I finally got around to uploading some of my LFACC photos to flickr.com and I found a guy who posted a load from the day, including the Heroes guys doing the signings! They didn't allow pictures to be taken, and you needed to be pretty damn tall to take them from far away. Enjoy. (Adrian is so prettiful at Comic Con, I wish I'd been there!)

I only really posted about the OMGTOUCHINGADRIANPASDAR yesterday, so now you get my ADD con report. :)

Saturday-
The first day of the con was pretty low-key, it was really an opportunity to browse the stalls and shop. I went with dad, and we got a whole sales spiel about HD DVD players (really not interesting, but they were showing 300 and had this split screen thing that showed them filming in front of the blue screen. We watched medieval roleplayers, and I got a Firefly t-shirt. Every SF fan should have a Firefly t-shirt. Then dad noticed that Gary Kurtz was there. My grandfather used to work for MGM and he knows Kurtz quite well, so my dad was like 'let's go over nd say hello!'. Personally I thought it was a bad idea, and I was right, Kurtz didn't recognise him, even though they have met quite a few times, and since there was no one in his autograph queue, I think he was kind of embarrassed. :/

After we left, we saw The Simpsons Movie, which kind of sucked.

Sunday-
It was an absolute nightmare getting there on Sunday morning. The closest tube station had engineering works going on, so we had to walk down to Holborn and it took about ten minutes to get tickets because all the machines were broken. I had an Oyster card, but mum didn't. It was horribly hot and crowded, I think everyone must have decided to descend on tube at that exact moment. It took so long I very nearly missed the SGA talk, but we got there just in time.

And, the ( autographs! )

So.

ADRIAN PASDAR TOUCHED ME. OMG.

*ahem*

( Squeeings and pics behind the cut. )

So, I'm back from the first half of the London Film & Comic Convention, I've got to say, it's very low key, which was kind of a let-down but it's probably a good introduction to the world of hardcore fandom. :) They were rather organized, I got sent from pillar to post trying to pick up my tickets. Bored security guards - not the best people to ask for help. ^^ I didn't get any celeb pics today, but I did get rather a lot of pictures of cars. :D

( Cars! With occasional K9 and medieval fights. )

I also got a couple of t-shirts, a Stargate pin and a Forbidden Planet poster. There's a gorgeous Superman print on one of the stalls which I might be compelled to buy tomorrow. :D And I had the rather unique experience of watching a Starfleet officer and John Crichton have their photo taken by Crais while Aeryn looks on. ^^

Torri's dropped out of the LFCC. :( She was going to give a talk and everything. But! Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar are coming! *fangirls*

I might go to the London Film & Comic Convention in September. You can buy the tickets on the door and they're damn cheap. And, it's 15 minutes by Tube. ^^

Brent Spiner was going to there but had to pull out. :(

I haven't got anyone to go with, so I'd either go alone, or with my dad. *shame* But his new kid is going to have been born by then, and he flies out to the Czech Republic every other weekend to be with his girlfriend anyway...

Still! I'm excited!

Also, randomly, I named my Nintendo DS Kowalski. O.o
