There is only one reason was Saturday might have been better. And that is quite simply, James and Oliver Phelps.
I met them, see? See? Well, kind of. I got a picture with them. And had my arm around James for a total of like...a minute and a half. And he had his arm around me. And said hi to me. And asked me how my day was going. In his beautiful, beautiful accent. His sweater was so soft. Sigh.
I also got Kate Beaton to sign "Hark! A Vagrant" and she drew me a Mr. Darcy and an Elizabeth! Besides the James and Oliver picture, it is my favourite thing from the Expo. I just. Agh. <3
We went and saw Adam Baldwin's panel with Zach, though we got separated from Kayla because it was so full in the room, and she was the only one who got a real seat. (Maxine, Zach and I stood at the back.) Adam Baldwin is so funny! I just, ahhhhh. So good! I went and got his autograph on Sunday, and he's also super nice. He asks everyone what their name is, instead of reading it off of the little paper, and he asks what you do and starts up a little conversation with you. It makes you feel like a real person to him, rather than just a fan. It was really really nice. And he actually looked at me when he signed, rather than just staring at the picture and shoving it at me. (We talked briefly about "Twelfth Night" and it's steampunky-ness. He loved the idea!)
Sunday was okay. There were so many people it was actually kind icky trying to move. Kayla and I tried to get an autograph from James and Oliver, but gave up because of the craziness, and I decided to go get Adam Baldwin's instead. I also got the author of Kill Shakespeare to sign my copy of the first volume - he was really excited and nice too! So yay!
It was overall a really fantastic weekend, I got to see Patrick Stewart in the flesh, and James Marsters and Amanda Tapping. It was wonderful and nerdy and just great.
