Comic Con Germany, Stuttgart, Juli 2017

The only reason to go to this convention was John Barrowman. I did either not know or not care for the others that were there. And I did in general not care for all the comics and comic artists and professional cosplayers. But John alone and his panels were worth the weekend (and some other guy that I will show you yet).

First day I asked for a "nice prom photo" and then John took over. "Stand to the side, put your hand here, put your other hand there..."

Next day I was back in my jeans ;) I had seen this pose at a convention a few years back and it was still missing from my collection. Cheeky ;)

And then we realized that with all our hugs and bum-up-front pictures we actually have none that shows the awesome Dalek Pride shirt John wore. So we went back into line to buy one more picture. My friend was before me and explained what she wanted, and when it was my turn John just asked: "Same?" and I answered: "Same." That's all it took. We are getting very professional there ;)

What great photos, with wonderful stories to go with them! I love them all, although I have a special fondness for the "cheeky" photo -- of course John Barrowman would be up for that!

But the Dalek Pride shirt is awesome, and I've never seen it before! Now I have to find out where I can buy one.

Thank you! I just realized I forgot a story - with the first pic, the camera broke so me, my friend and another girl stood there a while with John, waiting for it to get fixed. He was yawning and very tired (jetlag) and asked the other girl for a shoulder massage. But on the pictures you can't see his tiredness!

We have tried to find the shirt but only found similar ones so far, not this exact one. I wonder if he bought it at the convention. They may have not an online shop. Did you know that Germany got same sex marriage law at the Friday before the con? John talked about it on stage. He said this is actually the fourth time he was in a place when they got the law at the same weekend. He must travel more then ;)
