Witches and Ghosts and Goblins, oh my!

What's not to love about Mary Winchester?

I haven't seen Samantha Smith since the first Chicago convention in 2007. I didn't get a photo with her then, so I wasn't missing the opportunity the second time around.

But let me back up - first, she is STUNNINGLY gorgeous. If you've seen other pics of her from the con she's wearing the most amazing dress with these high heeled boots. She said that she needed to stand during the Q&A session because sitting down on that chair with her short dress wouldn't be a good idea! LOL!

I can't say enough good things about her. She's so kind and sweet and funny and well-spoken. Her panel was such a delight. She had a lot of good questions asked. One of her best comments was about that nightgown. It's made of this horrible scratchy material. She said that she wants that when the show finally ends so that she can burn it! LOL!

She was asked which version of Mary she enjoyed playing and she mentioned Dark Side of the Moon. I'm so glad she brought that up because even though you can't see it in the photo op, I'm wearing my "I Wuv Hugs" t-shirt specifically because she was going to be there that day. So when I walked up to get her autograph her face lit up when she saw the shirt and she said to me, "I feel the need to give you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." LOL! I loved that comment!

Then when she saw me in the photo op line later that day she smiled really big and held out her arms to me for a hug. And I love how the photo turned out!!

Samantha Smith, you are one classy lady. Never change. :-)

Sebastian Roche - rated XXX

Ah, Sebastian. That man gets wilder and wilder with every convention. So much so that Creation put a disclaimer next to his panel description in the program - "Sebastian's panel is not suitable for younger attendees." ROTFL!! And Sebastian didn't fail to live up to that expectation. :-)

It actually started on Friday night when he showed up at karaoke, acting completely nutty, as always. He kept going down off the stage and into the crowd and throwing out candy and glow sticks. I actually got one of the glow sticks! Woot!

His Q&A panel was off the hook, as usual. Like Richard Speight Jr. said, you'll ask a question but never get an answer. That's pretty much what happened! I think during the entire hour Sebastian answered two questions. He spent the rest of the time singing, making sexual innuendo and walking through the crowd and climbing on chairs.

It did end up being lausbub0402's favorite panel, though, because at one point Sebastian was asking if anyone was there from outside the U.S. and she yelled out "Germany!". Later on when he was walking through the crowd he was going, "Who said they were from Germany?" and charityflint starts waving her hands and pointing at Claudia (who probably wanted to crawl under her chair *g*). So Sebastian goes back there and starts speaking German to her! LOL!

I told Sebastian later in the autograph session that it was my friend he was talking to and he's all, "I'm so sorry! Did I embarrass her??" Hee! And I'm like no, she loved every minute of it. Right, Claudia?? Ha!

Of course I couldn't resist getting a photo with him and wrapping my arms around him. Who me, shallow? ;-)

P.S. - lausbub0402 and charityflint ended up smooshed in an elevator right up against Sebastian. I hate them both. :-P
