He's not an alien, he's a gaylien.
So I'm back! Had an absolutely fab weekend of which I won't post much detail since far more articulate and organised people than me surely will.
It was a great con, but from a purely photographic POV, I didn't like it as much as the Rift (See Rift pics, being better). The light wasn't as good, and also because the guests were seated a lot of the time, there wasn't as much movement, and consequentially the pics were a bit less interesting.
There was a lot more kissing though.
Anyway. Shut up. Pictures.
Not in the least bit dial up friendly, I'm afraid. I'm also not done going through them all, so will probably post a second batch before too long.
All pics are nickable for icons/wallpaper, but please credit
smirnoffmule and please also tell me, because I'm always interested to know what people do with my stuff. But do not fucking hotlink. See below.
John Barrowman - voice of a nightingale


Gareth David-Lloyd: Amused

Naoko is so photogenic, you couldn't take a bad photo of her if you tried.


These are from the big group Q&A, though I only got Gareth and John since Kai and Naoko were hiding behind a curtain. John's laugh - seriously. It's a national treasure all on its own.


Naoko can ramble a bit and lose track when she answers questions... so the guys are mean to her. Naoko is awesome - everyone else rips the piss out of her something chronic, but she's so cool, and gives it back in this quiet little way.


Oh hello...


Someone asked the panel what their ideal christmas present would be. For some reason everybody seemed to be directing their requests (mostly for porsches) at John - prompting Gareth to hop on his knee.


From the little skit they did on Saturday night.
Funky dancing to the Torchwood theme
Um... 


"I'm not an alien, I'm a gaylien!"
RANTO
Gaylien indeed.

From Kai and Gareth on Sunday:
Yes, Gareth has a sheep handcuffed to his wrist. "I miss home," he explained.
Kai is singing hymns and arias. 
Someone asked what was their favourite part of their body. They're actually trying to show us their legs. Kai is blurry but I couldn't leave him out.
Um, nice pants, Gareth.


From the group Q&A on Sunday - Kai, Gareth and Naoko.
Someone asked the panel which other cast member they'd swap bodies with if they could. Gareth said Naoko. Now why is that, Gareth?
Ah. Because she has nice tits, apparantly.
Kai agrees. 
I just love Naoko's face. She says she has to put up with this all the time, and to her it's just white noise now. To which Gareth responds "Racist." 
Put each other down, boys.
HAPPY


The question asked was whether any of the cast have had to have therapy to help them overcome working with JB. Gareth says there are times with Barrowman when you just have to relax and close your eyes. He does so, at quite some length, complete with sound effects. 


Hi. We are the cast of Torchwood. We are interested in your question.
Lolz.
I have to say though, much as I love taking me snaps and meeting the stars, what really makes Torchwood cons so fun are the fabulous, friendly, funny and intelligent people I get to meet and hang out with.
OH WAIT THAT'S YOU GUYS. :D
Seriously, I've said this so many times over the weekend, but I love this fandom so much. I went to this con on my own, but I was never short of someone to chat with. I'd name check everyone, but I'm terrified of missing someone out and offending them - but I do have to specially thank
valderys for the use of her floor,
purplephoenix03 for PRINGLES,
blackbird_song for lunch, and
marvola for being lovely. And a special hurrah for
absinthefairy88 for making it. What a weekend.
I'd also like to formally both thank and apologise to all the people I was dancing with, and indeed near, on saturday night.
HERE COME THE DRUMS HERE COME THE DRUMS.
ETA: Because apparantly this needs saying - DO NOT HOTLINK. Because you won't be the only one who does, and what you're basically doing is collectively shagging my bandwidth up the arse. You'll nuke it and the photos will go away if you do this, understand? If you want to re-post these, right click and upload them to your own damn host. Seriously, whoever's doing this, you're taking the piss. Pack it in.
