So, this year I was originally slated to attend 8 cons.

Cleveland WW was cancelled due to weather. I did go to Sherlocked. Star Trek in June was cancelled because Karl Urban cancelled and Colm Meaney was appearing too late on Sunday evening (my flight home was at the same time and would have cost $400 to change).

I went to Shore Leave and Stargate Chicago. I did not go to WW Chicago because Matt Ryan and Arthur Darville cancelled :(

Dragon Con is coming up this weekend. Really looking forward to seeing John Noble, Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie from Sleepy Hollow, as well as my favorite person, DAVID HEWLETT :D

Then, more disappointment, because Colm Meaney cancelled his appearance at WW Pittsburgh....

However!!!

They added Mitch Pileggi and David Duchovny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, this is the best news :D I can't wait!

And in October, it's off to London to see Benedict in Hamlet (twice), Mark Gatiss in Two Days in the Country, and John Finnemore's Souvenir Cabin!! Also Madame Tussauds, London Eye, Speedy's and Stonehenge are on the must do list. And the National Gallery to see any Van Gogh they have, and the Celtic exhibit at the British Museum.

P.S. So happy with the Cumberbaby info: Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch, born 6/1/15 \o/ LOVE the alliteration, the use of Ben and his dad's middle name, and the connection Christopher has to Ben's career. Perfect choice :)

This is my favorite time of year. Football season is underway, hockey is not far behind, the weather is perfect.

I am still working on home renovation. Finally got a decent quote for flooring, now I just have to find time to have it installed, lol. Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanity are next on the list.

So, what are you all up to?!

But the Steelers look awful :/

It's going to be a long season.

I found out today that Anthony Curran is going to be at Dragon Con. And I'm not going this year :/

The new job is going mostly well. There are some frustrating aspects and this week has been full of them. I know it will be better with time but I hate not knowing exactly what I'm doing.

And I know it's for a good cause, but I am so sick of the ice bucket challenge, I can't even!! lol

Ok, time for bed I think.

Looking forward to the season premiere of Dr. Who, even tho I already miss 11....

The rest are here

They just announced Manu Bennet for Dragon Con.

Today I see these AWESOME GUYS are going to be there!

Graham McTavish, Dwalin:



William Kircher, Bifur:

I can't wait!!!

All I want today is a Pen's win.

LET'S GO PENS!!

Also, Eve Myles was added to D*C.  Kai Owen is on the guest list.

OMG, could we get John Barrowman there?  Could we have some Torchwood panels?!  I WOULD DIE!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

I just booked a room at the Sheraton for 8/31/2012 - 9/3/2012 (3 nights).

Guess I'm going to D*C!

:D

Also pretty sure I'm going to LA in November. 3 cons for the price of one gold ticket, that's hard to pass up!

PICSPAM!!( A selection of shots from D*C 2011 )

The whole album can be found HERE

Take, enjoy! :D

Thank the gods, D*C is imminent!!! Roomies already checked in to the Hyatt. I leave tomorrow at 6 am.

No sleep thanks to the Steeler game tonight. GO STEELERS \o/

Also, to console myself because I don't get to see JFlan this weekend (lmao) I just bought a photo op for the Mid Ohio Comic Con next month, with Billy Dee Williams.

I mean, c'mon, it's LANDO!!!

Totally awesome. As is this Blue Moon I'm drinking :D

Hopefully I will have pics and reports from D*C next week.

\o/ Michael Rosenbaum, Amanda Tapping, David Nykl, and CHRIS HEYERDAHL!!!

Well.

I'm beginning to understand why people complain about Froggy.

I just got my photo op ticket for JOE FLANIGAN.

He cancelled, and I requested a refund a week ago.

WTF?!

How can they not know that he cancelled? He's not even on the photo op schedule. MORONS.

I emailed them but will probably not get a response.

And I did not get a photo op ticket for Lance Henriksen. Idiots.

Is it too much to ask that ANYONE do their jobs correctly? JFC.

I'll probably never see that money again.
