OzComicCon Perth #1: Platinum Meet&Greet

[vyperdd]

Just a quick post.

Ben Browder is as fucking gorgeous as ever!!!! And funny and adorable and gorgeous. He's well into post production with Bad Kids Go To Hell 2 and is really hyped about how good it is. He's also working on a video game but couldn't give any details other than it should be released some time this year.

Michael Shanks is still as amazing and wonderful as the first time I met him a few years ago. And I kinda like the beard, like a lot!!!!! Asked him about doing SPN and he said he originally read for Crowley but was called back for the role of Rob in 99 Problems. Said he enjoyed doing the show but was a little disappointed it was such a minor role.

Billy Boyd was very sweet and adorable who seemed to be enjoying his first trip to Perth. Told him some local tourist spots to check out. He wanted to know the best local surfing beaches.

Other guests (that I didn't get a chance to talk to 'cause I was pretty focussed on Ben and Michael) included Billie Piper, Robert Englund, Kevin Sorbo, Dominic Keating.

It was a really relaxed gathering with guests mingling with small groups of fans for a really decent amount of time and very, very low profile security (even for Billie).

And it was wonderful to meet Laura vinegar_dog and her pal Angie, awesome Scapers. We chatted for a long time after the guests had left and I can't wait to hang out with you gals over the weekend.

Tomorrow is going to be full on with lots of panels, photos and autos.

Thanks, hun. It's been an awesome weekend, so sad that it's all over.

Will have another couple of posts up soon as I want to type things up while they are still fresh. After having not slept for 50 hours straight (because of work and a visiting mum) I crashed as soon as I got home Saturday night. Still feeling tired but have a couple of days off so will be able to recover.

Yeah, there is!!!! Just a little minor weekend event with a couple of ordinary lookin' dudes from Texas, I believe and then Nathan the month after!!!!!

Looking forward to a con where nothing clashes and I don't have to miss a panel to go to a photo op.

Went to bed early but watched a few SPN eps and caught up with FB and Twitter so didn't go to sleep til well after midnight, then up about 8 to walk Sam so caught up on some sleep and feeling much more refreshed.

The internet is the bane of my sleeping life, I go to bed with my phone, for alarm purposes, and them BOOM it's half 12 O_O
