Or at least so far.
I mean Dragon*Con was awesome and all but this one hit a more personal level of win.
First of all I went up to Perform Repo! up there with Midnight Cinema. We had been preparing and getting closest to screen actuate as we could manage. I went up Friday, even though Thursday we had a rehersal. I had classes but hey, you do what you have to do. I got up there and dressed out as a Gentern and went around premoting the show as we needed to. Sold prop bags and everything.
Got time for the show and we headed in to set up. Took a little bit to do so but it all was going over well. Bill Moseley, who plays Luigi in Repo if you've been living under a rock, happened to come back stage. Bill, Terrance Zdunich, Darren Smith and J. Larose were all introducing us. Once I was ready I actually had a chance to talk to Bill Moseley. For those of you who also don't know... Luigi is my favorite character in that show and I understudy him. So getting to talk to Bill was freaking amazing.
We had a ten minuet conversation about acting in general. He said just to never let my imagination die. Basically, even if some things are in the script you ca fill stuff in that isn't explained, without being told. He apperentally reads the script a few times and then just sits and closes his eyes and lets his imagination just take over. It was really nice advice. I also asked him where he though Luigi's scars came from. I had previously asked Terrance about that but he didn't actually ever say for sure. Said maybe from fights because of his anger and Bill agreed with that as well as he was possibly a bit of a mashocistic bastard.
I had explained my idea of Luigi possibly having Cystic Fibrosis or something similar and Bill said he liked the idea, Terrance said the same. It was awesome to get the okay for my own ideas by the creator and portrayer of my favorite character right before the show. It was such a fantastic feeling.
The introduction was fun. Bill quoted Luigi's opening verse of Mark it Up
We finished and packed up after a few pictures for people and headed back to hotel rooms to change for the pool party. That shit was awesome. Darren came for a wile and there was a Michael Myers who was stalking around. Some crazy antics did follow though. I mean... sex in the pool and two people going to the hospital because they drank too much. However everything did turn out alright in the end, which is good. I'd have hated to see anything bad happen.
I think I slept a total of two and a half hours that night before waking up for the next day. I was dressed as Luigi that day and went and got Coffee like a good little fangirl. we hung out at the table and walked around the dealers room. I eventually had to go help Terrance out and just take money and such. Wile doing that we were also talking to Darren. A new Largo child was created for Steve.
Steve Largo, who happens to be the child of Rotti's first wife and the Band leader. After he was born Rotti killed his wife, this why Luigi lacks a mom. He was born on October 9th 2009. It was pretty awesome, we talked about it all night and joked with Darren.
We had the Repo pannel and we asked a few questions. I asked their favorite lines and all I can recall is Bill misquoting Luigi by saying "What's this Decaf!? I WILL STAB YOU IN THE FACE!!" which I got a kick out of. As far as role reversal with gender he said he'd like to play Amber 'cause she was hot, so I got some points on Luigi wanting his sister XD. I also got to eat Lunch with Terrance Mel and Steve that night. Just the four of us. After that we went out to eat with the cast and Darren. God I had a blast. I mean we invented Penis Bacon and I <
Last day was also pretty epic. I went and got Bill's signature and also compared coffee sizes with him. Mine was bigger 'cause I was sharing with Jeanna. I was also sitting with Terrance wile the shadowcast pannel was going on. I didn't mind missing it and I got to hang with Terrance. I was still dressed as Luigi since I needed to take my cosplay pics with Jeanna. Took them by the well named Largo Room. You can see them here: [link] Pics of me with Bill are there as well.
At one point Bill Moseley came over and tapped me and was like "Hey, Luigi, want to watch my table for me wile I go eat lunch." I of course jumped the chance. So I was his stand in for a bit. He gave me some water, I like the fan I am still have the bottle. Terrance came and talked to me over there. I think someone though I was Bill for a moment when I was looking down because they looked disappointed when I looked up again. He came back and gave me a hug and thanked me. Was pretty freaking epic.
After that I stayed with Terrance a little more and waited for Steve to get out of the poker game he was playing. He ended up in third place! I was so proud of him. After that we figured we should go so we said goodbye to everyone. Bill gave me a pretty fantastic hug and we went by our table. I had a pretty good trip home, heard Nikko and Sam came in third in the costume contest which is brilliant.
Steve and I took the Thankless Job victim home to Paradiso before he brought me home. I had a blast in the ride, though it was cramped. Over all the con was fucking brilliant. I miss being there so bad but I just get to look foward to it again next year.
Thanks for a great Time Everyone
Cheers
