For Primitive: (Dragon*Con)

[Slynky]

Meanwhile, back to the "popular" pics:

(don't ask me what character this is supposed to be...a gothic fairy?)

There was a rule at the "*Con": You couldn't be totally nude. So, for example, as long as the nipple was covered, it was OK. (hopefully, this photo is allowed here as this person roamed around the convention and outside of the convention in "conservative" Atlanta...and as we have seen in the link David gave, there were lots of kids there, too)

Dear Slynky, might I give you some words of advise?
I suggest you keep more pics of your wife to yourself. The pics are highly disturbing. They make me... well shall we say primitive (sorry Primitive One). The most ancient of urges begin to surface and soon after I'm out of control.
So do us all a favor and keep those pics out of sight!
Yes, this is a huge compliment. Both to you and your wife.

David:
Thanks for posting the link David. I'm going to browse it as soon as I have had my diner. It's the dessert of tonight.

[Slynky]

How kind of you, Timstone!

Told my wife of your compliment, and though it made her feel good, it was not much help. Seems I posted without total "permission", so she insisted I do the same "to myself". So, gulp, here I am on the couch of our hotel. She says I'm a mixture of Picard and Sean Connery with glasses but not as good looking as them. (personally, I think it's their accent/voice that smites her ).

So, to keep peace in house...

Me:

And, to get back to the INTERESTING pics, there is this happy girl:

[Slynky]

Now, speaking of daring...here is a bit of color for you!

[Timstone]

Hmm... posting without permission. That's not good.
Ah well, bring home some chocolate and flowers and she'll be alright.
Cool to see a pic of you on this forum.
Unfortunately I don't have digital pics of myself. I don't like pictures of myself, they always show my bad side.
You said "our hotel". Does that mean you own a hotel? If it does, then I would most certainly like to stay in your hotel for vacation.

[Slynky]

Yeah, like I'd own a hotel...LOL.

Ever been to a convention? Though we live 35 miles south of it, we decided a few years back that doing the "con" all day and driving back and forth was too tiring. So, we book the Marriott (one of the hotels hosting the con) for the weekend. $500! After all, up at 9 am, and to bed at midnight every day of the con. Wifey and I do this as our only vacation for the year. So, we "swallow" the cost.

[Slynky]

Now, a test:

Who can identify this star?

She appeared at the con and chatted, took questions, and just had fun. She laughed, got interrupted by calls from her husband, talked about her "famous kegger" and paused for me to take this pic.

I'll give 2 clues: Can you say Buffy or Taken?

[Timstone]

Buffy, Taken.

I'm not very good at this, is this Sarah Michelle Gellar? Or Alyson Hannigan?

Damn, 500 dollars for a hotelroom?!
That is a lot for a hotelroom. Hope you enjoyed your yearly vacation. Try Europe for once. Go to Czechia. It's beuatiful country, not expensive and nice and sunny in the summer. You won't regret it. Try to get a room in an older hotel in the Opatov region of the city.

Do you have more pics from vampire girls? Nice babes dressed in black, with nice long curly black hair?

[Slynky]

OK, one more of the "famous" type.

Firefly fans should know these people. If you aren't a Firefly fan, you're missing out! It is a show that was canceled in its first year on American TV yet, chose to release a DVD collection of the first (and Last) season. The DVD sales of Firefly outsold most other TV shows released on DVD that year even though the others were established and successful shows! So much so that Universal bought the rights to make a movie (Firefly Movie ). If it does well, there will be 2 more made!

Nathan Fillian ("Mal"), Adam Baldwin ("Jayne"), and Jewel Stait ("Kaylie") are the people you see (of course, if you are Firefly fans, you know this already ).

And they were loads of fun! Nathan and Adam are natural-born-speakers. They joked, poked fun at each other, and without a doubt, had fun. As part of the team who sponsored the Firefly Fan Table at the con, I learned that the panels with the 3 people who represented the Firefly cast set records for attendance at the 3 sessions they appeared at! When I say records, I mean for the 20 years of Dragon*Con! For a show that was canceled in its first year,it's amazing that more people attended those sessions than any other similar type sessions ("meet the actors"). Like, for instance, the Star Trek events.

Adam was the biggest partier! He showed up at midnight twice at Firefly meetings. The second time, he brought the unreleased trailor for the Serenity movie and a gag reel from it. Ran it twice. Basically, he just showed up and had fun with his fans. You know, there is an official forum for Firefly fans. Adam Posts there regularly chatting with members. I think it's nice that an actor with such a long acting career (IMDB Listing Of Adam's Career) can take the time to mingle. When the show was being canceled, fans flocked the website, took out full-page ads to try to keep it running, and basically, jumped up and down in support of the show. Adam's first post to the site and fans was, "I'm your biggest fan." And he just acted like a guy who enjoyed a party.

Yeah, I know he was there "doing business", trying to keep interest up. But he was more than that. I think he really enjoyed meeting the fans and chatting. Otherwise, why would he show up at places where he wasn't even scheduled to be. (ya gotta appreciate actors that just "hang")

Trekkies? You ain't seen NOTHING yet! Watch out for the "Browncoats"!
