London in Feb '10

I had the real fortune of going to London again 6th - 8th February. I was really looking forward to seeing not only James again, but meeting friends both old and new.

I was rooming with another Karen, lol, we ot on really brilliantly so we were both looking forward to a great weekend.

Firstly there was a concert on the Saturday evening (6th) it seemed short but then again when I had last seen James in concert there had been 2 support acts! Even that said he was on stage for 90 mins... just him and his guitar. :-) Then downstairs for a natter with some girls we were meeting.
The Sunday was an all day event, we arrived at The Tabernacle at 11.30am and were taken up to the concert hall in the lift and we (Myself and other disabled attendees) were just milling around on the balcony while all the others were getting seated. I had assumed that because the tables were arranged quite close together that we would be settled afterwards, but no, we were to have our photoshoots done first, so that we could be settled while the others were having theirs done. I think that James looked absolutely wonderful in the suit.
Then James and an actress red the play called "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney. I was so moved by the play. Not many eyes in the room were dry. Then we had a short intermission before the stage talk/Q&A. He had changed into jeans and a t-shirt, and commented when asked why that he felt like a chimp in the suit! lol

The autographs were done then, I had my personalised one done on a picture I had bought the previous year at his gig at Union Chapel.
He also signed the first picture (as you saw above!). Then a 90 minute break to eat.

The evening was a concert, pretty much the same playlist as the night before, but obviously we were seated. Then back to the hotel. I could go into much more detail but I have said the bare bones of the weekend.

Anyway, I better leave this for today, and feed my little munchkins!!

Round Two

OK, here goes, my second attempt at blogging and the only promise that I will at least try to keep this up!

Well it has been well over a year since I updated this my 2nd blog, the other pertaining to my crafts!

Since then, I have been to Collectormania again, and yes my hair is ginger! lol. Anyhow I met Rachel Luttrell from Stargate Atlantis, she is a really sweet woman and was totally happy to pose with anyone, although I was happy for the shot you see above!

This is me with Nathan Fillion, he makes me look tiny! I am like 5'7" and was wearing 3" heels! But he has the sexiest Texas accent! My then 14 year old daughter was with me that day, and she is like 5'1" and he made her look so tiny, be he was fantastic with her, so he now has her "undying" devotion! Well as undying as you can get as a teenager....
But although I got a Firefly pic signed I was hoping that they would have a good pic of him as Caleb in Buffy, still I understand how lucky I am to have actually met him.

This is probably my fave picture from the day (June 6th, 2009), and Ben is a real sweetie, he had no qualms about doing huggy type pictures and always had a smile on his face. A real sweet guy and at the autograph table even was talking to me about childcare being a pain when attending the conventions! Not what you would imagine talking to a sci-fi celeb with...

My daughter Catrin met Nathan as well, but as I don't have those pictures on the laptop I will have to share them at a later date, she also met Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas in Harry Potter), and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in HP).

C15 was her first signing event and apart from the miserable weather she had a real ball, and I was glad that she had a ball.

I am also still studying for my degree, although I haven't been feeling so great so I am falling seriously behind, but if I put in the time I am positive that I will catch it up soon enough, well hopefully anyhow.
