Last weekend was our annual Comic/Entertainment Expo, & when I found out who the speical guest were going to be I squeeled.
Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica
&
Michael Rosenbaum of Smallville

Saturday was Tricias Day. A day filled with Cylon lovage. She is so wonderful. Photo Op was at 1:00 so I made sure we were there by then.
I was so sad that neither of my honey couldn't come that day, so I had to be a BSG nerd all by my self ^_^
Photo-op no.1 went well,. But unfortunatly the photographer had some sort of technical glitch which ended up deleting at least 10 of his SD memory cards.. which included my photo *cries* But luckily she was such a doll, she agreed to do another pp later in the day *is happy*
She is so gorgeous

She is so gorgeous.. too bad I was all comic conned out by the second photo op & completly exausted & looking horrible *le sigh*

Sunday was Mike Day, the day!! the BF and I rushed down to the convention center, Because I was under the impression that his op started at 11:00AM.. oh nos we're gunna miss it!! luckily it was the autograph session #1 that was starting at 11, and the ops were at noon. phew.
So we head to the main hall and there he is! *squeeeeel* sigining autographs. so we get in line & hes looking perfect, loveable and just so kind.
we weren't allowed to take pics there which kinda totally sucked! but whatever. So I grab my photo and pay for my autograph.
& hes like 5 feet away now. *heart thump*
The girl in front of me asked him what his natural hair color was, as shes never seen him with hair.
& before he could get out an answer I blurt out "Dirty Dark Blonde!" he looks at me totally suprised, cocks his head and nods
"...Well.. I think its more Naughty, then Dirty" *grins*
omg *giggles like a fangirl*
he signed my photo & I thanked him and told him how awesome he is. He then autographed my boyfriends pic, and said he loves his name "Brady" and Brady went all fanboy! it was the cutest thing EVER!


Now its time for the photo op. I was excited, but the girl behind me, I think she was going to faint. lol. he was running a few minutes late, I told Brady its probably cause hes grabbing some lunch, Chicken Salad I told him. Brady looks at me & is like huh? I just shook my head.
He gets there about 10 minutes past noon, and asked the one guy helping if hes got chicken salad in his teeth, Brady looks at me impressed. I told him I over heard him talking to the security guy at the autograph table. lmao.
the actor who played Young Boba Fett in StarWars was there, to meet Mike as well, & mike started talking about StarWars, & how he went to the Lucas Ranch with George Lucas to watch one of the StarWars movies. Brady was so Jelous!! (Im not into StarWars, but hes a huge SW geek)
Then he asked who all is from Calgary, of course the majority put up their hands, then he asked if anyone was from Indiana. (where he is from) and totally ironic, there was a guy right in front of us dressed as Indiana Jones! so funny!
There were about 5 people in front of us now, and I look back at the girl behind me, she still looks like shes going to pass out from bliss, too funny, I asked her if she was going to be alright, all she does is nod at me with this huge smile on her face.

Photo op done... 2 1/2 hours to kill before panel... what to do what to do... Spend Money! weeeee!
I seen everything the day before, so I didn't really need to buy anything. but I did however find one movie that was missing from my Johnny Depp movie Collection.
We were walking past this booth, and I spot it.. I stared at it for a minute.. walk up and grab it, & was like "This wasn't here yesterday" stared at it some more. my eyes went teary.. they really did. I've been looking for his movie for years!!

and it was only 10 bucks!!! I wanted to hug the sales guy.
Panel Time:
(this may not be exact... but pretty much what happened =d)
Now we get 1 more hour with Mike, yey!
got wonderful seats 3 rows from the front. Mike had with him one of the Writers (can't remember his name)
Firstly I want to express how absolutely hystarically funny Micheal is. I swear the man should be a comedian!
There were alot of questions about the show & how it differs from the Original Superman comics ect.
Does he miss his hair? yes he does, but he should have a full head of hair back in a month or 2
How did he like playing the voice of the Flash o nJustice Leauge : He loves it, some of the most easiest work hes ever done.
He impersonated Kevin Spacy.. omg! so funny, he does it so well!
He also impersonated Christopher Walken, I was laughing so hard!
Someone asked if the rumors were true if this was his last season on SV (which was annouced by the network the other day
Read here
& he said yes it was. in fact his last day on set was the pervious day ( Last Saturday: April 26th)
he finished filming and went back to his trailer, where his make-up artist was. she cleaned him up, for the last time, and she broke down. Shes been making him Lex Luthor for 7 years, and she was really really sad. He said good-bye and headed for the exit. Thats where it hit him.. hit him hard, he started sobbing like a baby, and couldn't stop... but shhhhhh he told us not to tell anyone *g*
Someone asked why the show is contining on for a 8th season. Its going to be weird without Lex.
He says that the show was only supose to go for 7 seasons. But Smallville is the 2nd top rated show on the CW to Smack Down,. & the network didn't renew Smack Down for next season, so basically he thinks that the network threw a ton of money at SV and told them to make more seasons.


Someone then asked if there are any pranks on the set? and if hes ever pulled a prank on anyone.
(Best story EVER!)
He was at a spa a few weeks back, getting a massage (cause you know.. he works sooooo damn hard *s*) and he found out one of the producers were there as well (can't remember his name.. sorry) so he goes to the front desk and asks what room 'so n so' was in but they wouldn't tell him.
Hes like "Listen Im fricken Lex Luthor! I work for the man.. now tell me what room hes in!"
they did.
He calls up to the room using a fake European accent,
(this is where Mike stands up and gives us a reinactment)

"Mr (insert name here) this is room servicewe have a package for you, shall we bring it up?"
*grumble grumble* "yes bring it up..."
*BANG BANG BANG* on the door
"Mr (insert name here) open up, we have a package for you" *BANK BANG BANG*
"Hold on a minute!!!"
*BANG BANG BANG*
"Mr. open up please *BANG BANG BANG*
The guy opens the door soooo pissed off! and there is Mike standing in the door way buck naked!
I don't think i've laughed so hard in my life!
He talks about directing & how Tom would be a pain in the ass when he was directing a episode. (not sure what ep it was)
But Tom came up to him, and was like.. I don't think this scene is quite right, and Mike was so tired and grumpy he yelled at Tom and was like "WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR 5 MINUTES!"
Toms like "dude, I was just joking with you"
& hes like "so was I..." *laughs*
& how Kristen never talked to him for the longest time. Then one day She went up to him and was like "I really like working with you" and he was all "oh my god.. she likes working with me! shes talking to me! omg..."
anways.. those are my highlights. =D
I had such a fantasitc time!
now I just need to get in gear and head to a Supernatural Con to meet J2, & I'll be able to die happy *s*
EDIT: The writers Name who was with Mike was Jake Black, & The name of the producer he played the prank on was Darren Swimmer
