What Was The Best Part of My Day Yesterday?

Hmmm.

What a good question!

Was it discussing comics with one of my heroes, the lovely Dave Gibbons, co-creator of Watchmen, and having him ask me to work on something for his new project?

Was it meeting the actor who played Bombur and having a great discussion with him, and finding out that he’s sweet and kind?

Was it meeting RIVER SONG, Alex Kingston, and talking with her at length about Dinah Lance and her Doctor Who character (by the way, I keep saying this, but I have met many beautiful actresses…Alex Kingston in person is LUMINOUS. Honest to god, she has the grace of a princess and is just stunning)?  We had lunch together and bonded a little over the Dinah Lance thing, she could NOT have been kinder or more gracious.

I don’t flip out over actors, to be honest. I just don’t care about celebrity. But okay, meeting Bombur and River Song, well, I totally lost my composure.

Was it seeing my beloved friends Dee and Cam and Cassandra James again?

Was it all the lovely gifts people brought (art, cake, custom made Birds of Prey shoes and bracelet, badges, chocolates, books, and lots more) just to be sweet?

Was it having lunch with Dave, Alex, and Barbara Eden and finding they were all as charming and lovely as you could possibly hope?

Was it meeting all the lovely people from the trans community who said lovely things about Alysia?

Was it meeting all the wonderful readers who made me feel very welcome and joyful?

Was it getting to see my sister, Nicola Scott again? And sitting between her and Terry and Rachel Dodson in Artist’s Alley?

I don’t know, but it is going to be HARD TO LEAVE AUSTRALIA. YOU PEOPLE ARE FREAKING LOVELY.

Seriously, thank you guys so much for making an Oregon ex-hairdresser feel loved!
