Leaky Con Day 4
Saturday, July 16, 2011
Eillen, Holly and I woke up early to get in line for the Starkid panel. We ended up seeing Warlock's Hairy Heart as well which was...okay. They did only have one rehearsal, so I am forgiving, and the music was gorgeous. But I didn't really enjoy it that much.
When the Starkids came on...the place errupted. My ears hurt after. They sang songs from AVPM and AVPS and it was so amazing. I enjoyed it way more than I expected. I got a lot of footage, and a group pic which was meh. But I can't believe how amazing it was to see Darren perform live. I mean meeting him was fantastic, but seeing him perform...woooooow.
I stayed for the actors panel as well, which was okay. It got a little repetitive, especially with the kids, but it was still really cool. Will, Rohan and ...Arthur? I think. Well anyway, James Sirius, young Sirius and Albus Severus were definitely the most entertaining. Al had never read the books, except the epilogue - gasp! Hugo was so shy it was adorable! (And later at the ball, he was totally the opposite, running around on stage high fiving everyone). Evanna, Chris and Scarlette were the best part, though. Evanna apparently ships Dumbledore/Luna (you just need a time turner!) and Chris ships Wood/Percy - which I now need to read because it makes so much sense. I didn't stay to get pics, which I wish I would have. I went to get in line to get autographs, and waited over an hour but the line was too long so I left. We went for supper at Tchou Chou instead (and by we, I mean Room 1725 + Kaci), which was pretty and tasty, but slow.
The ball. Wow, the ball. It was soooooooo much fun. I danced with Room 1725, Sara, Kelly, Taekia, Elizabeth, Charles, Kate, Karen, Amy, Michelle, Lauren, Delana...so many people. I don't even know how to record what happened. Paul, Alex and Whompy DJ'd. Charles is a dancing fiend. Sara was so much fun. Total Eclipse of the Heart was played 3 times. THREE. We made Melissa cry. We sang "WE ARE WIZARDS WE'LL PARTY FOREVER THIS NIGHT WILL NEVER END" in a chorus over and over at the end. Holly had to leave. D: The baby Potter actors danced in the crowd for a while, and then on stage once Evanna and Scarlette appeared. I high-fived Christian again. I met Joella. All the people who made Leaky happen got on stage for Total Eclipse of the Heart and danced. After the first, Alex xcreamed "ARE YOU READ FOR LEAKYCON TO BE OVER?" the answer was obvious. So they played it again. After the second, everyone started to chant "Esther" over and over. So a tearful Melissa started to play once of Alex's solo songs in her honor. Which was followed by Total Eclipse of the Heart again.
Hey, Stormtrooper. Wrong fandom. :P
And that was the end of the ball. Not that ayone left. We all just hung out in the Great Hall until we were kicked out. 1725 found an emotional Andrew and we chatted before going back to the hotel room. We stayed up and talked until 3-ish. I don't remember what about, but I know that none of us wanted the night to end, because that would mean it was the end.
Lookit all of this beauty.
