Happen to know how much Billy Boyd was, a friends asked me to get his.

Did The Trio sign together or seperatly?

Im going tomorrow, looking forward to it.

Billy Boyd was I think £15 pound.

And the Trio don't sign anything seperately and they were £20 quid each too and I don't think they pose for pictures either. Cos of the prices I didn't get there autograph but apparently the guy who plays Andrew is not too bright so if you have any difficult names to spell you better write them down before hand.
 
I went!!! I'm gonna post what I posted in my online journal as I've already wrote this out like 5 times.

I met Tom Lenk first. He's just so nice, quiet but nice. I wasn't allowed to use my digital camera to have photo with him for some reason. According to the man standing with him it had to be a "Quick Snap" camera. But he's a really nice guy.

I apologise if they are not very clear.

Then I met Nick Brendon He didn't say much but again, he was nice and smiled. I was a little disoppointed but I know they had to carry things on quickly as the queue behind me was HUGE!

****. I'm just so happy.

Later I went to the party for the convention and I saw Adam Busch's band "Common Rotation" LIVE!! They played for like an hour and they were so AWSOME!! They did signings of thier album but I couldn't get it as I'd spent all my money on drinks.

Both Tom Lenk and Danny Strong were there too. Danny Strong is so funny and SMALLER then he seems on TV but alot cuter [and it's werid]
 
Got there a bit late (being the bright spark I am I forgot to find out *where* it was so I got to Milton Keynes and was like "ah..."

Anyway. I went straight to the information thing to book my Buffy talk ticket, then onto Nick. Thankfully he had an open queue (meaning I didn't have to get a ticket and come back later). Managed to take a photo while he was signing, they said no flashes but I didn't know how to turn it off.

First thing I noticed, he seems thinner which is a good sign (presuming the weight was booze related) and had short hair. Plus he had a real American accent but seemed normal later at the talk.

Tom, Danny (who seemed chubbier to me then I expected) and Adam (first reaction, "woah, beard") were next to him but £20 each for an autograph, I passed.

Anyway wondered around for a bit and bought and fancy frame for the autograph, here is the end result.

(Notice how he wrote, "Ash, Olé, Nick Brendon" Odd.)

Anyway went to the talk which filled up super quick. Got there at 12:45, started at 1:30. There was a mildly amusing man to entertain us though.

The talk was cool, Tom, Danny and Adam came on first for about half an hour. They seemed okay, Adam a bit quiet. Were asked usual stuff about what was it like working with each other, would they want to do it again, etc etc etc. Was a huge round of applause when Danny said he wants Bush out of office.

Anyway they went and Nick came on, which is who I was waiting for. He was cool, usual funny self. He did the snoppy dance!!! Tried to video it but by the time my camera changed modes I only got 2 seconds, bit of a shame but fun none the less. Answered the usual questions. He said the Buffy Animated is still in the air yet but a presentation has been made. Someone asked him if he'd spoken to Riff Regan (the original Willow) and he said no but Sarah was at a party a few years ago and Riff was working there, bit rough on her really. Also apparently Eliza was the best kisser, sorry Lee 😛

I managed to ask him a question. One of the helper people handed me the mic so I said "Nick" and he looked confused, then he was just looking around saying "Where are you" so I started waving, he seemed startled to see me. Anyway I asked him if he could work with someone from the show again who and he said almost instantly that it would be Aly. So I asked why and he pretended to be bothered by all the questions and have a tantrum. But then he just said she was really great to work with. Then I randomly asked him if he went to the wedding and he said yeah it was beautiful but hot.

It finished shortly after that, there was a competition (I won nothing, ah well) and free glossy photos on the way out. I got ASH, hes nice and all but would of liked something else.

Also managed to get Fray up there, been looking for a while. Except the cruddy public transport debacle ("Oh, we've moved the train to the other station [thats half way across town], it'll be there in four minutes" which lead to me running and missing it. Anyway).

Got loads of more but they're not as good or a bit similar to the above. Also have an amusing photo of Billy Boyd for a friend.
 
I got "Vicky Olé Nick Brendon" on mine. haha

Adam and Danny were so funny at the party though last night, I'm still laughing now when I think about them. Adam interacted with the guests more though, if you wanted to talk to Danny you had to apporach him. Tom was very quiet at the party, kept lokking at his "cell" phone as if he was waiting for something but Tom was very nice when he signed my photo. He was wearing this bright blue traksuit, it was so funny.
 
Well then he has no excuse.

To add a few more things, Nick sang a few times on request. Someone asked him whether he would consider doing a musical and he sang a bit of "I'll Never Tell" (well just those words). He said he'd love to do one here.

Then later on request he sang some more from "I'll Never Tell" but could only remember "she eats these sqeevy (sp?) cheese that I can't describe" and he happened to sing a bit from Giles' song in Restless as well.
 
Tom, Danny (who seemed chubbier to me then I expected) and Adam (first reaction, "woah, beard") were next to him but £20 each for an autograph, I passed.

It was £15 for those three when i went which was on the friday.

Well i had such a cool day, I had photos taken with tome lenk and danny strong, aww he was a sweetheart, and tom's hiar was gorge! Altho he did look a bit scared!
I was abit disappointed that we werent allowed 'posed' photos with Nick, does anyone know why?

The only thing i regret was not saying anything to them, i was just so nervous, so i think they must of thought i was abit of an idiot!lol
I did get to shake Nick's hand tho, well i asked him if i could!

A very good day, i seethat you bought the frame things that you could get done AshSan, werent they like £50??
I spent waaay too much on buffy merch, but it was all good.
 
I got a plastic autograph holder for each of my signatures. They were like £1 each!

I completely agree Slayerette, Tom's hair was adorable, he seemed really anxious signing autographs though.

Danny Strong is just, like, oh so sweet. I wanted to give him a hug. And he's so funny!

When I went to a con he was at he stopped me in the corridor and was chatting to me, and when we had the cocktail party he was chatting 10 to the dozen at the tables.

My autograph also said Ole on it, he must get bored writing that all day.

As for those photoframes, I used to work for a company that ordered them. It's just piece of wood or a plaque if you like and they are worth about a fiver.

And I think the whole posing thing is because the actors want to get in as many people as possible and posing for photos wastes too much time.
 
Someone asked him about the Olé thing, he said he changes it because if he writes the same thing over and over it looks like nothing.
