My
husband and I have been going to Philly for this con for about 10 years. We love comics and sci- fi, and Philly is
only a 4-5 hour drive for us. However, I
had already done a couple of cons this year, and I wasn’t sure we were going to
bother…and then Barrowman announced. I was ecstatic! I have hoped for the past
couple of years he would do something close by, something both Chris and I
could go to together, and Philly was ideal!
I
have gone to London to see John on stage and in concert, and I have gone to
various cons around the country with my Barrowman fan friends, but this would
be the first time Chris would be with me. He likes John, but he’s not a Doctor
Who or Torchwood guy. However, he has been watching Arrow with me, so he was
really looking forward to seeing him.
Due
to the shooting schedule for his new show Sing Your Face Off, John didn’t get
in til Saturday evening, and they put him right to work with the first photo op
sessions. Chris and I had Barrowman VIP
passes, which included a photo op and autograph each, so we did our first one
Sat night:
I
was happy because he remembered me, although it had only been a month since I
saw him at Calgary Expo! Lol
Chris
was really excited about meeting JB, and we both couldn’t wait for the next
days’ panel. We got up early and got down to the convention center, because
even with VIP entry I knew there would be a line, and Chris was determined to
be in front. I had no argument! In the
end, we were at the end of the second row, center. We both took photos:
Lots
Maybe a few more
He
was brilliant, hilarious, and charming, as usual J My husband was laughing so
hard, he stopped taking pics! JB has another convert.
After
the panel, we went to get in line for autographs. Since he had come in so late,
and there were so many people already in line, JB signed thru his lunch and
kept going until his second photo op sessions:
For
our second photo op we were going to do something funny, but finally decided we
were just gonna squish him:
The
weekend went too quick, as they always do, but I think I have a new Barrowman
fan to go to cons with!
