MattH | Hiya CM |
Elais | heyas matt! |
MattH | Sorry I was late...work and traffic combined to hold me up/ |
Elais | no problem...I was chatting with another group of people |
Elais | so I wasn't bored in here *g* |
MattH | So how was the trip? |
Elais | short but sweet |
Elais | the hightlight of the con was meeting Amber Benson |
MattH | How was that? |
Elais | marvelous |
Elais | i spoke to her in person twice |
Elais | got to see her do a Q&A with Andy Hallett and James Marsters |
MattH | Excellent - any interesting news? |
Elais | she also did a Q&A after a showing of her 'Chance' movie |
MattH | How was Chance? |
Elais | I got the dvd of Chance like a year or so ago |
Elais | I like it |
Elais | it was Amber's first movie and it kinda reflected that *g* |
MattH | I dl'ed it...haven't watched it yet. I did pony up the $ when she was making it, so I got the signed photo. |
Elais | I think she just finished another movie, but it hasn't got a title yet |
Elais | I got the signed poster |
Elais | I went to the James Marsters concert Saturday night |
Elais | he was good |
MattH | Any good? |
Elais | I'm still waiting for the cd I bought off the website...I think it was supposed to be shipped this week |
Elais | he plays guitar much better these days |
MattH | Must've been practicing. |
Elais | and he is back to being able to sing his own songs |
Elais | on of the reasons he broke up with his band 'Ghost of the Robot' was that songs one of the other bandmembers wrote were too hard for James to sing |
MattH | Yeah...that would be a good reason... |
Elais | I guess James prefers to sing ballads rather than the rock songs |
MattH | Really? He seems more the hard rock type. |
Elais | it's hard to describe |
Elais | rock ballads I guess would be the best description of his singing now |
MattH | So everything went off without a hitch, then? |
Elais | yup |
MattH | That's good - I know you had been worried. How did the meetup yesterday go? |
Elais | terrible |
Elais | I get to the meetup place (the local Borders bookstore) and no one is there |
Elais | I traveled to find the nearest internet kiosk to check for messages |
Elais | it turns out the team leader of the meetup cancelled the meeting just before the meeting started because of car problems |
MattH | I've done meetups like that...it sucks. |
Elais | I go back to Borders and hung around with a sign to see if anyone else showed up |
Elais | after about a half hour, a went back home |
MattH | My sympathies. Hope you didn't have to travel far. |
Elais | nah |
Elais | Borders is about 5-10 minutes from where I live |
Elais | the whole adventure didn't take more than hour and half |
Elais | I mentioned that I was going on a trip to Vegas next week? |
MattH | I thought that was cancelled in favor of this last trip... |
Elais | ah no |
Elais | a few of the guests that I wanted to see have bowed out of the event |
MattH | Which ones? |
Elais | so I'm thinking of just staying Vegas a couple days and then attend the Lost party in LA |
Elais | Andy Hallett, George Hertzberg and James Leary |
MattH | Ok - I know the first two. James Leary is? |
MattH | Never mind - I looked it up. |
Elais | guess it looks more like an Star Trek event now |
MattH | Eh...not that interesting, then. |
Elais | Tim Russ has been added |
Elais | they've also added Dean Haglund |
MattH | Tuvok I like, but he is no Spock. I never cared for the X-files, so am not interestedin Dean Haglund. |
Elais | heard from a friend he is an extremely funny guy |
Elais | but I'm not all that interested in the Enterprise folk |
MattH | Yeah...the only characters I like are Archer, T'Pol and Phlox. |
Elais | anyhow, I'm juggling the airlines in order to make it to the Lost party |
MattH | Well, good luck with that. I'd say don't get Lost, but that is kind of what you want ... ;-) |
Elais | looks like I have to book through southwest and Ted airlines |
Elais | so....fly to Las Vegas on Thursday on Delta |
MattH | I always try and fly Southwest |
Elais | fly to Los Angeles from Las Vegas via Ted Airlines |
MattH | Ted Airlines? |
Elais | Fly from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City Sunday morning so I can make my flight from Salt Lake to my hometown |
Elais | yeah |
Elais | www.flyted.com |
Elais | so southwest is a good airline? |
MattH | I've always liked it, though I haven't flown since 3 or so years. Was much better than United. |
MattH | Some people hate Southwest, although I don't know why. On time, cheap, pleasant attendants |
Elais | how often did you use Southwest? |
MattH | I flown them 4-5 times, IIRC. |
MattH | Most of my family uses them as well. |
MattH | It helps that they have a major terminal here in Burbank (I depise LAX) |
Elais | I've always flown through LAX |
MattH | Well, I also live 2 1/2 miles from the Burbank airport, so that affects my decision as well. |
Elais | aha |
MattH | Still a lot nicer airport. |
MattH | Ok...I need to get going. I'll speak to you next week. |
