Yet another thing in my backyard, but I don't have the money to afford to go. BUT one of my lovely betas invited me to James' concert *squees loudly* Is anyone else going?

Sadly, no. :(~ I was suppose to go, but after consulting with my checking account I have found that if I want to eat and pay bills, there is no way I can take off work for 2 days, drive across Alabama and pay for a hotel room...no matter how hot JM is. Poo! Have fun at the concert though!

Well... as for this and WriterCon, if it wasn't for the fact that I live just north of Atlanta and in both cases have gotten very lucky... yeah. I still have to make sure I don't squander the paycheck before that night so I got money for dinner, drinks, gas... etc

Can anyone who attended the Buffy Q&A verify that JM said he might make an appearance on Smallville again? Thanks. :)

I did not attend (tardis is broken *G*) but every report from the con that I've read on the LJ have stated that he did say that but no further details...almost like a slip.

Here's a quote on it:

"When each one took a turn to tell the audience what their current/upcoming projects were, JM named Torchwood, Without a Trace, and P.S. I Love You, -- didn't describe them; just named them -- and then added, "and maybe Smallville again." He didn't elaborate anymore than that, though."

 Here's a picture of James greeting his fans shown on Whedonesque Flicker:

Thanks, CM. Did you attend? I was wondering whom you are quoting.

I think he'll only do it again if they can do something more with the character.  Originally, they were supposed to have made him... integrate with Zod, but I have no idea what happened to that. Instead, they put him in Lex.

I can't wait for tomorrow night! *waves fists then passes out*

I wish I could go to the actual con, but I can't afford tickets although Patrick tries to talk me into going every year. HE goes, but then HE is on a panel *rolls her eyes at him* Because HE is in a television show, but he was a guest even before the show

Have to admit it would be kind of cool if JM reprises his role as Brainiac/Fine. :nod:

No, I didn't. It's just from someone else reporting in.

I've been reading that they're mentioning the end of the season on SMV, but it's going to have to be a good part for James to go back.

CM

Well, I hope he returns, although I don't blame him if he doesn't care to work with those idiots who run Smallville. 

Thanks, CM.

Sure. I think James is in a position with them to ask for a really good script/arc, with his recent popularity, so if he does return, it should be a better storyline than the second half of Brainiac.

Oh, and he'll be in 2 episodes of Torchwood - first and last of the season. Starts for the Brits in January.

Pics of James in a suit last night - just scroll down the thread:  http://www.fuzzyshark.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54316#54316

omg, there was nearly a cat fight down on the floor during the auction for his shirt..... and all the while he's smirking like a doof and rubbing it on his face then lifted his shirt to rub it on his stomach and stuff.... lol

You Went! Aaaaaah!!! LOL, I bet there was....his shirts always go for a lot, even on E-Bay.

And I'm definitely not listening to the concert right now, nope.......OMG, he's sounding good! Seriously, he moved up a step vocally. It's like he believes now! I'm so proud. :D  I can't WAIT to go to the LA gig!!! *bounce bounce*

Blood Faerie, thanks for sharing. I wish I could have seen that. JM seems like a real trooper. One of these days I'm going to have to go see the man perform.

Yup and bought a photo in the lobby ....which I then spilled my beer on :frown: lol it thankfully didn't do anything to it

Who's ER in the transcipts?

Elizabeth Rohm, from "Angel". She sat in with James all 3 days. Juliet wasn't part of the Q&A today.

Don't droll too much, ladies... :D

Ohhhh, yeah. :D I saw that one in RavenU's collection... definitely going in my permanent JM file, hehe. Our boy's a little naughty, isn't he? ;) But he's a sweetie, too - check out the "open-mouthed awe" expression when presented with the fan tribute book: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ravenu/1318096324/in/set-72157601845458117/

lol *claps hands* the flash pic looks like where I mentioned he rubbed the shirt on his chest and belly after rubbing his face in it to get maximum sweaty smellage for the lucky winner of the auction :P

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Jessie's report about presenting the book once Marsters Mobsters is back up.

RavenU caught that moment perfectly - I just had to spread it around to everybody.

Eowyn - nice to see you taking a peek at MOZ. I've been there a couple years, now, though my home board is morethanspike.com.

Heh, Caro. I actually just registered to see that pic! It was linked over at CDS, and I didn't realize it was RavenU's (and that it was also posted in her album) until after I'd registered.

Well, the lusting threads are worth seeing, if nothing else, but it's a fun place. They're naughty, though CDS is naughtier. ;P

Ok, so I am resurrecting this post. Is anyone planning on going to this year's DragonCon Aug 31-Sep 3? I actually get to go since my hubby has taken pity on me and decided to take me for our anniversary to meet JM.

Was wondering if maybe there was something we fanfic writers could do to recognize one another? Any suggestions?

Easiest way is to wear a name badge with the name you want recognized.

I don't know how I missed this thread before, but I'm so going again.  I went last year and it was lots of fun=)

I'll have to beg someone to take me again? haha - Too bad I'm saving my tax returns (first year I actually get them - even though I was 24, my mom still filed me as a dependant last year since she claimed I made so little) for a trip to Disney World. I had thought about DC before my friend suggested going to Disney World, but oh well. I'd rather go to Disney anyway and we're going for New Years. She claims its the biggest fireworks display in the world....
