James Marsters has a heart of gold. Truly a sweet man with such a good heart. He's honest, polite, funny, and he treats you like a human being not a means of obtaining cash!

First I went to the Q&A session with James which was a blast. The questions people asked were great and 99% of his responses were hilarious. Just to clarify...he does NOT like Twilight! He said vampires do not sparkle, and they dont go around saving people left and right without killing anyone. In his words he said "I don't get it". Haha.

Also he said that he didnt understand how his chip could have worked in S4 of Buffy since he was dead and had no brain activity..and he said he thought that it was basically dragged on for far too long and he gave Joss some really good ideas but they got turned down!

I met James the first time when I got a professional photo taken with him [I will post the photo in a few days]. He was very sweet. I told him how much I loved Buffy and I thought he was so amazing in the show and he said thank you and told me he really enjoyed doing the show.

A few hours later I met James again. This time I met him for an autograph. He signed my 2010 BTVS calendar. He told me the photo of him in the calendar was the first photo that was taken of him in his role as "Spike". I then told him that I have been a fan of Buffy since 1996 when the show first aired and his jaw practically dropped to the floor! He was like wow thats amazing! I take it he hasnt heard anyone say that in a LONG time.

He then told me that he loved doing Buffy but he didnt really like Season 7 because he thought it was too serious. He missed the comedy and the connection between the characters from the earlier seasons. He was just so nice and sincere and such a sweetheart. He shook my hand twice and he looked into my eyes the entire time he was talking to me! He even stopped writing on my calendar so he could talk to me..and out of all the people in line..he talked to me the longest. He was carrying on a conversation with me like there wasnt a huge line behind me! it was amazing..I was speechless!! haha.

Also, Before I got my calendar signed, a woman from the local paper asked me where I'm from and when I told her about 20 minutes down the road, she asked me if she could take photos of me getting my calendar signed by James! She then told me that hopefully they will be printed in the paper!!!

This was the best day EVER!

I also bought many items at the convention for realllllly cheap!

Angelus/Liam bust: $20
Human Spike Bust: $35
6" Figures of Darla from Angel,Darla from S1,and Demon Anyanka 3 for $10

I feel so lucky to have met him and I wanted to share my experience with you! Some friends of mine took some photos of me getting my calendar signed. I will post them once he emails them to me! 🙂

I'm jealous! :p
That's awesome. I really loved James, when I met him. In all honesty I didn't think he'd be all that nice, due to the amount of people wanting to see him, and his back injury; but he was truly such a nice person. He really is amazing. 🙂 Sounds like you had fun, which I'm glad to hear.
 
Ahh, I'm so jealous! I meant to go to DragonCon to meet him, but I was unable to. 🙁 He sounds like an amazing guy.
 
Wow, lucky girl! Sounds like a great time. Which convention was this at??

That's interesting that he felt Season 7 was too "serious." Wasn't that the complete opposite of the point of that season? After the dark nature of Season 6, they wanted to go back to the shows "lighter" roots (which they did, with the campy episodes like "Him" and "Storyteller").
 
Aww I love James so much <3
I'm glad you had such a good time! 🙂 From all the vids I've seen of him at conventions, I couldn't agree with you more about him being a great person, and extremely funny ;D I can't wait until February 😀
 
aww, glad you got to meet him, he is so nice, yeah he said in one of his talks that he liked playing comedy instead of serious spike (with his soul)
he said it's so much easier doing comedy, and he even slagged P.s I love you. HA.
I have a photo op with him too, but i don't like the pic. My hair was so damp from the rain .lol
 
As far as Season 7 goes and James' thoughts on it, I know that being part of the show and watching it are two different things. Also, You have to take into account that Season 7 has completely different overtones and undertones than the rest of the show.

To those who want to know where I was when I met him, I was at the Super Megafest at the Sheraton hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts. 🙂

Thank you to all of you for your kind words! To those who have not met James yet, I hope you do in the future. It is definatly worth it! After meeting him, I now know for a fact that I have NO problem supporting James and his career. Someone with such a good heart deserves a fanbase. 🙂
 
You lucky ducky! I am so jealous! Lol it must have been great!
Maybe I'll run into him next time I'm in Massachusetts. 😀
 
Holy crap! I love that professional photo, haha. So cute. I am insanely jealous now that I see all of these pictures.

It makes me so happy that some cast members of Buffy are still interested in seeing their fans!
 
How wonderful. It is so refershing to know that not all actors are so full of themselves that they forget why they are famous. Kudos for remembering the fans James!
 
Here are the photos my friend took of James and me getting my calendar signed by him! His photos came out SO much better than mine! Enjoy!

You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!! You are insanely lucky! I'm glad to hear that he lived up to your (and our) expectations!!! I love James Marsters. Maybe someday I will meet him too.....a girl can dream. :magic:
 
Once sat in on his Q&A panel at a past Fangoria Convention.

Marsters was quite warm and engaging, definitely a "people" person. It was back in 2007, not long after he appeared on Smallville.

He talked about how much fun that was, along with his time on BTVS/Angel.
 
He was just so nice and sincere and such a sweetheart. He shook my hand twice and he looked into my eyes the entire time he was talking to me! He even stopped writing on my calendar so he could talk to me..and out of all the people in line..he talked to me the longest.
