Just wanted to say loved your report, brought back a lot of great memories from the weekend. I always say to myself I'm gonna do a write up, but my memory is so bad I'd always forget all the important things.
That said, re Rick at the party, i kind of understand where you're coming from in the embarrassing line, but in his defence some people were buying him ALOT of drinks and I think he was getting steadily drunk the longer he stayed. I seemed to be one of the ones he got on well with that day/night & he mentioned that apparently some fans invited HIM to their room for an 'afterparty' which he then invited me to (i politely declined lol, as i didnt know the girls & safe to say I'd be pissed if some random turned up at my room for a party lol, so gave them the same courtesy.) Turned out he declined too afterwards from what I can gather, just FYI. Before fandom goes wild & blows everything out of proportion!
I think the main thing about Rick was that he was quietly naive about his first con & didn't think it was all that bad to stay and get drunk with the attendees & do some dancing. Safe to say, we all saw he was more than happy to stick around & talk to everyone & have a laugh, & i gotta say I actually really respected him for that tbh. Not all guests are as down to earth as that.
Not having a go at all, just felt the need to sort of clarify things RE Rick. To me, he WAS a gentleman, just a little bit of a tipsy one! :-D
Also, how scarily alike Jared did Matt look in that Sam wig?! That poorly lit room, the beard, the hair... i was O_O!!!
