Don't get me wrong, it was a good con, nothing like AE2 (which was crap) or Chicon (which was just unnecessary)... but it wasn't what I'd hoped for either.
Ja, es war nicht die lustigste CL das ist wohl war... (erinnern konnte ich mich nicht dran, habe währenddessen Notizen gemacht, nur deswegen konnte ich alles im Nachhinein aufschreiben :P)
Das Panel wurde soweit ich weiß verschoben, weil die anderen Gäste frühere Rückflüge hatten... aber ja, er war verdammt müde, er hatte die letzten Wochen eigtl. jedes Wochenende eine Con, natürlich war er müde... ändert leider nichts daran, dass es enttäuschend für uns war... naja, next time :)
Saturday I got up at 5 and was at the hotel around 6am and there was already a line of like 40 people who were waiting for the sale of Coffee Lounges and reserved seats.
So they are no longer selling them on Fridays? I remember we hardly got any coffee lounges at A7 precisely because they sold out most of them on Friday to people with the earliest passes.
As for Mark Sheppard... I'm sure he meant it as a joke. I've been to his coffee lounge one time and in a limited crowd he is really very interesting, he's passionate and very geeky and he talked a lot about things American television does wrong. I think he just has this dry sort of humour not everybody gets - weirdly, the same thing coming from Misha is acceptable isn't it?
About the picture with Misha, I wouldn't worry about it - I mean, we're all human. Anything could happen, from him having a headache to getting a phone call about his kid getting a stomach ache.
Nope, they decided to sell the M&G on Friday but CLs and reserved seating only on the same day (so Saturday CLs on Sat, and Sunday CLs on Sun), which sucked b/c people were queuing from 4am til after 8....
I know he's british and very charming in his panels and all but I've had several encounters with him that made me not like him very much and this was just the last straw. I talked to Suzie about it and she too said it might have been his sort of humor but he tried to blame this on me and made me feel guilty for no reason and that's unacceptable. So yeah, he might have a dry sense of humor but it's different than Misha's because with Misha by now I think I know when he's joking and when he's being serious *sigh*
That wasn't intentional, I haven't been actively on LJ for at least 2 years now, other than posting Con reports ^^° I'll readd you of course!

HAHA OMG this is simultaneously best and worst thing ever. Basically whoever can stay longest without sleep wins. Epic. I'm obviously gonna queue twice cos I want all 4 Misha CLs. (Were there 4?)
Yeah I guess you're just used to Misha. Don't worry about it, I'm sure Mark wasn't really mad at your or anything.
Wow, what a weird expression in your Misha photo... maybe he thought it would be funny? It sounds like he was teasing you when you first got in so maybe he made the face as a joke...
:( Or maybe his ticks were distracting him D: ewwww
I'm disappointed to read about Mark, wow. Why would you tell a group of fans you don't want to be there? Plus I was thinking earlier that in most of the Mark photo-ops I saw posted he looks like he doesn't want to be there. Maybe he was having a bad day or something but I feel bad for anyone that was excited to meet him and ended up hearing him say he wanted to be elsewhere or got a lackluster photo.
I remember at one of the Asylums he was actually harrassed at the bar, like he was trying to get a drink in peace after the con and he got surrounded with a bunch of fans trying to talk to him and take pictures so... maybe that didn't leave a good impression of Asylums with him
Yeah right? It's so strange... I'm trying to get over it but every time I look at it I just feel bad... gnnnh...
Mark always looks the same in pictures (which is why I don't understand why people even get photos with him, he literally looks the exact same in each and every one of them) so I don't think he had a bad day, he just didn't want to be at the M&G... I heard they told him earlier he wouldn't have to be there and then changed their minds last minute, which is regrettable of course but still doesn't give him the right to tell us he would rather be elsewhere...
IDK he seemed serious to me but I don't know him very well so of course I don't know for sure.... still, he made me feel guilty for something I shouldn't and that is very rude to me...
I'm so sorry this kind of sucked for you. ::hugs:: I can understand not liking Mark. I like him, but I've never met him. I've never met any of the cast. But just because you like the show doesn't mean that you have to like the actors. It's just stupid to think that. You have to prove yourself to be liked, and not everyone is going to like you. They should realize that! So I'm not hating on you just because you don't like Mark. I'm sorry Misha had a bad weekend though. Maybe it was because of Jared's family, maybe he just wasn't feeling good. Who knows. I actually don't think your second pic is that bad. He is a bit somber. But I'm not happy all the time either. Oh well. I'm glad you got to hang out and actually help out. I don't even know how you would even begin to try to work for a con. That's all above my head! Thanks for the report though! Haven't seen a lot of videos for it. ~Monica
It didn't all suck, it was just very stressful. I think I need a couple of days to work everything out and then I can remember the good things rather than the bad ^^ So don't worry, I think Misha was just tired, I hope he feels better soon <3
