Who I Saw & Who I Escorted

Comic Con came and went and amazingly it rushed by leaving me exhausted and overwhelmed.
Here is my photo memory book of the Con: *some of the below pictures are from ew.com & some are from the interweb-thingie that we all know and love*
Thursday started with Keanue Reeves & Jennifer Connelly ~ Keanue looked at me and said "Hi" when he entered the elevator as I escorted him to the Holding Area before his panel.


Mark Wahlberg walked right by me at one point, & all I gotta say is YES, he is HOTTT!!!

Hugh was also there as a surprise for the Wolverine X-Men movie.

Arriving at the front door, basically, the cast of RocknRolla arrived like all other Con Attendees at the Hall D lobby. And before you know it I'm ridding on the escalator between Jeremy Piven and Gerald Butler chatting it up and Chris "Ludacris' Bridges and Idris Elba from the Wire!

Here are all the boys:


Jeremy Piven~ gosh I do heart him a lot!


I saw this guy, he's the "main guy" from Twilight - I could only explain his hair as if he were in a Tornado while standing still.....

On Friday my dream of dreams came through... I was able to escort Joss Whedon and the cast from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day & Nathian Fillion (yes, I heart him too!).


This pic is from the Dr Horrible MySpace page and clearly they took this picture in the No Photo's Allowed Holding Room - guess the security didn't notice the picture takings....



This picture needs some slight explanation : while escorting the cast to the Dark Horse booth for a signing this crazy-ass masked man came up on my right from the crowd and started grabbing at NPH who was right next to me and I practically started to beat him with my clipboard only to find out that it was prankster Nate Fillion! His brother was keeping the black mask for Nate to put on when the moment grabbed him. The Con Services Security knew it was Nate so it was Michelle that stoped me from whacking him out of fright for myself and the guest!


Oh, and the Watchmen cast was there

as was the cast of Bones (David Boreanaz & crew), Kevin Smith, Kiefer Sutherland (24) and a bunch of other people that I never got to see personally.....

Gerard Way was also at Comic-Con promoting something or another ? ~ turns out he was also in the hotel that I was staying at & I kept seeing him around. He was probably on his way to really cool parties that I had no access to....

***************
On Saturday I had more Joss Whedon duty! Joss Whedon was back to talk about his TV Show Dollhouse. With him he brought Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikett to discuss the show.


Tahmo is currently best known as Helo on Battlestar Galactica and he was totally HOT and was really nice. He was doing double duty - he attended the Dollhouse panel and then made a quick visit to the Battlestar Galactica panel, and then he was escorted down to the Exhibitor Floor for a signing....

YUM!



Also on Saturday the Heroes Cast was there.... there was a lot of drama with getting them all into Hall H due to some unfortunately technical difficulties (some folks, like M.M., were pulling their hair out dealing with the technical difficulties).


Brendan Fraiser & Maria Bello were there to promote The Mummy:Tomb of the whatcha'ma'callit (which received a sleepy man in the Chronicle today). Brendan Fraiser looked okay, but really it was Maria who was dressed to the nines: white collar showing just beyond her deep blue jacket dress and heels ~ she was smoking! Brendan on the other hand sat on a chair up against the wall gazing at his phone non-stop ~ no one is sure if it was even on.....

**************

Sunday was quite in comparison to the rest of the weekend and sadly NPH couldn't make it to the Harold & Kumar DVD panel so really there wasn't anyone on my must see list although there were some crazy screaming women for the Smallville & Supernatural cast... Whew thank goodness it's over!

Sounds like you had a good time hob nobbing with the A List...
