Supanova Sunday

Got two more autographs 

• Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica).
• Gil McKinney (Supernatural and Once upon a time).

Then settled in for the afternoon talks.This is spread over two auditoriums but they are not far apart.

• Torri Higginson (Stargate Atlantis)
• Gil McKinnon (Supernatural and Once Upon a Time)
• Louise Brealey (Sherlock and Ripper Street)
• Grant Imahara (Mythbusters)
• He talked about his time at Industrial Light and Magic where he worked with Adam and Tory. 
• Alan Tudyk (Firefly and Dollhouse)
• I hadn't realised how much voice work he has done. He is a very funny man. 

I thought  I might have to miss some of Alan Tudyk's talk but the schedule was slightly wrong and Grant's talk finished 10 minutes before Alan's started so I had plenty of time to get from one auditorium to the other.

Alan Tudyk's talk was the last that interested me so I decided to call it a day.

Brisbane is still cleaning up from the storms last week.

Just getting ready to pack before returning home tomorrow.

I just saw an ad on GEM for the 'Who do you think you are' series which is on Monday night with Jim Parsons. I hope they are showing the same episode in Hobart.

Supanova Saturday

Spent the morning collecting autographs and photo shoots from

• Alan Tudyk (Firefly)
• Louise Brealey (Sherlock)
• Neve McIntosh (Doctor Who)
• Grant Imahara (Mythbusters and Star Trek Continues)
• Victor Webster (Continuum and Mutant X)
• Tahmoh Penikett (Dollhouse and Battlestar Galactica)
• Torri Higginson (Stargate Atlantis)
• Robert Knepper (Stargate Universe)

Grabbed a quick Sandwich in the little cafe in the Convention Centre. No queues compared to the cafe inside the exhibition hall (20 metre long queue). 

Then went to the smaller theatre for the remainder of the afternoon with talks from

Grant Imahara form Mythbusters who talked about hi career at Industrial Light and Magic and Mythbusters. He is a really good speaker. I was going to ask a question but he answered a previous question which also answered mine (About Microcontrollers)

The next talk in the same theatre was Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra). She is a greater entertainer. She kept the audience entertained.

The next was the panel with Tahmoh Penikett and Jamie Bamber talking about Battlestar Galactica. After getting used to Jamie's accent (He is British) rather than the accent he used for Apollo.

Just went to the Grant Imahara. Great talk about his career at ILM and Mythbusters. Now waiting for the start of Neve McIntosh's talk.

Just walked back to the hotel (About 5 minutes) and booked a taxi to go the VIP party this evening.

I am glad the afternoon was all talks as my feet are a bit sore from standing in queues and walking around the convention. I am glad I took Mike's advice about some good walking shoes before I went overseas last year. They are still going strong.

Arrived in Brisbane

My flight out of hobart left 30 minutes late due to the aircraft arriving late after delays in Melbourne.

I arrived in Melbourne at 11:45am and had to catch the 12:05pm flight to Brisbane.

QANTASLink has a nice new ramp for B717 instead of stairs to board the aircraft.

The hotel didn't have my room ready so I stored my luggage and walked down to the convention centre to pick up my tickets.

Got my autograph and photo token for tomorrow and then went to a talk by Torri Higginson and James Kyson about a new show called  Nobility they are working on. They showed a clip and it looks like it might be good.

Went back to the hotel. They had finished preparing the room. Changed and went back down to the convention for the opening ceremony.

Just watching the ABC news about the storms that hit Brisbane yesterday. Glad I didn't fly in yesterday. There is storm debris in the nearby streets.

Off to Brisbane for Supanova

Just having breakfast in the QANTAS Club at Hobart Airport while waiting for my flight to Brisbane for Supanova.
