Met a couple of fellow LJ'ers,
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
grasshopper64 and Beckie, and had a fun weekend running around to different panels, discussing TW and DW and the like. Also met the gals from WI & IL -- serefina743, emerald_nebula & friends. There was a bunch of actors but I was mainly there for Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones of Torchwood) and Jason Dohring (Logan of Veronica Mars; Joseph of Moonlight). I also dropped a chunk of change on photo ops and autographs and it still came out cheaper than CreationCon I saw this in the parking lot and knew I was in the right place :)
Pictures of Gareth's Q&A Saturday morning where he declared he rolled out of bed 3 minutes prior to the panel (which was at 10am) and still slightly pissed, LOL. Gareth is a great guest cause he's very talkative, he's funny and can just generally go. Swears a lot too but it's all part of the charm that is GDL.
When he first came out, everyone started taking pictures of course so he obliged us with a few poses. This was the only one I was able to get:
After Gareth's Q&A, off we went to Jason's photo op. Considering I have never seen Veronica Mars and barely 10 minutes of Moonlight, can I just say Jason is a friggin' cutie! While waiting in line, guess who I glimpse through the window...
The rest of the day was spent getting our photo ops with Gareth, autographs of both guys and attending discussion panels. At night, there was a costume competition and I just loved these 3 --
For the Doctor Who fans:
A boogeying Bumblebee:
Life-sized Potter Puppet Pals
In the dealer's room, there was an Adipose cake (again, for the DW fans). So cute!
And of course, what is a sci-fi con without some Star Wars
Moving on to Sunday which started off with a bang. Well, more like a really really really annoying fire alarm. There was a charity auction in the morning and as I walked by, guess who I noticed auctioning off a few British edition DW books. Why Gareth of course! So, I quickly snapped a few pics
Pictures of Gareth's Q&A on Sunday.
When a fan approached the mic to ask a question, Gareth noticed that she was a holding a dog (I actually saw quite a few dogs in the hotel this weekend). He immediately asked the girl to bring the dog, Darcy, up to the stage and proceeded to be utterly adorable.
He actually ended up holding Darcy for a while in the chair. Not only was this so cute, it also meant Gareth wasn't constantly moving around so better pictures!
These are for you Fan!! Jason's Q&A on Sunday.
I wasn't going to post these but I figured people would ask and, you know, what the hell.
Photo ops with Gareth & Jason on Saturday (quality isn't the best cause I took pictures of the pictures)
And then I kinda lost my mind and did it again Sunday.
And that was the weekend =) I've also borrowed Veronica Mars S1 frombauersgirl -- figured I should actually watch some of Jason's work, LOL!

Glad you had fun!!
I noticed the lack of a wedding ring too, fan, but now I see it in the photo op pic. Weird that he didn't wear it at the q&a, though.
Was John all yummy? He looked great on the telly.
John was indeed yummy! Our four American friends grabbed just as he was passing by in front of us, when the show was over, to go back-stage, and got a picture and a few seconds' chat. ^^ Apparently Gareth left his a message on his phone "but he's all the way out by the airport."
Oh, I'm glad the gals were able to grab him for a picture! All the way by the airport, John? C'mon, it took me 20 minutes! :)
Is Dragon*Con a viable option? -- GDL will be there as well as James Marsters...
I don't know who GDL is, but that he was tired, half-drunk, and a pottymouth makes him aces in my book.
Did I mention that GDL was all that with a Welsh accent? *swoons*
I didn't know you had two photo ops with each of them!! You're getting good at this! I can't believe how shy you used to be about photo ops, now you're just getting right in there! hehe
It was probably a good thing that we missed tonight's Maria show, it was a snoozer and I'm sure you would've fell asleep.
Doesn't JD look good? He's still cute in VM right? Right?
Yea, I did 2. Can't believe I did that but oh well. Probably would never get the chance again. You know it's bad when both of GDL & JD recognize you.
I had Maria on and listened to it while I was typing up this post. A lot of it didn't sound very good at all. And songs of 1965 was the theme? Boring.
Oh, 1965 was the theme?? LOL I actually paid attention and watched the show and didn't know there was a theme! I'm so stupid!
I'm hooked on Veronica Mars right now, and I spent the whole of season 1 going "awwww" at Jason. Let me tell you, he's even more cute/hot now than he was then. OMG. And Gareth+Darcy=awwwwwwwww! ;)
Yay for Jason Dohring. I miss Logan Echols so very much.
Jason Dohring definitely deserves a \o/
Do you mind if I snag them (with credit, natch)? Any chance I could beg you for higher-resolution copies by email?
Thank you!!
Thank you!!!
Too bad you didn't get into Maria, I'm figuring Gareth decided not to go probably because he knew all the fangirls would be there:)
I saw Jason in the elevator as he was about to leave on Sunday evening, I said hi to him and he asked me when I was flying back to London - so he knows me now.. I asked him if he would come to England soon and he said yes! The man is just too adorable.
Reading the different comms/boards, I think a lot of con people just went down to the studio hoping to get standby tickets or something but because CBC is just made of fail, they were letting them in. Seriously, I have never seen such a big crowd before and it wasn't just a few that got turned away, there was like 50 of us!
I'm thinking, if anything, Gareth would've met up with John after the show or something. I did hear that John's parents were in the audience cause it was his mom's(?) birthday.
Adorable, that is Jason. So awesome you got to see him one more time. =)
I highly recommend season one of Veronica Mars, it is incredible.
