I'll have mine but its battery life is approximately 12 seconds.


I'll have to type fast.

I got my tshirt! It has this on it:

Dinit have time to make a Triaxian one, but I'll still be be-shirted.

I can't find anybody! :(

D's number was some other dude (not her HB) and Ek isn't answering :(

And Star Trek Theatre is up and running... I had to go to Best Buy and get a new sound card and a VGA cable though, :lol:

Good luck. It's no fun driving 9 hours and then not finding your homies. But you know they're at the Hyatt -- just ask for them.

I DID! Holy crap we had fun. JK is here. D is here. Priso is here. EK is here. I'm here.

We walked up to John Billingsley and Connor Trinneer and just said "hey". And pRiso biought me tons of liquor. He insisted I try scotch. I'm pretty sure I had a huge conversation w/ two klingons in a bar about Yoyodyne Industries and its many star trek/scifi connections.

There are pictures aplenty of me getting carded. And oh how I wish Ek weren't preggers because that girl sober is like most people drunk. Her drunk would be like most people as Gods. She's hilarious. She's the one who just walked up to John Billingsley's table and introduced ourselves.

D is awesome. Priso is f'ing awesome. Ek is hilarious and awesome. That doesn't put D at the bottom of the latter for "just" being awesome though. Awesome is worth like 10 pts ;)

Looky me! Hilarious AND awesome!!!

Elessar and Dis are ALSO awesome and hilarious! :) We recognised each other straight away. John has bitched out his room with 3 computers and almost every star trek episode known to man. It is a theatrical palace.

Yes, Johnny, you DID have huge conversation w/ two klingons in a bar about Yoyodyne Industries and its many star trek/scifi connections. But they weren't Klingons any more. They had taken off their garb.

:D Just nodding off to sleep now, but I wanted to post these pix b4 I turned out the light. I see Johnny's still online. Go to bed b'y! We have Anthony at 10 am!

(PS - What's with the frikkin $5 charge to get online here at the hyatt hey? Bollocks to that shiznit.)

Here's the PIX:

Image
Here's me early on with the Klingons who are far drunker and clutching me below.

Image
Here's when I moseyed up to John B and Connor and showed them my crazy photomanips and they said, "That's actually kind of scary."

It really, really is.

Image
Image
Image
These three show John getting ID'd twice and Priso once while Dis and her hubby and I look on and giggle.

Image
Dis went over and gave John her card, as she is a doctor too.
John B did some funky impromptu cowboy dancing afterward.

Image
Here's me waylaying Garret by the elevators.

Image
Aaaaaaannnd....here's the Klingons from above, decostumed and after having imbibed some blood wine. :D

We are having an awesome time and the con's barely started!!!!!
Add more tomorrow. (Wish you were here T'Popsy! :( )

Going to sleep......so tired....

I woke up at 5 for some reason... going back to sleep...

The greatest thing about the Klingon on the left in that photo is that at first I thought it was Rigil and then D walked up to identify and it wasn't Rigil, but somebody else she randomly knew :lol:

The other thing was that I left the bar the moment Gigi Edgely walked up to it. And it was a classic fantasy "I'm at the bar at a star trek convention and gorgeous former actress walks up to the bar" scenario. I thought it was her as we were departing to find a table for dinner, but I wasn't sure. But I should have known... I mean how many gorgeous blondes in a pink dress are you gonna see at a Star Trek convention? :lol:

You managed to get me kind of awkwardly. I promise everyone I don't have Downs syndrome :)

By the way... do you guys recognize the EPISODE REVIEWS banner on my shirt?! Isn't it awesome? Designed by Drogna, made by Distracted!

so I lied about going back to sleep...

Ok so I don't wanna call and wake anybody up but there's an early early bird party in my room at 8:00 AM.

D, Ek, c'mon over around then if you're awake and you check this...
