evila_elfSlowly, I am getting things posted lol.
Here's Saturday:
We got up at a bit past 6 in the morning. Amy and Michelle grumbled about the partying at Jake's below us, but I had slept through all of it except for a Whooooooo!!! just as I was falling asleep.
For the people who had bought Platinum tickets to the convention, we all got to go on a tour of the Leverage set! Buses (which weren't school buses *sad*), were leaving at 7 on both Saturday and Sunday. We all signed up for Saturday. Another line up, this time outside next to the Hotel's Starbucks which was scheduled to open at 7, right when the buses were due.
Two buses finally showed up. We got on the second one (awww), but we left first (yay!) then we got lost and showed up second (awww). The drive took about a half hour.
Dean Devlin, the show creator, took the first bus of us. We got John Rogers AND Chris Downey, both show producers :D
The two buildings that we went to were really plain looking on the outside:
One of the main things in the first building was John McRoys, the bar:
And the loft/headquarters, home of Old Nate:
Over to the second building, which was pretty much short term sets and where they built new ones.
As we entered, we were greeted with Sophie's gravestone (picture by Michelle):
They paused and had a nice chat about the different sets, even Hardison's van :D Then we all loaded back up on our buses and back to the hotel.
We went to check out the merchandise room sometime after we got back. I bought a character bracelet for each of The Five, a Con-con T-shirt, 2 coasters, a pen, a mug...and I think that was it.
The next panel of interest was a fan panel on an RPG game. Boring, so we left after 10 minutes.
After that, we went to The Magic of Leverage with Kevin Jackson, Mark Franco, and Kai Shelton:
They talked about how the explosions and effects were done.
Then, after a small break, The Five came out :D
(which will be continued in another post because this one is getting long and I am afraid it will accidentally get deleted lol!)
