the most part, even if a few of the questions (more than a few in Jared's case) were just terrible. I'm sure somebody else will write about what he said, and there will be pictures, I'm sure - none from me, I have no camera. All the guests I saw, including a bit of Nichelle Nichols, were entertaining and charming and way better than that crappy convention deserved. I got to see leishpod and a bunch of other people, which was great. Now I must go pass out in bed so I can wake up tomorrow and convince myself my legs still work and I can go watch kids. Bah.

Thank you very much! ♥

I'm so glad you had fun! But I have one question: how GINORMOUS was Jared? It's important, Katie.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

OMG GINORMOUS. I was going to do this hand thing and I forgot, but in the photo I come up to below his chin and he's leaning down a little. VERY TALL. I will do the hand thing if he comes to Carissa's con later this year/early next year.

I need a decent Paddywhack icon.

Twas good to see you again on Saturday.
You're damn right about Supanova not being able to hold a candle to Hub... Supanova doesn't even hold a candle to Armageddon which is a similar sized event. At least Armageddon's queues moved...
