Things Raeven learned in Anaheim I've been lifted, a poem by morjan HL Things SnickDrollTroll Learned at the Con Continuation of above from Wingnut A few things Biker Babe learned at the Con |
Twas the first day in Anaheim
Forumlanders are wonderful people Tip the bartender. Answer the crabby waiter the first time. Don't use the back of your roommate's head as a directional marker for the path to an elevator. The Hilton bathtubs aren't big enough to accomodate your favorite Horseman. Sleep is not an option. English people spell Jill with a G. Doors on firestairs are sometimes locked. No more than two words at a time to cast members, and you don't stutter. If someone pushes to get you out of the way in front of a signing table, try to fall forward into the cast members. If you tell someone to shut up, follow it with the word please. The service elevator lands you smack-dab in the kitchen. Bring band-aids for the girls...

HL Things SnickDrollTroll Learned at the Con 1. David Abramowitz is a cantor for a synagogue in Denver. He has an incredible voice, as he demonstrated by giving us all a seder-time blessing. 2. Elizabeth Gracen doesn't know very much about her new spin-off series, except that she will play Amanda, and there will be no deviations from the HL "canon". 3. The Quickenings consist of three parts: the flame part that's filmed with the actor, close-up shots of the actor against a green/blue screen, and lightning bolts that are each one individually hand-painted on each single frame of film. 4. The flashback/present-time transition effects are not written into the script. Sometimes the director knows what he wants, and other times the post-production team decides to get "creative." 5. Bill Panzer is the final arbiter for all things Highlander. 6. Peter Hudson is a very nice man. His eyes, however, are as chilling in person as on the screen. 7. Jim Byrnes is both taller and thinner than I expected. 8. Stan Kirsch is both younger and thinner than I expected. 9. The post-production team didn't know that USA channel was cutting the show. When informed of that fact, they termed the cuts "criminally stupid" or words to that effect. 10. The Con was the first time that Roger Daltrey has sung in six months. 11. Ocean Hellman has known Jim Byrnes since she was 3 years old. 12. Alexandra Vandernoot is even more beautiful now than she was on the series. Sooo fragile looking. 13. Stan Kirsch knew about the Clan Denial, 14. Next to the stars, BJ got the biggest round of applause. 15. Peter Hudson does cartoon voices. 16. Bill Panzer hinted at the possibility of having Joe and Methos in the spin-off once it was well established. 17. Myles Ferguson held his own on the "Bad Guys" panel. 18. Roger Daltry is a lot thinner in person than he looks on the show 19. Bruce Young doesn't wear contacts and can't see well without his glasses. During the baseball scene, the ball was going everywhere but where is was supposed to. Wen he threw it the last time everybody on the set moved behind him so they would get hit. 20. Jim Byrnes CAN do comedy.
1. AJM does *not* have an accent, except when he fakes a British one. 2. I really am the worst at remembering faces and names, so I apologize to everyone I re-introduced myself to. 3. A doppelganger fan club may be in the making. To those of you who wer in on that discussion: wanna do it? 4. PW's body guard is also good-looking! 5. AJM really is cute, and for a *younger* man he doesn't scare too easily. 6. Anthony DeLongis is a hunk, though AP is still my preferred sex object. (Where *are* those extra batteries?) 7. VP, PH, JB are really nice guys. (I'm sure the other celebs are too, but it's these three that I got to encounter personally.) 8. The ceiling in BJ's room isn't high enough to *really* swing a katana. 9. AP can rock my boat anytime! 10. The con was so satisfying, I may start smoking again.
