I got back from my vacation last night and what was the first thing I did when I got home? Watched Doctor Who, of course. :-D A geeky end to a very geeky holiday.
I wouldn't say this Stargate convention was better than last year. This year and last year were both equal in their unabashed geekiness. No set tours this year due to some unavoidable circumstances, so everyone who had the tour as part of their package got $150 credit. Which was cool and kind of annoying at the same time. Money to spend on whatever you want? Cool. Credit only good at the con? Not so cool. I ended up buying photo-ops just because there was nothing else worth buying. So $300 worth of credit later (used my mom's credit as well as mine), I now have photos of me with Michael Shanks, Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett, Rachel Luttrell, as well as a group photo with Brian J. Smith, David Blue, and Elyse Levesque from Stargate Universe. That last one I'll have to get back through the mail, which kind of sucks, because that was my favourite. Those three guys are tall. I expected Elyse to be tiny, but she's maybe 5'10, 5'11. Me being the dumbo that I am, I blurted out, "Wow, you guys are tall" before they took the photo but that led to them squatting down to match my pathetic 5'4. So I hope the photo turns out.
Also, David Blue, who plays the resident geek on SGU, is going to go far on the convention circuit. He's a geek in real life so he'll actually know what people are talking about when they ask a question about a certain episode. He was snapping off episode titles at the drop of a hat. And he was personalizing every autograph he did. I also didn't realize he was on Moonlight, that short lived vampire show. He played the geek vampire on the show. Hmm, I'm sensing some typecasting...
Anyway, I got a crap load of TV to catch up on. TV addict? Yup, that's me.
