Well, what can I say about this event? It was bloody awesome that's what. It has tired me out, however, so not sure how I'm going to do for posts and graphics, even though I want to spend all evening doing both.
Natalia {Tonks} Was a sweetheart - she spoke to me for a good five minutes or more, about the movies and the books, and how she agrees that so much was cut out for the movies, but hopes I'll enjoy the last movies, since they split the final book into two. She really was lovely - very accommodating.
Kai Owen {Rhys - Torchwood} Was a bloody handsome speciman of a man, he is Welsh as well, and he was just bloody brilliant. He spoke to me for a good five minutes, and hopes Michelle feels better soon. Haha. Yeah, I said Michelle couldn't make it because she wasn't feeling well. Thought I better give some sort of excuse for why I needed two autographs. lol. Again, very accomodating. At the photoshoot when I thanked him and said it was lovely to meet him, he said "Cheers Babe" He called me babe! I've not been called that in like forever. Haha.
Amber Benson {Tara} She was very sweet, spoke to me for about two minutes, but agent wouldn't allow photos at the sigining because she was doing photoshoots. Fair point I guess. But she was very jolly, and jumpy. When I was waiting for my photoshoot photo, after getting her autograph {considering she'd seen many} she remembered my name, and was very sweet when getting my photo taken with her.
Robert Picardo {Woolsley} Wasn't sure about him at first, when I went to get my autograph he appeared a little off hand I felt, even though he was more than happy to sign both photos, one for myself and one for Mich. Of course you pay for the autographs, not like he could say no. However, he may have just been feeling the jetlag as when it came to the photoshoot, he couldn't be nicer. Making me come closer to him.
Mike Edmonds {Star Wars & Harry Potter} Well, when I say he was a wee gem, I'm not taking the piss out of his size. He really was a wee gem. Very funny guy. Signed and allowed a photo of him to be taken with no problems what so ever.
Thought I would have died having to wait in the queues for the three photo sessions, but I asked if I could sit on a chair while waiting, and Mike was waiting in the queue, in a wheelchair lol. When one of the crew members came up to me and asked if I was waiting on a bag. I was like no, I'm waiting for the photoshoot, but I've got severe arthritis, they said I could sit and wait until it was my turn, hubby holding my place in queue for me. He said go and get your ticket, you're going in first. He let me go in first for the three photo sessions which I thought was really nice. Couldn't thank them enough for that.
Bloody shattered - and cost a fortune, but bloody well worth it!
Here are the photographs and autographs from the event. Enjoy.
