I am soooooooo tired but it was EPIC!!! or to quote David, "Superior!!" I'd never met G before or been to a con and was very nervous but she was super kind and friendly despite running late because she got stuck in Customs. Photo op, and then autographs (the Marie Claire) and then back to where we were staying for an epic game of CAH, with 12 or so of us playing.

The next day was just as much fun and I met David ( super nice and more than anything, I was struck by how lovely his voice is) , got his autograph, had G sign my XF tarot pack, and then she personalized Room on the Broom to my two kids. ( they are too young IMO , so they have not watched any XF but the book ROTB and Zog are favourites in our home) I got the chance for a photo op with both G and David later that day and then it was a mad, crazy dash to get to the Paley Centre on time. We were a big group with some Havenites and we met up with another Havenite before we left the convention center.

I feel really lucky to have been one of the 125 people at the Paley event. It had a very intimate vibe and the moderator was excellent and a huge fanboy, so he knew his stuff. Gillian looked lovely. Both her and David were in somewhat playful moods but at the same time it was also wonderful to see the sense of camaraderie they now share. I think G was quite touched by David's comments about how he knew she had done her best for him and that if he hadn't said so in the past, that he was grateful.

We got up super early and got good seats for the panel. Standing ovation when they came in and then G asked for some tissues and 5 people rushed the stage with tissues. David laughed and said something about chewing gum, which promptly got thrown at the stage. G picked that up and she and David each took a piece of gum. The moderator was a joke and managed to not only phrase his questions poorly, but to repeat every question that had been asked the night before. David, was playing it up a bit, taking the Mickey out of the moderator while Gillian tried not to laugh at David and what he was so obviously doing. To me and the the group I was with, it was pretty hilarious. David eventually just told the guy that essentially it's time to turn it over to the fans. The questions were pretty good, though one or two people were ridiculous and this includes the Hank Moody " I want a David autograph for free while everyone else paid for one" guy who had no shirt on. Also, At one point while he was talking, David just suddenly took his jacket off and draped it over G's shoulders. I am assuming she must've been shivering. It was very sweet.

There was a hand wrestling match which was the result of talking about Mulder and Scully touching each other and the two of them wound up holding hands for a while. Also, someone asked a very broad question about religion and science and G gamely tried to answer it . a few minutes in, David leans over and starts tapping on her mic.He looked like a naughty kid . G looked at him, started laughing . The last question of the day was an awesome, beautiful proposal from a guy to his girlfriend. Watching G and David's faces as it became clear what was going on was priceless. She said yes and David had them come up on stage. And then the COTR shirt went for $700 and it was over.

Bed for me!!!
