selenayI am home from the con, exhausted but very happy :-))))) This was a great con. I'd say that it was despite Michael Shanks' cancellation, but in some ways I can't help wondering whether it would have been the same kind of con with him. It's certainly a con that proves you don't need a lead actor to have a good con - the guests were all very entertaining and I'd see any of them again. The big success for me was David Nykl - if you see him on a con guest list, buy a ticket. Very funny, energetic man. I think that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paranoidangel42 and I have been converted into being Zelenka fans *g*
All of the guests were entertaining, but Dan Shea was the other one who really stood out. I'm always fanscinated by the process of filming and writing episodes, so hearing from a behind the scenes guy was terrific.
I'm now starting to wobble a little on the "not going to Peg One" front, but I'll be waiting to see what guests are announced before making any kind of commitment. PA and I have a list of guests that would be our trigger spots for booking - basically, if anyone on that list books then we'll have a serious discussion and probably end up going. Damn, these conventions play hell with my resistance to temptation.
As always, the best part of the convention was the fans - meeting everyone that I know, meeting some people that I haven't met before (hellonicci_mac!) and just enjoying the fun and community that builds up at these things. The worst part was coming home and rejoining the real world :-(
I'll have the full account later, hopefully tomorrow, with photos and stories. Right now I'm exhausted and must finish downloading the music vids that were recced to me over the weekend before finding some supper and last week's Stargate.
