Woah I didn't know he could speak Spanish! Haha Maybe he should give me some lessons xD it's so long since I didn't speak any Spanish... since I finished school xD
Here's my "little" summary of my meeting with Dean Cain. Well, little... a big one ok XD
Summary of my second meeting with Dean Cain at LFCC 2017. My first being in Birmingham at Collectormania 24 in June. I thoughy he was adorable (as I wrote down in the fanbook that I gave him). After this weekend he’s adorable X1000.
Saturday, 29th July.
This day I only went to his talk between 5:05 and 5:30. I was at the second row in front and was the one who asked everybody if we could sing Happy birthday to him. One of my best ideas yet. I’m been harbouring this idea for about 2 weeks before the comic con. I could not wait to put it into practice.
Sunday, 30th July.
Today after 12:30pm I went to see him to get his autograph. I was already smiling inside of me knowing that soon he would be holding the fanbook that I’m been making since the beginning of the month since I saw he was announced. I could not wait to see his reaction.
When it was my turn in the queue and I stopped in front of him, Dean recognized me straight away from the day before at his talk. He asked if I was the one who ask to sing Happy birthday for his birthday. When I said yes he thanked me again and even gave me a handshake.
Then, I gave him one of my two photoshoots from Birmingham to sign (which he loved) and asked for my name. I saw that he didn’t know how to write it. (It’s Aurora but with French pronunciation and spelling). I said “I knew I needed a paper” and the assistant next to him gave me a paper so I can write my name on it.
After he finished my autograph, I said: “I’ve got something for you here to which other fans have contributed as well.” I showed him the fanbook. He must have been very surprised but was very happy by it because after he went through the fanbook a bit he stood up and I gave me a hug.
I asked if I could have a photo of him with the book and while I was seeing a blue shirt about to tell me “no posed photo allowed” Dean had already accepted and stoop up so the man didn’t say anything.
After I got my photo, I told him see you later for the photo and then saying good bye I got another hug. He saw that Lily was sleeping (my daughter) in the stroller and I said that she’ll probably be awake later for the photo.
However she wasn’t because as I was leaving the table, I realized only ten minutes later that it was already 12pm – time for the photoshoot. I ran to shoot area A.
--------
At the photoshoot I said hello again and I presented him a small cake with a candle on it (kind of a chocolate muffin) that I bought just the day before at around 9pm. Then I said:
“Remember yesterday when the man said after we sang happy birthday that we all should bring you a cake?”
“So you brought the cake?”
“Yes!”
The photographer was waiting to take his photo so we took place. And I said again: “Could you pretend to blow it?” which he did. After the photo was taken, he wanted to give me the cake back so I said: “No, it’s for you”. He thanked me and because he still had photoshoots to do he temporarily gave the cake to a blue shirt assistant nearby. Then I left the shoot area.
---------
The second time I went to Dean’s autographs table was a little before 2pm because I wanted to tell him good bye. (As he was leaving by 2.30). Near the table I met a friend who was just passing by and I told her I was waiting here because I wanted to go and say good bye to Dean when he was going to leave. She didn’t know he was leaving so early today so I showed her on the showmasters website and here it was. She then said she had to tell a friend to come quickly over here if she wanted to get an autograph. I then waited for her and when she arrived she told me I could accompany her and we joined the queue.
I was just staying slightly on the right side (with an excellent view in front of me – right in front of Dean who was just signing autographs –) but I wasn’t expecting what followed! At one time when one person left, he noticed me in the line and recognizing me he gave me this big wide smile and waved at me hello. I couldn’t believe my eyes and was jumping all around inside of me.
“oh my god! He just waved at me!” and jokingly (of course) I was saying “haha it’s like we’re old friends now! All the effect of the fanbook and the song!” Clearly that little birthday present made him very happy!
Later on while we were at the table, I showed my friend on the left, said “It’s not for me. I just came to say good bye.” Even though now I’m thinking about it I could have bought a second autograph as I could not get James & Oliver Phelps ‘ autograph on Saturday so I still had £60 in my pulse... shxt, now I’m going to regret it until I meet Dean again...
I let him do his autograph then I remembered something I intended to ask before but forgot the first time. The French biscuits I gave him in Birmingham. So I asked and he said he ate them all and liked them! (I do hope he kept the lovely box though!!). Also, this time Lily was awake so he told her hi too but as I remembered I think she was too busy watching a video on my phone.
Jokingly I asked him if he didn’t lose the fanbook and he said no while showing behind him on the floor where his suitcase must have been too (seeing as he took a plane back to the US on the same day. Cf. Instagram).
Then it was time to say good bye and I wished him to enjoy his birthday tomorrow and to have a good flight back to the US. I got a Super Good bye hug but my friend made me understand she didn’t have time to take a photo so I said to Dean: “She wants to take the hug in photo.” So as adorable as he is I had a second “Super” hug!! This time, there was no blue t-shirt guy to remind me “no posed photo” so it was all good... Well, technically, it was not a selfie!
BEST DAY and BEST ENCOUNTER EVER. Already in Birmingham my first impression was good. “He’s adorable!” I kept repeating for days afterwards to everyone. But after this weekend, he’s Super Super Adorable!
Please Showmasters, invite Dean Cain again next year!!! ... and with Teri if she can. That is my next life goal. Having my photo taken with the both of them. I SO love Lois & Clark show even today 20 years after. They’re just perfect cast for their characters. Please, please, please.
