Just waiting for some money to clear into my bank account and I should be buying my gold ticket and photo ops for Jared, Jensen and J2 tomorrow or the weekend at the latest. Just crossing fingers and praying nothing sells out in the meantime.

Since Jared missed coming Downunder for AHBL6 last month, seeing him at the 2 US cons is even more of a priority now, so much so that I will be doing Supanova this month on a very tight budget. I can't pass up the opportunity to meet Nathan Fillion as I don't know when or if he'll do another Aussie con in the future but will have to go on a cheaper weekend pass ($55) than the specialty VIP ticket I normally get for this con. Am also going to have to choose between getting a photo with Nathan or his auto as I can't afford both (unless I win lotto or do a shit-load of overtime in the next couple of weeks). Prices are pretty damn expensive ($110 photo/ $100 auto) which is more than what I paid for Jensen at AHBL6 ($100 photo/ $90 auto). Will probably do the auto unless one of my friends wants to split the cost of a photo op.

The other auto I would like to get is Dean Haglund (Langly from the X-Files' Lone Gunmen). I'm hoping I can get into panels for Nathan, Dean and --- don't laugh!!!! --- Peter, Bobby and Cindy from the Brady Bunch. Being in my late 40's that show was a huge part of my childhood so I think it could be a lot of fun.

First, Nathan Fillion was announced and I squeeled out loud, especially as he's coming to my hometown so I don't have to fork out or airfares or hotel accommodation.

And then I get an email update and see that Dean Haglund has just been announced. Langly -- 1/3 of the Lone Gunmen from the X-Files and I squeeled even louder. XF was my first online fandom. It was the reason I forked out a hefty sum for my first internet connection (arggggg, super-slow dial-up--- how I DON'T miss you) and it's still holds a super special place in my heart. And we are getting more!!!!! So, so excited about the 6 ep revival and that both David and Gillian are on board. It would not be XF without them both.

And then I realised that with as many cons as I've been to over the last 10 years and how many of my favourites actors/idols I've had the absolute pleasure of meeting, Dean will be the first one of (what I consider to be) the main cast: Mulder, Scully, Skinner, Krycek, CSM, The Gunmen.

An added bonus is also Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, an awesome geeky science guy who actually makes science and physics not only understandable but lots of fun, the sort of guy you wish was your science teacher in high school.

And Adam Spencer a mathlete turned comedian.

Neither of these guys are your typical con guests but I'm really excited to be seeing both. And I love that we are getting such a variety of awesome people to meet and interact with at Supanova. There's always someone I'm interested in which is why I love going so much.
