NYC: Museums, Actors, and Friends

[hsapiens]

Yay! I'll be traveling to NYC on October 30 and be there until November 6, a glorious week. The better half had his week at the Pebble Beach Concourse and I'm having mine in museums. I'll probably freeze my keister off but I'll have fun while freezing. On the agenda thus far:

MUSEUMS
- The Brooklyn Museum. Oh yes. Assyrian collections. Egyptian collections. I may melt from the overload.
- The Met. I'll be revisiting the Temple of Dendur, Mr. Nips (with a polarizer this time), the incredible Assyrian Reliefs, and may find time to move on to that modern stuff. Like Rembrandt, Tintoretto, and Canaletto. ;-)
- The Cloisters? The Frick Collection? The Museum of Natural Science (carefully avoiding all dioramas of funny brown people)? I absolutely adore NYC museums.

ACTORS
- Gale Harold and Blythe Danner. :) jalabert has kindly consented to keep me company at Suddenly Last Summer. What is the etiquette for getting playbill autographs? Do I lurk around the back of the building and hope to catch an actor/director/stagehand-type? I'm not likely to get shot or anything because I'm mistaken for a mugger, right?
- Michael Shanks, Cliff Simon, Carmen Agenziano, Beau Bridges. Stargate geekgirl heaven. :) Except...no Teryl. And that's just wrong. I better start figuring out what to have ready for them to sign. I've become blase about getting their autographs I have so many of them now. What a jaded fangirl I've become. Best enjoy it since this is SG1's last year. *sniffle*

FRIENDS
mcroft immlass jalabert selmak triciabyrne1978 janiekins moonshayde la_directora? yams69 (the bum deleted his LJ account -- but I love him anyway *smooches, K*) And many others who are not on LJ (or haven't admitted to me that they are).

If the past is any guide, I'll be returning with multi-GB of pics and utterly exhausted.

Cool! I was trying to think of things to bribe you to get signed at the convention, but....... well, I got nothin'. Keep an eye out for fun music videos, would you? ;)

I faced the same stage door dilemma in August when stalking watching Teryl in those plays on Vancouver Island a couple months back. Fortunately it was a small production and we were the only fans there, so we just hung out in the lobby until the actors started wandering out, and I heard one of them say, "I'm gonna check and see if Teryl needs a ride..." I stopped him and asked if he'd let her know we wanted to say hello after traveling all that way to see her, and he very gamely bopped off to fetch her. :) The wait-politely-with-a-Sharpie plan sounds like a much better idea, tho'.

I hope you have a fabulous time!!

I'm excited about Carmen and Cliff - they're new for me - but I gotta say this lineup is the worst I've seen. Seems like every con I attend gets a little bit less exciting guest-wise. :( I can't even get worked up about yet another Michael Shanks autograph. I know he doesn't do it for you but I'm a huge Daniel fan. I think the mountain of autographs I already have are probably plenty.

I just adore Teryl. You know if she isn't completely exhausted, she'll make an effort to meet with fans and that it means something to her. I don't necessarily get those vibes from Gale Harold so...*shrug* Damnit, I really, really wish Teryl were going to be there. Or Don. Or Peter Williams. Playing hookie and visiting museums sounds so much more appealing when they aren't there.

Any fanvids in particular that I might be seeing? :)

Well, seeing as I haven't sent them anything new for a while - probably not. I just harbor this happy little fiction in my head that they'll play all of my stuff Just Because. ;)

And for the record -- I don't mind Daniel. However, I think Shanks' convention presence leaves a lot to be desired.

Daniel is by far my favorite of the two.

I'll make a list this time of the vids they play. I really, really hope that they play vids having something to do with guest about to appear. Unless they choose to do all Janet and Daniel vids. Then I'd be riveted to my seat. ;)
