nori1980 | ring*con/jamie weekend report Part 1

rushed to hairdresser after work.(done ok).then some more cleaning, before picking jamie up from the airport.
totally weird waiting for her. i know what she looks like, talked to her on the phone, but still its awkward.
didnt take to long and there she was with her black hat ( Thomas Robbins: " I like your hat (..) Its really cute!").
we talked about the flight and tried to "check each other out" while walking to the car.

the rest of the evening was eating pasta, watching videos from the european premiere, renard and ringcon 2002. oh and a SQUEEEEING, cos , well there are some common interests *lol*
stayed up much longer than planned :D

got up at an unhealthy time to catch the train at 7:55..
squee-fest on the train watching LOST (" .. you guys have finished verbaly copulating, we should get move on" // "OH, you guys have an inside joke, how absolutley wonderful for you both!")
3,5 hours later we arrived in Bochum, dropped our stuff at my house and drove to Bonn.

ahem. cant exactly remember what we did then ( do you

sistersluge ??)
strolled around the shops and went to the main hall ( 8th row, right in middle!!), where we catched the end of Sandro Kopps panel (only german lotr actor, some elf).

Paul Norell ( king of the dead ) was next-such a sweet and nice guy.
Quote from TORN : And although he admitted to being very nervous (and it showed, especially in the beginning) he turned out to be a wonderful, charming speaker who had some interesting stories to tell about working with Peter Jackson (and discovering the many, many ways in which someone can turn and look into the camera) and the two years (!) that seperated the filming of both camera-angles in the scenes he shares with Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. Also, did anyone know Paul Norell is one of the two Easterlings that can't find Frodo and Sam in front of the Black Gates in The Two Towers? Well, now you do.

At 7 they started the opening ceremony and introduced all lecturers, artists and actors (omg, squeee CRAIG is so SEXY!!! )

Marc B Lee announced that Billy was late, cos his plane got delayed and he lost his luggage ( awwwww ), so he wasnt gonna be there until his q&a.

then suddenly, right at the end of the opening he was literally "thrown" on stage, so it took him a few minutes and a little explanation by marc to realize what he was there for *g*

"Ok, don't know why I'm here, think it's just to say hi? Or...hm..no, think you ask me questions and I'll answer them...Oh and I can have a drink, that's all they told me!"

Billy wore TEH jacket and looked totall HAWT, liek really really sexy.. and then his voice.. omg.
the whole thing started far too embarrassing ,( god make me invisible)when some girls started dancing asking billy to join them, or when more than two people asked him to sing !!! you knew and saw that he was
PISSED that they wouldnt stop and leave it out!! *glare*
"You can be glad that you aren't on stage with me, 'cause I stink. I really do, I had no time to change clothes.."

"If I'm wearing the same clothes tomorrow, my clothes didn't arrive...and if I'm wearing a dress... then because i fancy it..!"

Q:"what kinda hair was on your prostetic feet?"
A:"I don't know. Horse pubic hair?"

after billy there was laurence makoare's panel and then the "CRAIG and MARK SHOW" which was just tooooo funny.. they were in such a brilliant mood, moving from one joke to the next.

when getting it cut-off ,Mark said :" You're such an idiot!" LMAO

(omg jamie i love the horse jokes, wish i would remember all of it).
very funny:the sentence game, where they had to share a story each saying just one word after the other
Mark: So,
Craig: I
Mark: leapt
Craig: out
Mark. of
Craig: ... SAM

omg hilarious
