Oogh. It's all blurring together in my head now. Basically, Jim Butcher was a wash. Which was irksome, but kind of inevitable the way things shook out. We're hopeful for tomorrow. I feel kind of bad, actually, it's what Moose came down here for. The sequence of events here is a bit wacky, so I'm not sure what order they're in. But all of these are true.
Eventually we made our way back up to the autograph hall. I got Edward Furlong's for
viridian and for me... he looked pretty exhausted. Or maybe tired and emotional. I'm not sure, with him. And he didn't have any CSI stuff for me, so I got Terminator stuff for both of us. So now you have a Terminator signed to you by Edward Furlong! And I did not confuse him with Eric Balfour, thank god.
I went over to Adrian Pasdar, then, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. Adrian's line first and then jumping to Sendhil's, because they were both relatively short. Adrian is even more gorgeous in person, was really adorable. I asked if he had any Profit photos and he said no, "but we really should!" And I told him I loved that show, and then the boy spoke up behind us and said he should have something from Solarbabies. Now, if any of you have seen Solarbabies... I'm sorry. It was bad. And it was 80s. And bad. And Adrian kind of hemmed and hawed and then verbally hid behind me when I said no, we weren't going to go there. And we talked another moment about Profit and then I moved on to Sendhil. And he is even more hot and smexy in person. Oh my god I want one. I never found him devastatingly handsome in film but in person oh my god. He just has this warmth about him. And we did the usual pleasantries and personalize that, yes please, and then I had to ask if he was evil in Covert Affairs. And he said well, you'll have to wait and see, but the next three episodes were really going to reveal some things. And he was really excited, too, I think, that I'd been watching Covert Affairs. He was talking it up to the guy ahead of me and then I mentioned that I'd been watching it and liking it and he seemed like he brightened.
And then! Um, then. Then, there was Colin Ferguson and Neil Grayston. And Colin Ferguson was... amazing. First, the guy ahead of me asked him about Allison. I mumbled something about how he finally dropped teh Idiot Ball when it came to Allison, and his eyes flickered over to me, then the guy in front of me conversed with him a bit more about that, then Colin replied and was sort of fumbling around words and I provided "Not a happily ever after, you have to work for it" and he looks at me and is all "Exactly." So I squeed. And then it was my turn and I told him I really loved the writing, and how they hadn't pushed the reset button on the timeline, and he said he felt the same, that he was really glad when he got the next script/word down from the producers, whoever the "they" was who told him. And then I somehow managed to ask if I could get a picture with him. Now, I had my tricorne on, but it wasn't staying very well on my slick hair without a scarf underneath. So he gets up and leans over and my tricorne fall sover my face, and somehow in the ensuing chaos he got one arm around my shoulders and the other around my head and is pretty much enveloping me. And it was hysterical. And adorable. And we all laughed, and it was perfect! And then he hugged me and the boy took the picture.
And THEN (god, Eureka gets two paragraphs.) Neil Grayston. He had these really awesome glossies that weren't pictures so much as motivational/promotional posters for Global Dynamic. Not Eureka the tv show, Global Dynamic. So I got one that was all "Think Global, act Dynamic" and looked kind of sinister. With Fargo. So you can, if you've seen the show, imagine the effect. I said the same thing to him about being glad for no reset button, and he said something similar, and I said I was really glad because it seemed like Fargo was growing up, getting to be a grown up, something along those lines. And he said yeah, he really loved that, and wait till episode 13-or-whichever-one-we-just-finished-shooting because he got to be all take charge! do this! fix that! And it was really cute. AND. He liked my tricorne. The one that Colin Ferguson knocked off. And then he wrote, on my glossy, "You're [sic] hat is rad!" Which I think is even funnier for the misspell. A-dor-a-ble.
I got Brandon Routh's by sneaking over while I was in line for Summer GLau, who had the biggest damn line out of the whole walk of fame. He was really nice, signing something for a soldier ahead of me. And if I remember right, he was one of the two who read my shirt, which reads "Real Goths Don't Wear Black. They Sack Rome." and liked it. And I explained, well, history and anthro, I had to grab it. Jewel was apparently very sweet, but I didn't get to be with her very long. And Summer was absolutely tiny and adorable. She, too, liked my shirt! She read it and I told her the same thing. Bri said something about her picture selection and I commented that that's because she's always playing the girl who kicks everyone's ass, and she made a little "rarr, I R badass" face. Which was so cute. And I asked her if she ever had seen what an internet phenomenon she was, and she said no, she didn't want to look at that because if she did and saw the negative stuff she'd be upset for a week, which now that I think about it I think I had heard about her. Which is also cool, I can totally understand that. But she was really, really adorable. And really patient with her huge, long line.
William B Davis was there too, he looked either exhausted or just plain overwhelmed. I've got my ticket for Michael Shanks tomorrow, and they
do have Victor glossies. YES. I did remember to go back and ask Mark about the Pacino, he hadn't done it on purpose. (Although I wonder if now he'll go back and see what we were thinking of or just be all "nah, that girl's nuts.") And we talked some about the kiss and I told him I wanted my kiss back. That was not sexy. And he said "Ah, but me and Jim Beaver..." and I had to admit, that was kind of sexy. And hilarious.
Oogh. After the autograph hall and the several trips through the dealer's room, we pretty much called it a day. Standing in Summer's line alone was half my autograph time, it was insane. And tomorrow, it's just going to be Cheetara again. My feet can't take the heels if I'm going to do autographs too, I need to do something else. Maybe an hour on the costume catwalk and black sneakers with boot spats after that. Unless I can find black flat knee-high boots between now and then.
Day 2 over. Lots of fun had, and now over. Day 3 I only have 1 person to collect autographs from and the rest can be taken at my leisure. Though I may go back and get the pirates' autographs. A couple people were struck off the list for being exorbitant and/or inaccessible and then I flailed and took out a bit more money when I forgot my autograph money at the hotel room. D'oh! So. Pirates, I think. But only if their lines are short.
And maybe I can sneak another hug from Colin Ferguson. >.>
