Jo41 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I really don't know what James Marsters' secret is, but I always come away from meeting him feeling like a giddy 14 year old! And as for the photoshoot, I've never seen anyone give so much energy to it. He really does make you feel so special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvaNemesis Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 One further thing I remember about Kristine, I don't always remember things people say to me, then they come to me afterwards.. aside from being lovely, when she asked what my name was (Matt) and I told her, she smiled and said ahh! that's the name of my favourite brother-in-law! The Jason Momoa oh f**k bit when I presented the Baywatch photo to him was very memorable, I wouldn't complain if I looked like he did haha. Finally Nancy Loomis chatting to me, asking where I'd come from and being impressed with the photo taken of her and myself when I showed it to her on the camera My friend Mike went to see Katy Manning, we just hung around nearby while they were talking, she was lovely too, he was feeling a bit rough from the night before and she said something like ahh did you have a drinkey or two? lol. I think even if you're not as familiar with some of the guests or their roles, if you meet them in person and they are as nice to you as some of the ones we have met, even if it's a character you hate on the TV, you do learn to seperate the actor from the character and respect them a lot more than you did before. If you don't know who they are and you meet them with a friend who's a fan and they are so warm and friendly, they win you over anyway, I always find that. I've heard of Katy Manning, I'm not a Dr Who fan so I'm not familiar with her work, the only thing I knew about her is that she'd posed nude with some daleks (a photo of which we saw being gladly signed). But after Mike met her, I thought she was just fab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosis Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 in fact all the girls coming out had a very pink face and a dazed expression on them! lol my mate got roared at by the photographer coz she wasn't paying attention coz she was so flustered by James! we could hear him shouting and James laughing his head off - he was lovely with her though and told her to ignore him! LMAO! I think that girl was a few in front of me, unless there were more than one. "LOOK AT THE CAMERA! NOT AT JAMES!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Kronos Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Haha, I realised just as I went to collect my bags that I must've looked completely out of it when I came out. I had NO idea what to do with myself Ohhhhhh and btw i did see you working on Saturday but you always seemed to be busy(or maybe you just tried to look busy when i went past i dunno lol) so i didn't wanna stop you just to say" hi ", but anyway...when you've gathered yourself together from your James experience, drop me a line on my email addy on my profile,just want to check your aware of something and can't really discuss it on here okies.

angiebaby Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I met Adrian who I thought was a very sweet guy, Connor was great once he got over his hangover LOL, Torri is so adorable and sweet, Jason is a bit of a nutcase (but in a good way) David Nykl is one funny guy and James definatley has a way with the ladies! The highlight had to be Adrian who just blew me away by how nice he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmi Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I met TORRI HIGGINSON - So lovely! She is one awesome lady, so friendly and chatty to everyone! Great talk too. JASON MOMOA - Pretty quiet (maybe he was tired) during the day (got up to some antics at night though I heard!) but I enjoyed his talk with... DAVID NYKL - One of my all time favourite people :) He was so nice to everyone, his talk was great and he really had time for everyone. CONNOR TRINEER - Again a bit quiet, but he had Dominic to do the talking for him JAMES MARSTERS - O.M.G! Can't wait for my picture to get sent out to me!

Mr.Jones Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 All guests were really nice - highlights being Torri Higginson, Lance Henriksen and James Marsters. - He loves Cardiff!!!!! He wants to live there. Look forward to seeing him again soon. DEFINITELY for me too! Torri was the nicest, bubbliest, happiest, friendliest and all round most awesome guest I've seen since (and before) Nathan Fillion! Lance Henriksen was just so warm and really made my morning. And James Marsters... holy s***, man... I'm sure he's done it to plenty of girls over the day but he kept complimenting me on my looks/cheerleading outfit and saying stuff. I wasn't expecting him to be hot but by the time I walked away I was thinking "Dear god, look at me like that again and I'll do anything you ask" I was SHAKING. That was completely unexpected. You are such a floozie Bec! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_bond75 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 This is what i thought of the guests: Adrian Pasdar - nice but a shame he wouldn't even let me take a photo of him signing the pic Malcom McDowell - very friendly and took a bit of time to talk to me even though he was a bit rushed (understandably so) Claudia Christian - very pleasant and really took some time to talk to me, as well as letting me have a photo with her Connor Trineer - friendly and let me have a photo of him Dominic Keating - nice but a shame i couldn't have a photo Lance Henriksen - one of the best guests, very friendly and has a nice chat with me, as well as letting me have a photo with him, really listened and really seemed interested Torri Higginson - i've saved the best for last. She was lovely, taking time to have a chat with me and have a nice photo with me, as well as writing a personal message with the autograph. Despite the fact that she was very busy she still took the time to really converse with the fans Overall, i think the guests were great. If only they had all let me have photos with them it would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerj Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 The best guest that I saw was David Nykl as he was very funny and great to talk to and he even had two photos with me. Over all it was a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoe_lou Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Its probably been said I haven't look through this yet, but James Marsters was amazing this time. The photoshoot was so much fun! last time it was just an arm around the shoulders this time it was just full on hugging, and I even got a kiss. He was very talkative at his table too, we were talking about the sex pistols for a bit, he was even like, I just want to hold your hand for a bit. So much better than when he was milton keynes.

