Ok, I'm up and no one else is...  It's 11 at home and 8 here ugh.  I feel like I could go back to sleep but every time I get in bed it doesn't happen.  Ah well.  I called Will last night and thanked him for making me watch ACC basketball.  It was a great way to ease into conversation with Marc & Bai -> they seem overwhelmed when fans get wiggy on them.  (Hehe.  I said wiggy.  Hehe.)  I think -> should be added to the canon of punctuation.  See?  Lack of sleep + excitement = silly Kiba...

This is degenerating into random silliness but I don't know what else to do...

Random PBP weekend drawing, ballpoint pen [does not equal] good medium for me.  #2 pencil all the way baby.

Flamey, do you promise to watch Amber Benson in movies and on TV, for richer or poorer, through good scripts and bad, regardless of her hair color, accent or none, award nomination, and B-movie, til bankruptcy do you part?

Amber, do you promise to be in movies and on TV so that Extra Flamey can watch you, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, through edits and union strikes, regardless of producer, role, and makeup, til old age do you in?

I now pronounce you fan and goddess.  You may now hug the VIP.

Beginning
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bring these two people together in holy theatrimony.

^We didn't get to do this, but Flamey did give Amber a beautiful necklace which she wears.

So I got to the PBP 6:30ish I think and hung about, saying hello to people and such.  I got to talk to Doug Petrie (my favorite), Danny Strong about the website...

I was wearing my super-duper Joss isa Hottie hat and got David Greenwalt to sign my Teacher's Pet script...  He wanted a at.  I told Dirty Socks and she gave up her chance at a hat to get one so Greenwalt could have one.

I got a prime spot right by the stage to hear Tony sing - I mean, I was IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE.  So, mid-song,
 

Andy sings when Tony's done and I get eye contact from him.  I'm jammin', despite my lack of dancin' skilz.

I hang around for FSM to play, get bored, and go in search of Kai so I can give her a hat.  I find her and she's SO nice -> I'm tinking she must like me quite a bit!  So there's a beautiful person next to me and I look closer and it's
 

I go right up to her, put my arm around her and start talking to her about Extra Flamey.  She is an absolute goddess and totally excited about the necklace Flamey gave her.

D'oh!  Backtrack-- 

The VIPs are up and presenting the check to the Make a Wish foundation...  and Danny waves at me, Joss smiles and mouths "Hi."  Eek much?  All the VIPs are checking out the hat.  As they send the VIPs offstage, Joss comes down to see me.  He takes both my hands in his, looks me in the eye, and talks to me about the hat (how great it was to see Greenwalt in one) and why he hasn't e'd me lately (he's been working on some TV show...  *wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more* and is just generally adorable...  He goes back up to get in the check for Make-a-Wish pictures and we -> me & TAK call Alexis down to talk to Dirty Socks.  He's absolutely charming.  He steals my hat and puts it on Joss for the pictures after complimenting me on it...  Then returns it.  (He's so sweet!)

greeneyes stole my at and ran around the American Legion Hall with it.

*So, let's return to FSM's performance after I talked to Kai and Amber*

They played, I danced....  (By the way, Joss was looking hot in blacks, I must say.)  FSM called James out for "Pain," a song which he wrote, and surrender.  He is of course incredibly sexy and beautiful AND is wearing pants with a lace-up fly...  Plan to get nekkid much?

After the official festivities ended, I managed to snag Michelle Trachtenberg for discussion of the hats, an autograph for Mary, and a picture.

I then, by order of greeneyes and Kai, had many Joss-Kai-me pictures taken.

I got to talk to Joss more, had him sign this book and my WttH/arvest script....  Discussed the fact that his dad lives in my hometown, and he said next time he comes to visit he'll take me out for tea.  Sigh.

Eventually he had to go, so he gave me yet another huge hug and then a 

That's all I can remember now...  I'm sure there'll be more...

Ok...  now that I've had some sleep, I think I'm slightly more coherent.  I want to talk about the emotions that went along with the events.

I adore Joss, ever so much...  REALLY.  He and Kai were bothj ust incredibly wonderful...  There aren't words.  But I felt so friendly with them, so very very real.  (Though that's true of many of the VIPs I met, it's even more so of them.)  I really feel that if I wrote them and said "Hey I'm coming to LA, wanna get together?" they'd say yes.  TOTALLY bizarre.  I mean, Joss held my hands.  He gave me a kiss on the cheek.  These are not idle fan-star things.  He lobes me!  ("And to my amazement I lobe it, knowing that he lobes me")

Still more...

I never received my PBP credentials so I e-mailed Morbius about it and asked him to have an extra set on hand at the hotel.  He did, but apparently someone - not me, mind you - went and picked them up on my behalf and never gave them to me.  While I was grupy about it at the time, I'm too glowy now from my Jossily goodness to mind at all.
