Collectormania 13.

Well I figured what better subject to start this blog than C13!! lol!!!

Well this was my first convention and to be honest I was not sure what to expect!!! lol!!!

I'll tell you all and put in my photos in particular order so if they aren't matching what I've written please forgive me!!! lol

Well we arrived at around 8.45am, just prior to the convention opening time. We had a bit of a wander and got my bearings, figured out where everything is and stuff!!! Then I got in the queue for VT's for James Marsters. I found out the times for my photo shoots and headed for a look around.

I then headed off to get VT's for the other guests that I wanted to get autographs for.

First up was Teryl Rothery. She had open queueing so it was just a case of paying your money and getting the autograph and a picture!! She was really friendly and happy to chat a little!! I think that she is really very pretty in person. And always has a smile for you.......










Next I went round and saw Connor Trinneer. He was very friendly. He even showed me how to turn off the flash on my digital camera!! lol. I'm not great with technology!!! lol!! He was also really friendly and quite cute as well...








Then it was time for my photo shoots with James and was pretty nervous about meeting him for the very first time!! But as soon as my turn came around I was fine!! Level-headed and calm, I actually surprised myself!!
He is soooooo gorgeous in the handsome flesh!!! lol!!! He was really great and so really friendly. He has such a nice smile!! And I have discovered that I have a real liking for an American accent!! lol!! He was very at ease! The first shot (with his arm round my shoulders) was taken and I found that I was very relaxed myself!!

This second pose is my personal favourite and was totally James idea!! I must say that afterwards I really didn't want to let go!! lol!!! Then it was time for a quick handshake and that was that!! I then had a quick drink and got James autograph.
Then had lunch and went back to collect the photo shoot pictures. Had another autograph done for James!!













Then it was just a case of waiting around for the staff to open up the queue for Paul McGillion. His flight had been delayed so....... I was kinda just milling around for a little while. Then Paul arrived and I got the autograph and snapped this picture and that was my day!! Well just the basics but if I went into more detail I'd be here all day!! lol!!!
If any more detail is required then feel free to leave me a comment!! lol!!
