( I'm your Boogey Man )

I've been back about an hour now from Hallowhedon Convention. Fun weekend but a little more low key and well behaved than some events. Still I had a good time - got to meet with some whedonverse actors I'd not previously seen.

 Asked ASH about the Shakespeare play and what happened re casting. Marvelled at just how much  Charisma Carpenter actually *is* Cordelia and how much Adam Busch *isn't* Warren. Phina was hilarious and  Amber was very sweet too :)   Full report and photos follows when I've finished carving pumpkins.  Happy Halloween everyone and don't eat too much candy.

So the guest list for Hallowhedon is changing daily like a pair of smelly socks. I won't be able to ask Sean Maher now about Much Ado production  :-( but I will be able to ask Tony Head why he couldn't appear in it as Leonato - as originally cast, seeing as he is now going to be at Hallowhedon on the Saturday.  They have also announced Phina Oruche (Olivia in Buffy ) for the Sunday so it kind of makes up for Sean cancelling.  These one day only appearances whilst some consolation, make me think that they couldn't afford fees  for the three days? 

I am not impressed with the lack of updates and late guest announcements from Massive Events for this year's convention. They did say attendance was only 300 so I think poor ticket sales may have impacted on who they afford to sign up. It's chicken and egg though as a good guest will sell your tickets for you. The whedonverse is now four shows - I'm sure they could have found at least another guest or a writer/crew member of interest.   I understand totally about cancellations but they left a guest list with three names on it since February and couldn't even give the party themes until two weeks prior.  So feeling sorely neglected and it will have to take a pretty good guest next year to get me to commit.  I'm sitting on my hands a little trying not to bitch too much on their forum but I'd rather they didn't run these things like they are doing us a favour, we do expect something for our cash. 

{/ rant}   On a positive note I finished the Cordy sketch and am just pulling out the watcher's guides for signing.

As Halloween falls on Monday I'll actually be home this year which is nice.  Sweets are here and the pumpkins are waiting to be carved. Ellie hasn't decided on her outfit yet  - we've got the decorations out of the loft and will sort through those later.

It's taken a bit longer than I expected. Lots of photos to sort out.  Here's some teasers

 




There's more shiny HQ photos on my site here.  If you'd rather not look through them all,  James Marsters here and here , Nicholas Brendon and here, Mercedes   & here, James Leary   & here, Mark Lutz   and here - with group shots here & here. 

And if you want to know what went on read the report,  it's hidden under a cut( clicky )

 I've been sick since I got back from VidUKon.   Typical - a virulent form of 'woman flu' (yeah twice as bad as the man one) and I feel like crap.   So I owe fb to those wonderful premieres shown this weekend, email responses, AVA judging notes, VidUKon reports  etc. etc.

I will get to it all, honest.

In the meantime I'd like to wish all my flist Happy Halloween with a small offering of a vidlet.

Monster Monster - In the Hall of the Mountain King.  Just a silly Monster parade I put together, what can I say? I like editing to classical music.
