Collectormania

[caliente_uk]

I had a great time at Collectormania on Sunday, which I went to with spikereader. I saw lots of you there, and it was wonderful to finally put faces to names. I'll write a proper report later and reply to all of the comments I've received over the weekend. :)

I was pleased to get the chance to say a few words to James when he signed his autograph for me. He told me that he'd had a great time at the dinner on Thursday and that there had been lots of "good conversation", which was good to hear. I did point out that my contribution to the conversation was only small, but that yes, it was good. :) I also passed on a message from K, which he seemed genuinely touched by.

Having my photograph taken with James was something I'd been nervous about (I hate having my picture taken), but was actually a lovely experience. James makes you feel so at ease, and is so warm and soft and friendly. It really was a special experience. :) I almost ran away without having my second picture taken, but got called back, so had to go through it all again. Not complaining here. :D

The Q&A was wonderful! I know there are transcripts for this, so I won't even try to go into detail, but it was so good. Especially the beginning part with Steve! :D

More to come later. Possibly with a few pics. :) No pics of the gigs, though, as I prefer to sit, look and listen rather than snap away. I'm sure other people took plenty! :)

I'm glad to hear the fun you had at Collectormania and how your pic taken with James was another lovely moment that you won't forget.
There 's something incredibly warm and soft about him yes , and we can't help but feel it and be overwhelmed

It was a marvelous few days that I will remember.
Only James can inspire such feelings and emotions .:)

And as I just said to Carolyn , it 's something wonderful to put faces to names and be friendly and chatty in real while we're so used to do it on a day-basis!

Collectormania was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. And the photo op was lovely. :)

Yes, he has a special quality that few people have. He melted my daughter's heart. :)

I only wish that we could do it on a more regular basis!

Collectormania wasn't quite as insane as last time, I more or less enjoyed it :D Glad you had a nice time.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, you deserved all of this, Cal. Much love to you and I'm so happy you've had a great time. *hugs*

It was such fun!! (I seem to be saying this to everyone and everywhere) and thank you for your company. I am so tired now though, right through to my bones - must have been all that walking around. Well worth it though.

*hugs*

I had such a good time! Thanks for your company too, Carolyn. Hope we get the chance to do it all over again! :D

I can't believe how tired I felt for days afterwards! And it's been more than a week already...wow! *hugs*

I also passed on a message from K, which he seemed genuinely touched by.
*awww* he's such a sweetie! I'm sorry I didn't make it to Collectormania, but so pleased you and Carolyn had a good time - and both braved the photograph session *g*

I hate having my picture taken
I still want to see the pic though :)

*hugs*

The photo op was lovely. :) And yes, James is a sweetie. :D

My scanner isn't working, but I've taken a photo of it. Look out for it later! :D

I hope you, baby and Matt are all well. *hugs you*
