And yeah, I kinda freaked out, lol. No big surprise.

Firstly, I will be posting a review of my fabulous weekend at the Emerald City Comicon seperately, but for now, a few words on meeting my favorite actor...

So, I was too broke to get an autograph, so I asked his assistant if I could just say hi for a sec. As I approached him, and he gave me his blinding smile, I felt sick, and seriously thought I was going to pass out. That's when I realized what an incredible fangirl I truly am.

The only thing that kept me concious was the thought of how embarassing it would be to faint in front of James Marsters.

That said, he's very nice. We chatted about how he used to live in Seattle, and how poor we was back when he owned his own theater, lol. I told him I was his biggest fan, and he said he was a very lucky actor to have such amazing fans. I asked him if he was having fun at the Con, and he said of course, he always does. I can't remember what else we chatted about because I was mentally freaking out, lol. It was ah-mazing.

He has the prettiest blue eyes, btw. But we all know that already.
 
I hate you!!!!! Just kidding, I'm talking out of jealously, obviously. I'll never ever get to that, I'm poorer than you. Although James is worth the money.

A three day pass to the Con was a good deal. I feel ya, though! I'm totally poor, hence why I couldn't afford an autograph.
Wow. So cool. I would probably have passed out. No, not really, but I'm sure it would be close. 🙂 Cool that you got to meet him. Did you get a hug? 🙂

I didn't get a hug! Sadly, becase he was sitting down at a table, it would have been awkward.
James seems like SUCH a sweet man. I will probably never be lucky enough to go to a Con, but I hope if I do he's there 'cause out of all the cast he's probably one of the nicest ones, from everything I've seen in interviews. 🙂

He is! He really appreciates his fans. He goes above and beyond he really does. He's SO nice and smiles a lot and hugs everyone, lol.
I just wanna say, that you have more luck than other fans, becasue you didn't only get to meet James at a con, but also had a conversation with him, a real one. How long was this convo by the way?

And it's so nice of him to even take his time to have that kind of talk with you. He truly does care about his fans, he never misses a con. He's everywhere to meet his fans. There are so many famous people who wouldn't bother showing up in events where they can meet their fans. James IS special.

Well, I'd say we chatted for a bit over 5 minutes. I was mentally freaking out, though, so it might have seemed longer than it was!
LUCKY!!!!!!! I *might* get to see him perform soon, and that'd be awesome if I could meet him too. Glad to hear that he's so nice! I thought so from his interviews, but you never know with celebrities, y'know?

He did play a show that night at the Hard Rock down the street from the Con, but I couldn't afford to go! *sad*
(It took me like three hours to gather enough sanity to type this)

Really? Wow... uh... wow. Lucky you. Like really lucky you. From what I've seen from panels on Youtube he seems like a really nice guy.

And please don't take offense but....

I kinda hate you now.

Ha, no offense taken :)
You talking about him made me smile 🙂


Then I remembered I hate you. No fair! I wanna meet him! He's coming to NJ for Bards Birthday Bash and I wanna go so bad but tickets are $300 a piece!!!


btw I don't hate you, I'm just envious. Arrrrrrrrrr.

His assistant told me about the Bard's thing. I think you should go! It's worth the money if you can afford it and if you're a big fan of both James and Shakespeare. I'd go if I could. Absolutely.
Firstly well done for finding the courage to go and speak to him, i'm guessing you were very nervous. Having a chat with James, not a bad person to have a conversation with i suppose.🙂
 
Very cool! I'm happy for ya, girl. 🙂 No idea what I'd say if I ever had to talk to any Buffyverse actor... I would probably just stand there and gape, lol!

I kinda gaped at Clare, lol. All I managed to say to her was that Glory is my favorite villian on BtVS, and I said she looked pretty (lol) which was true...I sounded pretty dumb.
