Adam at the london film and comic con.

[Fireflyfanuk]

Just got back from the london film and comic con. was a great day. got to meet Yorky briefly and say hey . had a look around the stalls, loads of bargains to be had. took some pictures of chraisma carpinter, billy boyed and ron pearlmen.. hmmm, what else??

..

Oh yeah, i got to meet Adam And Cassandra (elvira). The direction this was heading was obvious from the thread title, the build up was so un necessary but such fun

i`ll start with Cassandra. She is an amazing woman and so really pretty. i gave her a gift, which she thanked me for and said she loved it and she commented on my brothers shirt (so 15 mins later we walked back and he gave it to her lol) she is just a wonderfull woman. the Elvira character is so over the top and in your face but Cassandra is nothing like that. she is really quiet. me and my bro had a pic taken with her which was cool..

Now, onto A.B.

first of all, i found the perfect way to introduce yourself to him.. heres what you do. You make him a gift, talk about it on here for 6 months and then, when you finally get to meet him throw the box at him, let him look inside and realilze its you.. what? it worked for me lol

i gave him his gift and when he opened it he went a little quiet, asked my name and then asked if i was from here. the he said Well come here. at this point im thinking 1 of 2 things can happen. he is either going to give me a hug and say nice to meet you, OR he is going to hit me for being so d**n annoying.. sadly it was the latter and the police had to be envolved..

Kidding he huged me (twice, so one of them can be for you thyme
We chatted for a bit, but there was a que behind so it wasnt for too long.

people are lieing when they say A.B is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.. i think he is the nicest guy ever full stop.

i was so nervous going into the place. And when i met Elvira i was shakeing, she is the reason i am such a fan of horror. she is an icon.. and she was awsome. after that however, the nerves came back and brought some friends. Its A.B Ya know? when i got there and he huged me it was like i was meeting an old friend i had known for years. put me at ease straight away. An awsome guy, and deserving of every single peice of praise he gets.

today was the best day

Hi There

Thank you

its something i had been working on for a while, it was awsome to finally be able to give it to Adam in person. I had told him about it a couple of times, but never actually shown him any pics. He really is a great guy.

So im guessing you were at the con then lol:) were you staff or just an attendee?

Hope you enjoy the forum & thanks for joining (and for the compliments)

Hi Darren

No worries, it was fantastic. So pleased I finally found my way to the boards.

You will probably hate me, I was crew at the comic con, I was Adam's assistant on the Sunday, when you gave him the gift.

Look forward to chatting with you and everyone else.

Marina xoxo

lol thats no reason for me to hate you Im just glad i got to meet him.

And i apologise if i didnt speak to you, look at you or even acknowledge your existence.. i was a little nervous lol. Hope i didnt seem rude.

So how did you find us?

More importantly, did Adam call security when i left? lol

in all seriousness (is that a word?) He is a great guy, right? You spent the hole day with him, you know more than most. i got to chat for about 4 mins, maybe not even that. But then i already knew how cool he was, but it was nice to be right


Again, thanks for the compliments on the gift. Its something Adam mentioned ages ago about his time on full metal jacket. So it seemed the apropriate gift. All though if id have known he was going to point me out in the q&a i might not have given it to him lol. (Just kidding, it was awsome that he thought of me to be honest, even if i did turn 4 shades of red ;D)

Welcome to the boards, i hope u like the place.


Darren

ps, did you happen to get any pics with A.B at the con? i want to start a new section for the gallery

Hi hun,

don't worry about not speaking, I think you did say hi, I was still in shock myself ;D

He's such a top guy, the best actor I have ever had the privilage to sit with and look after, funny, charming, and such a flirt you have no idea I thought one woman was going to melt ;D Including me, when I got a hug from him at the end of the day. I was a little intimiated at first, with him being 6ft 4ins, and I'm a tiny 5 foot hobbitt ;D

I stumbled up ths boards purely by accident, but I have been looking. Unfortuantely don't have much time, as using the computer at work, waiting for mine to arrive, been a problem But I found you and that's what matters.

That was great when he pointed you out, I was sitting just behind the camera man, I bet you wanted the floor to open up and swallow you. Believe me, Adam was very impressed by the gift. Impressed so, when ever he went for a break, it went with him. I was holding it the talk, just in case it disappeared.

the only pic I got of Adam was with me, but I will check out my friends to see if they have any, plus I know a few guys, so fingers crossed.

Thanks for the welcome
