Next panel was Andy Hallett and James Leary
These guys were the funniest panel of the whole weekend, I think everyone in the whole audience had to have laughed themselves to tears and the guys even had tears in their eyes once or twice. The only problem was they kept it dark on stage for some reason so I had to fix these up alot. Sorry for the graininess but I had to use them all cause they're all such great pictures of how much fun we all had together.
Andy Hallett on the left plays Lorne on Angel and James Leary plays Clem on Buffy.
These guys seemed like best friends too, they seemed to know each other very well from what I could tell. They made each other laugh almost as much as they made us laugh.
James was the serious one with the dry sarcastic wit and fantastic timing. Andy was just freaking hysterical. When he'd laugh you just had to laugh, it was such a great laugh, so contagious I couldn't stand it, wish I could have taped it.
Andy telling a story, he's so expressive and silly, I can see why he's an actor.
He just loves to smile and laugh, must be part Italian too, he's all with the hands. Ok, don't remember what the size thing was about but we can imagine huh? :)
James getting a bit wild.
They were just so hysterical together.
Andy gets serious for a story. Looks like he's looking right at me. Doesn't he look a bit like Angel here?
Finally he takes his coat off. Get comfy, stay a while and relax with us. ;)
This could be when James told the story about his part. You see, the design wasn't in yet, he was told it would be a loose-skin demon. Well, when he saw it, he said, "You said he was gonna be a LOOSE-skin demon not a foreskin demon." Of course we all broke up and Andy was rolling.
The joke went on...
and on.
Ok, here someone gave them both some Hershey's kisses for a snack cause Andy said he was really hungry. After this Andy went to grab James's candy and James lightly slapped his hand and said, Andy doesn't need any more candy."
And the silliness continues. A bit later someone offered him a Slim Fast bar. Ok, the story is, he's somehow gained a bunch of weight lately and was trying to loose it and when he was offered the Slim Fast bar the whole audience just lost it, he was in tears, we were in tears it was the funniest thing on earth at that moment. I can still hear the laughing in my head, it was just hysterical and they had such a great time with us it was wonderful.
After that I stopped getting pictures cause I was just laughing so much. One other funny thing came up that a friend reminded me of. Andy was asked if he read fanfic. He kind of blushed and said a friend had given him some to read and he didn't think it would be right to repeat it cause there might be kids in the audience. James laughed and said, " I already said foreskin demon". So Andy told all the kids to cover their ears and says, "All I can say is it involved Angel, Lorne, a shower, a bar of soap and...three fingers". Well, that was it, we were all rolling all over the floor, people everywhere, it was mass hysteria. Shortly after that the panel was over and we said our tearful good-byes.
After their panel was over they did some videos and had intermission, then did another small auction. We just amused ourselves with being silly. Here's how.
That's Cat and I, self portrait time, SMILE!!!
I just put the camera over my head and shot backwards, was trying to get the mood of the audience, mostly deer caught in headlights, don't ya think? This was the woman sitting next to Cat, she is a huge James Marsters fan and bought up alot of his stuff in the dealers rooms. Her name is Tonya and she bought one of 2 statues of Spike for his charity, among other things. Wish I got a picture of the poster thing she got, it was gorgeous, it was a life-size cutout of James himself, oh my!!!
Auction stuff, didn't get anything, didn't even try, saving up for other bigger cons, but they did have some nice stuff though.
Then it was time for the last panel, James Marsters!!!
