I MET IANTO! \O/
Aug. 15th, 2009 07:37 pmThere was a signing in Borders of the audiobook 'The Sin Eaters', read by Gareth David-Lloyd, and Rowan and I headed into town to get my copy signed by him. :-)
It was due to start at one o'clock, so we headed in a few hours ahead of time, to avoid missing out again like we did the 'Children of Earth' DVD signing (Got there an hour ahead of time but they'd already capped the queue! Gutted!). They were already at capacity within the store, but there was an overflow queue outside and we managed to get more or less to the front of that; as soon as they started being able to let people in, we were in the first batch.
He was held up in traffic initially, so there was a slight delay, but once he got settled in things moved fairly quickly. We got out of the store with our prize at about two o'clock, which is pretty good!
The bouncer offered to take a photo for us with our camera, but it didn't come out! *pouts* But no point getting all depressed about it - at least I got to see him this time! Only got about a minute or so with him, naturally, but he was really friendly. Rowan was so thrilled at seeing him he was literally bouncing out of the store - such a shame we didn't manage to see John Barrowman at HMV. Strengthened my resolve to start going back to conventions as soon as I can afford it again - it's so irritating how the Torchwood cons are never anywhere near Cardiff! What is up with that?
Mel and Will are in Cardiff this weekend, and we met up with them in town afterwards. We all then headed back here so Mel could do some initial fitting for my bridesmaid dress. It was deliberately cut generously, since it's easier to take clothes in than out, and it was really heartening to see just how much they're gonna need to take it in by! :-)
