As you all might know, Cangel and I went to a fantasy festival/fair thingy yesterday, and there were a whole bunch of people in funky costumes, LARPers, all kinds of little shops in tents, and James Marsters. We spend a whole bunch of money for a picture and an autograph, but he was amazing. He was seriously nice and polite, like, he really tried to say something personal to all the people who came for an autograph and stuff. His eyes are REALLY that blue, his smile is REALLY that cheeky. His hands are very soft. Also, he was totally HOT (sw)

And he said I have a nice smile. Me, having a serious case of dancing intestines, couldn't say anything but "hmmmngph". But he insisted and I managed to say something along the lines of Thank you, have a nice day. To Cangel, who got her calendar signed, he told a nice Buffy fun fact, about the scene where he was being tortured by the First, up on that cross (which really didn't hurt all that much). He said that then, finally, after 7 years, he had Sarah (who is really nice) wrapped around his finger. Because when he was finally up there, she *suddenly* had to go to the bathroom and stayed away for 20 minutes or so, while he was hanging there the whole time.

Ah, it was all over so quickly. But luckily, we have got the pictures to prove it!

And then some pictures to get a nice idea of the whole place there:

The really nice merchandise lady:

Just some people waiting for their chance to get a photo with JM:

Cangel with the castle (and some green stuff):

Yours truly with a bit of castle:

Another bit of castle (The VIP tents were in the courtyard, but the whole fair was everywhere around the castle and in the gardens. There seriously couldn't be a better place in the Netherlands for a fantasy fair):

Anyway, right now I'm still a bit unable to give a detailed, chronological account of what all happened. Bottom line is, anyway, I met my first actual celebrity, I met my first Buffyverse person, I met my favourite Buffyverse person and I've really helped my six degrees of separation thing all in one go!

I might not be the one most jealous person on the boards about this but I am happy for you two.
Ahhhh, SARA! I wanted to share the fun fact story 🙁
Plus, I told you not to post that photo of me with the stormtrooper guy, I like totally stupid in there 😛

Well...besides that...it was AWESOME to meet JM. We were both so very hyper excited (I actually started hyperventilating shortly before we first met him, haha), and after we had taken the pictures we were just screaming in a very squeaky voice, fan girl style (sw)
And James Marsters was really awesome...Sara and me both shook his hand a total of 4 times (sw)
Uh, and I spelled my name out to him 😀

Now I'm really broke again (entry fee for the whole fair thing + train money + picture&autograph money = around 80 Euros) and for the next 3 weeks I might have to live off canned soup again, but it was totally worth it 😀

What I said above. I'm just too lazy to write it again. ;)
Psssh, shut up Kristine! You look great in all the pics! You both do! You bitches. I'm soo jealous, it looks like a proper fun day out, James Marsters included.. ARGHH!!

I wish you had told him about the Buffy-Boards and how we are all totally demented for BTVS.
 
Wow! /me is jealous. (sw) I think I kind of hate you now. 😛

But really, you guys look like you really enjoyed yourself. 😀
 
ARGHGHGHGH SO jealous!
and a little sad..he's starting to look his age!
BUT GAH i would have given my left arm to see that man.
I hate you with love 😉

If you gave your eyeballs, how would you be able to see him?
Those photos are great- I have to say I love the photos of you two with your late night stormtrooper pal, it just looks great, haha. And it looks like you guys had a fantastic day!
 
Funny story. Sara and I were actually talking about if you would be there (since you're Dutch, which means it's kinda close by).
What time were you there?

Een uur 😀 Maar ik dacht dat hij daar wel een tijdje stond en ik kon de tijden niet vinden. Bleken die gewoon bij het standje te staan
 
Great pix! 😀
Though events with excessive costumes give me the hives.
 
GAH! I am so jealous!

You guys look like you had a great time although I am slightly disappointed that you didn't get a picture of him holding an "I <3 BB" sign!
 
I am sooooo jealous of both of you right now. You guys are my heros. 😀
WHOA @ all the peeps in costumes. This is why I could never do any kind of Comicon, renaissance fair, etc. I get all freaked out when there are that many grown people dressed up like it's Halloween. LOL
 
James...Marsters...
*Dies of jealousy*
No fair. I have to wait 'til October. D=
You're soooooooooo lucky. Lovely pictures. 🙂
 
WooohooO! Elf fantasy fair totally rocked!
I go there every year!
And your pics are soooooooo cool!
I'll link to my flickr after I posted 15 messages which should be easy 😉
 
OMG, how much did he make you pay for a photo and an autograph ?! I think that's terrible, making people pay for that...

I don't really care about James Marsters, but I'm glad for you both =) I know I would be ecstatic if I were to met Amy Acker or Alyson Hannigan !