Stevie79 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I met Adrian Pasdar, Malcolm McDowell, James Marsters, Torri Higginson, and Jason Momoa. They were all great. Really nice.

sdog Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The best guest for me was Danny Webb - such a nice guy and happy to chat and pose for photos. I was really looking forward to meeting him and was not disappointed - and at just a tenner he was a real bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't win.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosis Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I'm now convinced that James is ACTUALLY a vampire. He has inhuman charm! Did anyone see him in sunlight? Edited November 19, 2007 by Psychosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Heehee, I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved that I didn't get to meet James now. I'd probably have made a complete twit of myself if he'd tried some of that stuff on me! I mainly went to see Adrian Pasdar and he was lovely. It was quite hard to get a conversation going (I wonder if he's a bit shy unless he's in familiar company as I'm very like that and damn, it's so hard when you're drooling and all that), but he actually called out to me with afterthought comments both times I visited him (oh, the love!). And in the photo session - dear lord... *thud* I wish I'd been able to talk to Lance Henriksen as well as I think he's a great actor, but I'm afraid I dried. He gave me such a sweet smile, though. Quite possibly my favourite convention ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosis Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Lance was wonderful! I was talking to him about the most random of stuff, none of which I actually remember now except for us talking about my photos with him. He's one of my favourites I'm was SO happy when I walked away. He even drew "Bec + Lance : )" in a heart, LMAO! So cute. And I have to second that - Sunday at Gmex was my favourite con day EVER. Busy enough to make it a nice atmosphere but quiet enough to give me some great and very chatty moments with the guests.

natfrog5 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 . And James Marsters... holy s***, man...

Soo glad it wasnt just me!! I came out of that photoshoot shaking and spazzing just a bit too much!!! He pulled me sooo close for a hug and said "I was hoping you'd be in the photoshoot line" or something like that......I nearly died on the spot!!! It's way he just looks right into your eyes. For that coupla seconds it's like you're the only 2 people in the world. *swoon lol* Torri was just the nicest person I've ever met. Jason is an absolute nutter (don't trust him with a pen knife!!)! Was fab to meet Adrian is less hectic circumstances. Such a lovely guy. David Nykl, Connor Trineer and Danny Dyer also deserve a special mention <3 All in all was an awesome weekend! xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terihatcherfan Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 By about 3pm on Saturday I was sat at the side of the hall opening a box of trading cards I bought on one of the stalls. A tall, dark, sexy (I'm getting carried away here but I can't help it) man came up to me and just kinda staed at me. I stared right back at him, in a , "Err, hello random?" way, and then he smiled and said hey. I was like, "Um, hello." He asked me if I'd pulled anything good, and I was like, "Yeah, a Vinnie Jones autograph which is cool." He said, "Vinnie Jones, nice one man. Good luck, see ya later." I was like, "Ok... um, bye." When I looked up at the big photo billboards of the guests hanging above the autograph tables, I realised it was Jason Mamoa. Melt! I need to start watching Stargate now. Haha! Other than my random and accidental conversation with sexy Stargate man, I met Adrian Pasdar who was a proper gentleman. So, so nice in the photoshoot, and when I went to go and get his autograph he remembered me. He instigated a hand shake which I thought was really polite and shows how down to earth and happy to meet fans he is. A HUGE thank you goes out to Showmasters for getting such lovely guests, Adrian in particular, and for putting on a truly fab show this weekend. Cheers guys!

Hobbit_of_Dorsetshire Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Malcolm McDowell aka Mr "badass" linderman/Alex de large called me darling nice man wish i asked him a question but the guy sitting next to him told me to HURRY.b*****d You do not specify which day this happened, but I was Malcolm's assistant at the table on Sunday. If that was when you met Malcolm, I can assure you that I would have said nothing of the sort. Malcolm was consistently busy and also his time was limited, as he had to leave at 4pm prompt. While he was talking to attendees, I called the next person forward in order to check how many autographs they were getting, and the correct order of dedications in cases where some were buying for absent friends. I certainly do not recall this incident, and Malcolm made a point to speak with each attendee. HoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
