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.
