*sniffs* I'm so sad that even our reports are completely done, now.... *sighs*
I agree with your bitching about the organization! The fact that basically everything was in french, the fact that nothing ever started on time, the stupid dancing that could have totally been cut short, the fact that they showed TONS of videos from L-Word and just a couple of QaF (and only during Randy's solo panel). Also, a few L-Word fans pissed me off when they insisted on sitting in second row even if the panel was about Randy with no one from L Word! *grumbles*
I guess the good company (and the eye candy...lol) kept us from being too bitchy, but really... wtf?!
Awesome pictures... and I see you've included the lip!bite (do you remember us swooning when you showed us that pic?) and the "I'm using my powers of mind control to try and stop you from taking another pic of me"!one :D :D :D :D *loves*
The organization could have been better. From my experience something always goes wrong and the timetable never holds completely, but there were bigger problems. Still we did get to meet Randy and have our moments with him. I guess we just have to happy with that. And of course we did have the wonderful company of all our friends :D
How could I not include those photos! He's so lovely in them! *happy sigh*
Thank YOU for the memories and sharing the weekend with me!
Wonderful report Pia, all three of them!!! I've read it religiously, because I'll never be able to do such complete nice reports, but it doesn't matter...with friends like you and aschicca I'll have something that will complete my amazing memory of this con, the best of my life!!!
Thank you for this wonderful, gorgeous report.. It's the best of any I've read of any QAF fan event involving the stars. Congratulations for acting like a real lady and still have your way with him.lol I've seen up close a few times, but not in a formal setting. I did not find him friendly or generous or outgoing. And, as lovely as all your pictures are (and they are) he doesn't seem connected somehow. That's how he seems to me ALL THE TIME. You and the others made it a good time and forced him to be the mensch he not always is. That's class, Piksa. I think you have more of it than he does. On the organizational part you are certainly correct. Do you know the financial arrangements with the artists? Do they get paid for pictures taken with them and autographs? You know since you don't mention it, it's clear that nothing would bother and you had a great time. But he didn't call you a middle-class, overweight fan! Just saying... Anyway, thanks for your report. You're wonderful. Keep them coming..hugs Sarah
I'm sorry to hear that your experiences with Randy haven't been the best. Mine were completely opposite. I enjoyed meeting him very much and I found him very pleasant, considerate and friendly. I have no bad word to say about him from the whole convention. I enjoyed it and Randy made it an unforgettable experience.
I have no idea of the financial side of the convention but I would imagine he gets paid a lump sum which includes the talks, photos and autos. But as said, I don't know anything for certain.
Hi, sorry for butting in but I wanted to offer my own experience with Randy, too. I'm sorry you didn't have a pleasant time, but I can assure you that every single one of the people who met him at this convention found him extremely gracious, polite, kind, sweet and very very patient. I haven't heard a single bad thing about him, and that is saying something since there were a lot of people at the Con.
Plus, a dear friend of mine met Randy three times (and once in Stockbridge) and she always had a wonderful experience with him. She told me he was charming and very friendly.
So, you know, maybe it depends on how someone approaches him? Food for thought.
Yeah, I guess the wonderfulness of Randy was already established at the convention itself, on several occasions. *g* So many happy memories and fabulous people!
Thank you for having your part in making the convention such a great experience and being my queue!buddy several times!

I'm maybe slightly OCD about my con reports. I just want them to be as detailed as possible so that i can still remember everything at a later date :D
There are some lovely close ups of Randy in my pics ;D He's one lovely man.
