We just got back from our last con day and: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stuff happened that I barely believe happened... it was so insanely awesome and cool and just: WAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, to start from the beginning:
Today started with the panel of Dominic Keating (ENT), but I had to leave half way to get into Katee Sackoff's (BSG) line for an autograph. Which was a shame, because the man was hilarious. After getting my autograph I joined my friends who were in Torri's line.
Torri was completely awesome as the day before I had asked her if I could put a couple of Atlantis Rising cards on her table and she agreed and today they were still there. She had put them back again, so people could take them *hugs her*
We talked a bit about her online presence, and she said she'd like to get an official website, but didn't really know how to get started with it. So I saw my chance and said that I'm a webmaster and could do her website. She agreed and asked me for my email so she could contact me *flails* I'm getting to do Torri's WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *flails some more*
Anyway, after getting my photo-op signed, I went back to the room where the panels were taking place and I watched the end of Catherine Hicks' panel and scored some awesome seats for the BSG panels and after that the Torri panel.
Torri was funny and hilarious and entertaining as always.
One of the questions was: What were the best qualities of your fellow actors on SGA?
Her answer: Rachel has a good heart. David has intellect. Joe has his wife. Just kidding. He has a wry sense of humor. Jason... well... all women and some men know what his qualities are. Paul is everyone's best friend. It's sorta like they characters.
Someone asked what her fav bad guy in Stargate was.
Her answer: Ba'al. He was so deliciously evil. But she also loved the Wraith and she's certain they started the vampire myth. She also loved Evil Weir, but never got tptb to use that idea.
Some things she said:
- She didn't want to come back for S5 because she didn't like the vagueness around her character and she wanted closure for Elizabeth.
- They were also frustrated that they didn't get to show any emotion over Caron's dead in the episodes following 'Sunday'.
- Happiest moment from SG is meeting the fans and still being appreciated after all these years. And she rather does fan-run cons than official ones because they are all about the money and not about the fans.
After her panel I ran to the bar to see the second half of the soccer game. The bar was filled, but there was a tv outside and for a moment I was standing there alone as the others had gone out for a smoke. Just minutes later I was joined by Torri who stood next to me and together we cheered for Spain (as did the others actors that were in the bar) A while later the others returned from their smoke. And you know, it's amazing how many geeks suddenly want to watch soccer when the actors are interested in it.
After Spain won and we all did a silly little happy dance, Torri had to go to her autograph session and we followed.
But can you believe that? We watched the frakking WC final with Torri!!!!!
Anyway, when we got to her, I asked her if she would like to have a drink with us after the con. And she agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *diez*
So a while later, we met up in the bar and the six of us talked for almost two hours straight about everything, anything and nothing. It was awesome. I also got to tell her about John's woobie face every time Elizabeth's name was mentioned in s4 and s5 and the next time she sees Joe, she's going to hug him for doing that
A lot was said and a lot was discussed and yes, it was one of the best nights I ever had.
I know I'm forgetting a lot, but I'm still in a ruse
Pics and maybe more details will follow later

AAAAHHHHHH!!!! OMG, KRIS! That is totally amazing! Damn, Torri is just so frakkin' COOL!
And once again, I am very much bummed out that I couldn't go this year.
Hmm, if Torri goes to Shore Leave next year, is anyone up for a reunion? 'Cause damnit, I wanna go too! (And it sounds like that'll be my only chance at seeing her at a con, since she doesn't do the official ones... there goes my dreams for a Joe & Torri photo op! )
