Downloading and cleaning up my photos is taking longer than I'd like, so I'm probably going to be posting stuff in bits and pieces. For tonight, since I need to go to bed soon as I'm exhausted, personal encounters! Will try to do the rest (or at least the BSG stuff) tomorrow.
So here's my story about the Jamie signing: I'm waiting on line, probably about the tenth person in line or so. In front of me is this guy who has no idea who Jamie is; he's just going to the signing because he was a fan of the first
Pulse movie. (Jamie's signing was to promote the straight to DVD magnum opus
Pulse 2.) The lady in back of me only knew who Jamie was b/c her husband is a BSG fan. She and I were talking to this guy, and we were wondering if Jamie was going to allow photographs. Sure enough, people start asking, and what they do is walk around the desk at which Jamie is sitting to sign, put their arm around him and get a picture. Guy in front of me is all, I'm going to get my picture taken with him because he's apparently famous! No joke, that's what he said. So, he gets up there, and asks for a picture, and goes around the desk, puts his arm around Jamie, gets a great shot. Then it's my turn. When I ask for a picture, the lady who's running things is all, "You know what, to save time, can you just stay there?" meaning on the opposite side of the desk. So MY picture is the awkward leaning in across the desk shot, when asshole in front of me WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO JAMIE IS got a nice full body contact arm around him shot. MOTHERFUCKER. I was so fucking PISSED I can't even tell you. SO UNFAIR. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Ugh.
At least he looks nice in the picture.
( That one and a few more, plus Sam Witwer, John Barrowman, and Gareth David-Lloyd. )
