amand-r went to the uk: birmingham

[amand_r]

Hahahaaah I am glad that you all enjoyed the first leg of mah trip!

London and La Cage over (Nick humoured me in my disbelief that all pubs closed at midnight and got lost in Chelsea with me at one in the morning. He's a good sport, considering we'd only just met…seven hours earlier, and some of those had been spent ogling John Barrowman's magnificent cleavage), we set our sights for Birmingham!

--record scratch—



I am not good enough to take awesome pics of the celebs like smirnoffmule or any of the others. What I did take were awesome pics of lolarious signage!


She is indeed very very awesome.


Behold the sheep.


JAMES MARSTERS IS 53 YEARS OLD!

Yeah, I bid on an "intimate encounter" (of the third kind) with Gareth David-Lloyd. Behold mah bid:


I was not alone in the LAWLS! Galadriel came shortly behind me and did me one better!


BUT I LOST TO THESE FUCKERS!


For those of you who follow this blog, this is most gratifying. I present, the real, authentic, SADFACE:


AT SATURDAY NIGHT'S PARTY THEY HAD ONE OF THESE, BUT I COULD NOT GET CRUE TO RACE ME ON IT:


Is that the fifth doctor?


I don't take good celeb pics. It's Gareth and Kai doing their "skit" wot they wrote, I swear, after fifteen beers and then screamed into the mics. This is, for the record the skit I reference in "Positron":


Look closely. Kai Owen is, as they say, all:


And a brief video about Sadface:

THAT IS ALL I GOT FOR YOU ON THE CON AND THE HILARITY WE HAD THERE.

Tomorrow the saga continues, as amand-r and crue are unexpectedly thrown together for another leg of the trip, and they wreak havoc in Wales:

You know that can't end well.

These are really good pictures.

Oh yeah I like those slippery slide things.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IKR? I WANTED TO DO IT SO BAD, BUT CRUE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING UNDIGNIFIED! WHATEVS!

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

No it's not.

You should of told him to embrace his inner child.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

NICK'S INNER CHILD HAS A PHD IN DIGNITY.

IT'S HIS INNER BARROWMAN HE SHOULD EMBRACE.

THEN AGAIN, HE MIGHT THINK I WAS SUGGESTING HE WANK A LOT.

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Oh well,

yeah I would agree with that.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IT'S SO TRUE!

[bluejeans07.livejournal.com]

And yet if JB asked him to race, Crue would jump that slippery slide like a wild thing.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG RICKSHAW RACE THE SEQUEL.

OMG RPF--TRAFALGAR SQUARE, FOOT CUTTING AND A GIANT SLIP N SLIDE.

I thought I understood how silent auctions worked, but I have no clue what is going on with those pictures.

Sadface is REALLY adorable, and you really good with him (her?)

To my eye, it says Kai Owns All. And based on what you've told me about him, it's a true statement.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that was a silent auction.

Sadface isn't MINE, but I got to manhandle him before he slept with Nick, so it was like pristine and shit.

Yeah, I think you are right on both counts there.

[curriejean.livejournal.com]

I WANTS MOAR SADFACE VIDS. HE'S SO PLIABLE.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HE TOTALLY IS.

I BET BY NOW HE'S ALL SCROTTY.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

I am not good enough to take awesome pics of the celebs like smirnoffmule or any of the others.

You're kind, but I think it's a bit much to describe me as a celeb. Besides, you did take a picture of me, I've seen it.

(SEE WHAT I DID THERE).

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! And your bling photo is awesome.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

I WAS SUCKING ON THAT TOOTSIE POP FOR YOU BABES. THAT LOOK ON MY FACE IS ONE OF "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN MY MOUTH WHILE I'M SMILING FOR THE CAMERA". I'm a consumate professional, and soldiered through, however, which comes with being a celeb and all.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

Were your tastebuds dancing and singing? I hope so. Sugar and corn syrup and artificial flavor -- yum! I think it was a party in your mouth, is what I think.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAHAHAHAHYOU ATE MY MISPLACED MODIFIER. ATE IT.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

SADFACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I &hearts HIM SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GDL & Kai on stage together. I would have done an embarrassing fangirl squee. As you know. :)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I might have gotten verlempt for the first ten seconds of Kai's appearance (okay he came on stage singing "Hymns and Arias" and I think that song is cute), but THAT WAS IT. NOT EVEN WHEN EVERYONE SANG OASIS AT 2 IN THE MORNING!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

DON'T LOOK BACK IN AAAAAAANGER.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE MY WONDERWAAAAAAAALL!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

SAAAADFAAAAAAAAAAACE!

i totes would have raced you, AND WON!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT! I CHEAT!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

WHO'S TO SAY THAT I DON'T ALSO?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THEN WE ARE AT ODDS.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

I BELIEVE WE ARE EVENLY MATCHED. IT'S ON!

[ebineez01.livejournal.com]

I only got to the Sunday of the Con but saw the last panel with everyone that was there & the one with just Kai. I thought he was fab. I find I like Rhys alot more now I've met Kai. I think I liked him more than Gareth actually - I got to ask him a Q at his panel & he had everyone gimme a round of applause cos I came all the way from Australia - yay

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL WE WERE AT THAT!

[ebineez01.livejournal.com]

we must've been in London, B'ham & cardiff at the same time just about - we probably saw each other everywhere & didn't even know it. *bursts into song* it's a small world blah blah bleh ;D

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

You would have noticed us in Cardiff I believe. We were .. uh ... there are vids. HAHA. Mandr will post those again sometime, probably, but yeah, we would have been.

Well, you wouldn't have noticed us at the Hub. We were hanging in the main bar almost exclusively.

BECKS VIER.
