Wow! I'm impressed you guys have met so many of them! Does anyone know if the cast still goes to Comic-Con in Cali? I've always wanted to go but assumed they arn't there for Buffy anylonger.
I will be meeting James Marsters & Juliet Landau in September and then James again in October in Paris! I cant even explain how excited i am!
Would love to meet all of the other cast members too, i should have started going to cons earlier! doh!
=D
Has anybody ever met Sarah Michelle Gellar or Alyson Hannigan? How was that?
Its a con in the UK called the Vampire Ball (3). I wanna do costumes! haha! Its a 3 day con and on the first night there is a Sunnydale High Prom! yey! It says costumes are optional hehe!
Costumes are so much fun when you're in a place where people will recognize what you're doing (The Vampire Ball, Sunnydale High Prom especially, is definitely that place)! Though it may not be the thing to do if you're shy... People ask to take your picture / take pictures with you! The actors also seem genuinely honored when you cosplay their characters, and genuinely impressed when you cosplay them WELL (We've even had an actress ask for OUR picture). 🙂 It's a whole different experience in costume.
oh wow! what is your costume choice? i would love to do it but i am pretty shy haha, but you only live once and its not everyday you get to spend a weekend with other Buffy fans so i say - embrace it and enjoy it =D especially the dressing up!
wowzers! Go MistressPointy & MrPointy! haha. do you have your pictures on here at all?
Well, me and my sister are going so im not too sure yet, I would need to try and get her onboard with the whole cosplay thing. As Juliet Landau is going to be there, Dru would be awesome! My sis actually looks quite like SMG (so lucky) so all she would need to do is carry a stake and there is Buffy!
Let the con cosplay con commence! 😀
We've dressed as vampire Spike and Harmony (lumpies, fangs and all! Mercedes asked for our photo!)!
I saw a couple dressed as vamp Harmnony and Spike last year at Dragon*Con. It was day 1 and it being my first con, I didn't want to ask them to take a picture but the costumes were incredible. I actually ran into Harmony in the restroom and was surprised, then walked out to see Spike standing there waiting while holding a giant stuffed unicorn! It was so hilarious and awesome haha.
I can't wait for them to announce more guests for this years D*C. *crosses fingers for lots of Jossverse people* So far I've seen Jane Espenson, J. August Richards, and Adam Baldwin on the list. I also heard Amber Benson was going, but she isn't on the main list yet.
I'm curious for people who have been to conventions. Do you usually get to talk to the cast/take a picture or is it just a quick few seconds with a "hey, how are ya" and an autograph? I've always wanted to go to a convention but I would have to pay at least $600 plane tix, hotels, plus the $40+ for the convention pass. I don't have enough money now but I'm just wondering if it's worth it.
The closest I came was when I paid $250 for a private concert with James Marsters. He had to cancel because he was filming a pilot so I got refunded and ended up not going but that seemed worth it since it was just a few people in a small concert setting.
