Comic Con Germany, Stuttgart, Juli 2017

[dieastra]

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 ;)

No, you can buy as many photos as you like! And as you can pay. This was over 60 Euro per photo after all. If there is high demand, they may put you into groups, so you don't have to wait in a long line and only come at the time that is for your specific group. Although we still were let in later, that was no problem. And I guess technically they could sell out, in London many photos were sold out, as they know how many they can do in half an hour.

I only had bought one for each day as I am still in the red after the May convention, and since I already have so many with John. I also did not get an autograph this time, which would have been another 50 Euro. In Birmingham at the stage door I can get them for free!

At my first con, one picture was included in the con ticket, but you were able to buy more. I thought, one is enough, and could not understand why anyone would want more. Then I saw the results lying on a table, and understood. John does so many funny poses, with leg up and bum touching and whatever. So at the next con, I knew to buy several ;) So I have touched his bum before actually, in Peterborough. He even grabbed my hands then and put them tighter. You don't need to be shy to ask, it's him that does it ;)

I've also touched the bum in the double sandwich picture with me between John and Gareth, but sadly you cannot see it as the photographer only did a portrait.

Happy you like the dress! All my pictures are always in jeans and t-shirt, I wanted something different this time. I am already dreaming about a dancing pose with Sean...

By the way, fans usually wear cosplays or fandom t-shirts in those photos and actors usually don't, so the more "normal" you dress, the more you look like a star! ;)

Except for John... ;) he is the exception for everything. In Stuttgart it was okay what he wore but in London he had flowery shorts that clashed with everything. And back at the Miracle Day convention those military cargo pants which would have looked very odd with my dress. My plan was to stand in front of him in such a case and hide it that way ;) In Nashville he was back in the flamingo shorts. This man has turned 50 in March! LOL
