Pal from last night...

I was actually standing in the hallway, talking to Jenny Mollen's mom, Peggy, when Dennis came up and said hi. He was really excited about being there and he was amazed on how it was all like, as this was his very frist convention. I don't remember much of our conversation, we talked about conventions in general, I think. And then my ticket number was called for the autograph session and I said bye.

Next time I saw him was bright and early the very next morning at the photoshoot. It was him and Stacey. He waved to me, when I was in the queue and when it was my turn to have my picture taken with them, Stacey told Dennis that I was from Norway... lol. And then when I was about to walk away, he went "Oh, riiiight, you're my pal from last night, aren't you? Sorry I keep forgetting..." lol

And then when I was up at his and Stacey's guesttalk and as I was up there asking questions, he interupted me and said "I've got to say, you've got the second best shirt in the entire convention. This of course is the best one" and he pointed to his own shirt which had a picture of his character on it. To which of course I said "I bow down to that shirt". And then he started asking about how I made my costume (I was in my Illyria costume).

I was stewarding in both his autograph sessions and the first day I noticed how the queue formed up at him and Jennys. So I ended up naming them Chatty #1 and Chatty #2, but I forgot to tell them, though. I asked him to cheer for me in the fancy dress, which he said he would.

I saw him again after the fancy dress and he told me that Amy loved all the Illyrias and how it was very hard to choose between them, he also said that I had his vote on it :)
