So, Chicago Comic Con Happened

[switch842]

Colin is just as lovely as y'all said he would be. So nice, so personable. I mean, he talks to you like you've been friends for years, and not a stranger he just met. I wasn't sure if I was going to try and do his autograph first or just go right to the photo op line. The doors opened at 12 and his op was at 12:45, but we got in there and there was only 1 person at this table. So, went up there got the autograph, had a little chat about the postcard thing and that was me, and yeah. He was great. So, we left and headed over for the photo op. I was literally shaking. Seriously. Shaking. Just, wow. So, then photo op, and it was great.



I look awful, but see where my hand is? Dude has got ABS. And he put it there. I didn't. LOL

We ended up going back to chat with him for a little bit and it was great. Again, super nice. Really is the kind of guy you just want to sit down over dinner and chat with for hours. Then we wandered a bit more, I got a photo op with Sean Patrick Flannery and David Della Rocca from Boondock Saints. Cos, when am I ever gonna be able to do that again?



Again, super nice guys, however brief our encounter was. Then on the way out, we swung by Colin's booth to wish him a happy birthday and thank him for being awesome and mentioned we were leaving, so we got hugs (like REAL hugs) and a kiss on the cheek. A KISS ON THE CHEEK. zs;lkjdhsdlkjghsdkjhg If I could get away with it, I would never wash my face again.

So, that was today. Tomorrow night we're going to the Train concert which is gonna be fab.

How was y'alls Friday?

You are glowing in that pic with Colin. :D

OMG, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT NECKLACE? Is that the Earth glyph?

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

It is the Earth glyph. I got it years ago at a con from a friend of a friend who made them. I wear it all the time.

Awww, isn't he adorable? At Armageddon he did a panel where he told us the funniest story about how Goran Visnjic fangirled all over him because he was Major Davis on Stargate :o)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

He's just the best ever. Totally. I wish he'd had a panel of some sort at this con, but alas no. :-( One day, though.

He did?? OMG, that's hilarious. LOL

[littleheaven70.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they were in a movie or something together and Colin was all "OMG it's Goran Visnjic" and then Goran started walking right towards him and Colin was trying to get out of his way... and Goran rushes right up to him going "OMG Major Davis!" LOL! Turns out Goran is quite the sci-fi fan :o)

Yeah, they did Elektra together. Of which, Colin is the only good thing in that movie. LOL

That's pretty hilarious when celebs geek out over things we geek out about. Awesome, but hilarious. :-)

awww. Lovely pic--I expected his hair to be long. I hope the short hair isn't a bad news thing for his character in Falling Skies. He's like my fave person on there. lol

He actually wears a wig as Pope. And, either way, I think they just started writing season 3, from little bits I've seen.... LOL

I love Pope. He's totally the best character on the show. :-)

OMG! You lucky girl! I'm so jealous right now. :D Seriously, that is awesome and great to know he is a nice guy!

He is just amazing. I honestly wish I could just sit down and have dinner with him and talk for hours about everything. He's just wonderful.
