Pegasus 2 - the Highlights version
Feb. 10th, 2007 12:57 pmSo, I finally get the time and energy to write about the Atlantis convention I went to last weekend (con crud is not just a myth). Still I don't want to bore all of you with unnecessary details, so I thought I'd do a highlights version and then a long one with photos, just in case you're actually interested.
The first thing I should say is that I had a wonderful weekend. I caught up with people from Gatecon and made some new friends *waves to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
orandream,suekay_87, and tipsywitch*. The guests were great fun and even the queuing (of which there was a lot) meant a chance to talk to new people. Cons are rapidly becoming addictive, and I have a strange feeling this won't be my last.
Some of the highlights of the weekend for me:
Seeing Chuck the technician walking past us outside the meet and greet, and nobody else believing I'd seen him. (He was a surprise guest.)
Con dances - I really can't get too much of them. A dance floor full of people, including a couple of actors, all line dancing to Doctorin' the Tardis. Also Dan Payne and David Nykel trying to do YMCA on the stage.
David Nykel generally, such a nice guy, shaking hands with everybody and stopping to say hello.
David Hewlett's Q&A being interrupted by a Cyberman on stage (he's an avid Doctor Who fan). Oh, and K9 all over the place - I now have wallpaper on my phone.
The Costume Competition - some inspired costumes. I'm just wondering if the ZPM did it deliberately as scientist bait - because it worked. :-)
Kate and David's combined Q&A, with much sibling teasing.
My photo with David and David, when the flash kept shining off my glasses, and I had to stand there with his arm round me while they tried again, and again. Such a trial. :-)
And Ryan Robbins, who paced around the stage so much that the stewards taped his feet to the floor. :-)
