SATURDAY
On Saturday I was accompanied by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
purplefringe and later joined by oparu and K. We cooed over stalls selling their geeky wares and also all the cosplayers. There were an absolute ton of Doctor Who cosplayers, unsurprisingly. Many more Rivers than I've seen previously, and also some fun ones like Idris, 6x07 Amy complete with a baby, Centurion Rory, Sixties Amy, a Silent, and a couple of little girls dressed up as Amelia, oh my goodness. So adorable.
Our first panel was ( Sylvester McCoy & Sophie Aldred )
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to Mark Sheppard myself as I had a clash, but this is paraphrased frompurplefringe:
( Mark Sheppard )
In the afternoon I got to see ( Brent Spiner )
And then there was Karen Gillan.
I ended up being able to get my photo taken with her and get her autograph as well as go to her talk, which involved a reasonable amount of queuing but was completely worth it. I was very nervous in the build up to the whole thing, but all my actual interaction with her was incredibly brief, just long enough to bask a little in her presence.
She was gorgeous and lovely and radiant and her smile could light up a city. And her hair really is that amazing, and her legs really do go on forever, and her beauty is pretty much overwhelming close-up.
And she smiled at me and put her arm around me and said she would read the fan letter that I gave her (essentially an extended version of 'Amy Pond is the best, you play her brilliantly, thanks for cheering me up a bunch when I was ill') and everything was beautiful.
@such_heights: All done. She is so absurdly stunning in real life. Gosh. *wanders off dreamily* :)
( photos and notes on her talk )
SUNDAY
Yesterday the main attraction was Alex Kingston, who was completely lovely and fabulous. She was also pretty much unbearably cute with small children - when I was queuing up to get an autograph a little girl ahead of me asked Alex if she'd come here in the TARDIS, so Alex leaned over the desk and responded very seriously that yes, she did. <3333
