Okay, so I'm slow to write this and everyone's probably read other con reports by now, but here's my ramble on the FSF convention (28 Oct 2006, Sydney). *takes a breath*
Nothing here is word-for-word, just how I remember it, so please don't quote me or anything. :P
The guests were Rachel Lutrell, Tony Amendola and David Nykl.
First up were the photos.
yokiem and I had photos taken with Rachel and David. Rachel was lovely and put up with 5 of us all cramming into one photo (and
derry667's spider puppet and K9 stuffed toy :P) with aplomb. She's so pretty and petite in person.
David was very charming and happily said something like "Here's two more gorgeous girls come to pose with me." and asked us who our favourite character was. I tell you "Zelenka" is the new "cheese" for photo-taking purposes. Try it.
On stage David was so relaxed and joking about the whole time. He really was just delightful!
( David )Tony was next up to the stage. He is just such a thespian.
( Tony )Last up was Rachel and she is a real delight. She's so small and petite and really quite different from how she comes across on screen.
( Rachel )So that was about it, there was just one bit at the end where David and Tony crashed Rachel's bit and they all joked around and answered more questions.
At this point, someone asked Rachel who she would pick as a love interest for Teyla if she had a choice form the current guys. Poor Rachel was all flustered, because she obviously didn't want to answer that one and she was kind of stalling. David went all puppy dog cute and sort of nudged her with his head, like
pick me! and it was really cute. I think he was trying to give her an out, but she didn't take it, just sort of said she couldn't choose.
Anyway, there was such a good dynamic with them all together, with David and Tony joking around and Rachel stuck in the middle giving them patient looks at times (like she gives Rodney and John in sga... same expression). My memory fails me at present over what they were asked at this point, but it was just generally very playful.
So yeah,
yokiem and I didn't get autographs, so that was it for us. We waited about for
derry667 and
mcalex22 to get their autographs (and some great photos too), because we all car-pooled. Then we went back to Derry's for Thai and more sga talk. Left a slashy message in Derry's LJ and confused people (she doesn't ship :P) and yeah, what a nice day!!!
