Well, that was a fun *little* convention <g>
258 guests, 20,000 attendees.
Babylon 5 was well represented. Peter Jurasik (Londo), looking amazingly
well for a man who had major heart surgery 4 weeks ago, Maggie Egan,
(the ISN announcer on both B5 and Crusade), who is a lovely very funny
lady, Robert W. Krimmer (Cartagia), who I've now run into a number
of times and really like, he's head over heels in love with his wife
of 20 years, which gives him extra brownie points in my book, Claudia
Christian (Ivanova), a larger than life lady, Jason Carter (Marcus),
who was having a really good time, Wayne Alexander (Jack, Lorien,
etc), Peter David (one of the writers), Robin Atkin Downes (Byron),
Julie Caitin Brown (Natoth), who is a very talented singer/songwriter.
And of course, Mira, who was her usual wonderful, warm, welcoming
self, and is no longer at all surprised to see me. During her solo
talk Thursday night someone asked her a question about her European
movies and she was saying that the only one she knew was available
over here was "When Father Was Away on Business". So I put up me hand
to fill her in that there were others available and she looked over
and said very nonchalantly, "Oh hi, Moyra". Warm, but no surprise at
all. So I told the room that a number of them were available from DS
Sound in Toronto, but that they weren't subtitled. And Mira asks "Why
unsubtitled?" so I explain that that's his audience and that he ships
them all over the world, and Mira goes "the immigrants".
It did help everybody who need to find me, find me tho' <waves at
lurkers>
She's had a couple of nibbles for movies roles but there's nothing
definite at the moment. I get the sense that she's probably about
ready to go back to work.
And I had the happy happenstance of running into Goran and Marko a
couple of times. Marko is an amazingly calm and self possessed little
boy. He's really starting to look like himself (as in losing the
generic baby look) and I think he's going to be a very handsome young
man. He certainly has the most amazingly beautiful blue eyes, even
more beautiful than his mother's, if that's possible. Mira's I've
finally figured out are (or at least were on Sunday afternoon) a
wonderful grey blue colour. I like Goran, he's a very charming
gentleman.
Mira and I had another go 'round on setting the record for the maximum
uses of the word cute in a conversation when we walked back from the
Dealers Room/Walk of Fame to the hotel together on Saturday evening.
That was a nice treat and totally unplanned and unexpected. I was
waiting for the light to change and she walked up behind me.
The more contact I have with this lady the more I like her as a
person, and the deeper my respect for her gets. She's pretty bloody
amazing.
