Teryl is going to be at the NY Con?!?

[hsapiens]

Just checked the con schedule, in hopes of figuring out how to squeeze in my non-fandom friends and noticed that:

- Michael Shanks has been removed from the guest list. Bummer. I do like to take pictures of the man. He's very pretty.

- TERYL ROTHERY HAS BEEN ADDED! I know, I know. It's impolite to shout but oh my god, I was just whining about how it seemed wrong to have a con without her and there she is!!! Oh joy! katiedammit, is there anything now you want me to get signed?

>>But you're right, the "2nd tier" guests are more generous with the fans. I'm still marveling over Peter Williams (speaking of men to drool over) sitting down with us in the lobby for several hours and chatting about anything we wanted. Don's affable, approachable demeanor is such a pleasure. I'd be thrilled to see them -- or many others.

Yes. I keep telling the sobbing Shanks fans to buck up, and go to the con. If they go with an open mind, they might be delighted to find out a new favorite. I never thought much about Dougie Arthurs until he jumped into my arms at Dragoncon and posed. That was after he yelled, "Photo op" and jumped into my sister's arms.

I mean, actors do not jump into my arms and pose. The most I get is a hearty hand shake (from Don and Tony) and I usually get a hug from Carmen. So I have a soft spot in my fan heart for Dougie. :) He's so over the top that he's inoffensive. :)

I'll have to show you my photo from him. It's a little too racy to put online but I was amazed that he treated all his female fans the same way. Some of the top tiers only like the cute thin fangrrrrls.

Dougie! I love Dougie! He showed up to Gatecon and was always charming to every guest. Always quick to do what he could to make it a successful con. He charmed ALL the women without ever seeming to overwhelm them. He pulled lots of money in at the auction. He invited fans to join him for dancing after the con was over. He was always, always engaged. Loved him.

One of my fondest memories of Gatecon was the nadir of the photo shoot disaster. We waited HOURS - 7 of them to be exact - to get our photo shoot. It was hot and the hotel a.c. wasn't really up to the challenge of that many bodies. Watching Heru-ur playing waiter, carrying cups of water on a tray and offering them to fans in line? THAT was what convinced me that the actors were genuinely wonderful people. It wasn't just a put on. Sweet, sweet man. Love him.

Absolutely do show me the photo. I adore Dougie! :)

well, after I explain the story behind the photo, you'll understand why I think Dougie is an equal opportunity letch. :)

I mean,I got BEADS from him. :) Will say more later. :)

I hope he washed them first.
