I've seen the Snoopy dance, live!

[suki_blue]

Under the cut are just a few pics out of the hundreds (literally) I took at this weekend's Hallowhedon Convention. I will do a report and link back later this evening.



I so need a longer and better quality lens. I also need a lottery win.



Poor James couldn't sit down because of an injured spine. He was in agony, but he he stayed all weekend. My love for this man has grown yet another notch.





















Nicky was great with Mercedes. At one point he asked her continuous questions about her boyfriend and where she lived and what her boyfriend did for a living and so on. It was hilarious.









No, I wasn't lying. Nicky really did the Snoopy dance! That was a highlight for me. And before he did it, he made a real show of emptying out his pockets. Fucking funny.



At certain points Nicky kept moving his chair away from Mercedes (I totally forget the reasons), and it turned into a joke that the moving of the chair represented time left and the talk would be over when the chair reached the end of the stage. When Paul (Fuck off, Paul! [Hub 2 in-joke]) tried to end the session Nicky insisted there was time left and promptly move the chair to the end of the stage, sat in it, and waited patiently for the question. Oh, Nicky, I love you.



Mark Lutz who played played Groo in Ats and James Leary who played Clem in Btvs. These two were hilarious together. Another con highlight for me was their combined Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions.



Mark is incredibly funny and quick and gorgeous. Crush alert!

















Repeat performance of the Snoopy dance and pocket-emptying. I could honestly watch him do it all day. Dance, monkey, dance!





The talk with Mercedes and James Leary had a few really funny moments, but mostly it was awkward as hell. James was very unwell (self-inflicted, I believe) and Mercedes was not willing to expand her answers. It was strained and I was glad when it was over.



















Verdict: James Marsters is my hero, because I can't think of anyone else that would still attend a convention when they were in as much pain as he was. Nicky rocked even more than I thought he would. Mark Lutz is a very funny man and I would pay good money to see him again. The con was a screaming success and I will consider going to the next one.

Thanks so much for sharing your pics, Suki. I'm glad you had such a wonderful time.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! It was brilliant.

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

I so agree with your verdict. Deciding to follow James all those years ago has never come back to bite because he's always a darling, respectful of the fans and truly worth liking. No matter what fandom one follows, James is always James and we can point and say, "I admire and like that man."

Love Nicky and Mark! They pinged off one another so well, it was hard to keep in the tears of laughter. *g*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

He's one of the best people to follow. He does his best to make his fans happy!

[sueworld2003.livejournal.com]

Oh brilliant photos! This all looks like it was so much fun (except for poor wee Jimmy who looks like he was in a fair bit of pain). I wish I'd been able to go.

Love you shots of Bick doing his dance. *g*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Poor James! We really felt sorry for him and I told him he didn't look like he should be there, and he replied that neither did his doctor!

I felt honoured to see the Snoopy dance. Aww.

Hallowhedon pics!!!

Looks awesome, you got some really good pics. You saw the Snoopy Dance he he he!!!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

The Snoopy dance was one of the best bits! He had us all in hysterics! Wish you could have been there.

[sweet-exile.livejournal.com]

If I wasn't skint I so would have been there.

[ningloreth.livejournal.com]

Glad you had such a good time! Your photos really give us a glimpse of the atmosphere.

And James's turning up even though he was injured just shows what a decent guy he is.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

It was all great fun. Nicky was awesome and so funny and James was outstanding -- he did so much for us and he really didn't have to.

[lelaina-c.livejournal.com]

Brilliant pics! Damn, NB looks good these days. James will always be my favourite. Glad you had such a fabulous time. :)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

NB def looked fantastic! I felt nice too! Hee!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Damn! PB says 'bandwidth exceeded' on all pics. I'll come back tomorrow and take a peek.

Glad you're back, darlin'! It's my turn to be absent this weekend (off to Horbling, yay!), so you get to keep Lit under control and out of mischief. ;)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Whoops! I've had to upgrade to the pro account now so pics are back.

Keep Lit out of mischief?? You know what happened last time you turned your back and I encouraged her. ~cough~ Morgan ~cough~

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

*siiiiiiiiigh*

Could you at least work on her with Slade/Dick? I really can't be fending off another pairing this year, not after adding so many new ones already. *g*

It's only three days! I'm off on Friday and back on Monday and I will be texting her to make sure you're both behaving yourselves! :P

*runs to see pics*

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'll give it a go! Everyone should love Slade/Dick!

It's only three days! I'm off on Friday and back on Monday and I will be texting her to make sure you're both behaving yourselves! :P

Hee! We give no guarantees!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Bootiful piccies! James is a real trooper, and Nicks looks so fit and happy. ♥♥♥

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Nicky was great! He was gorgeous and bouncy.

[treadingthedark.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for sharing your pics. I especially loved your captions that you put with them. It was fun to read. Great stuff.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed them.

[laazikaat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, luv for your marvelous generosity. You could sit back and enjoy these conventions for yourself but you go to so much trouble to make sure the rest of us get to experience all the fun too. I appreciate it so much. And poor James, the pain shows in his eyes in those photos. He's amazing. Thank you for all your hard work.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You're so very welcome. It's fun to put up a few pics and talk about the weekend. I just wish I had a better memory!

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for sharing these great pics and your comments on them.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

No problem. You're very welcome, :o)

[beloved4always.livejournal.com]

thanks so much for posting your pics and your report! Sounds like a great con.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. It was a fantastic weekend. The con was well organised and the guests mostly all approachable and funny.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing these...

can you expand on that joke with Mercedes and her boyfriend... as I read this Nicholas is said boyfriend? - sorry, I may be thick, but I snuck in to see James Marsters :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I'm not sure who her boyfriend is other than he works in realesate and they live at Pacific Heights. Nicky was just grilling her about it, like he was doing an interview.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

thanks for clarifying that... I could have embarrassed myself with that one somewhere I'm sure :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[vinniebatman.livejournal.com]

Hee, awesome. I saw Nicky's smile and I just melted. Ahh... Xander, I love you. And you saw the snoopy dance, lucky lass. Poor James, though. He doth rock immensely.

I'm glad you had such a good time.

James M was amazing this weekend but seeing him signing auto's laid on a table nearly made me sob uncontrollably :( at one point, we did a guest encounter with Nick and my friend thought she left something in the room, just before the last group guest talk...we went upstairs to look in room, she went inside, and all the guests came out the room opposite, I smiled at James M and he could barely smile back, clinging onto Steve's shoulder, and hobbling down the stairs one at a time :( soo sad, Steve asked if he wanted to go straight back to the hotel after and he just nodded like a little puppy

but...Nick Brendon is my new mega crush! Zomg he is HOT! and so funny, laid back and approachable, he so better come next year or I'ma hunt him down :P

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Poor James. It's amazing that he was in that much pain yet he still attended for the entire weekend. That was way above and beyond. I was very disappointed when he couldn't attend The Hub, but then when I saw him at Hallowhedon I realised how lucky we were to see him at all!

I love Nicky so much.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

The ticket price was worth it for the Snoopy dance ALONE. It was that good!

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Lovely photos! Thank you for posting them.
You have to put more of your lively comments, though!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL, thanks! I normally would have done more commentary but I was so exhausted :oD
