Oz Comic Con

We went to Comic Con just to see Jason Dohring, two Game of Thrones actors, and Arthur Darvill (just me, linds hasn't seen Doctor Who).

We spent over an hour in line and we got so worried we wouldn't be able to get a seat at the stage we needed. Conveniently, everyone we wanted to see were all one after the other on the same stage so we were super lucky. Pretty much, super lucky all around because we got our tickets and went straight in and the stage area we needed wasn't even half full. We got to get some awesome seats and I got to see the panel with another actor I like, Dante Basco. He's mainly a voice actor now and he voiced Zuko in the Last Airbender. And for the next two panels they didn't clear the room so we kept getting better and better seats as people left after each panel.

So, we were super close to the stage for when Jason Dohring came in. He's played in Veronica Mars and guest starred on a lot of shows we watch including, Lie to Me, Supernatural, and Ringer.

He wasn't the best speaker, but we didn't really care too much. I mean, it was Jason Dohring :) He did tell a story about his time on set with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki from Supernatural. Apparently they have a gym in this giant trailer that follows them around to each location (they're super fit) and he said he went to slap Jared on the arm in a 'hey, buddy!' way but he hit him and his arm just reverberated all the way down his arm and up to his shoulder :D

After Jason was the Game of Thrones panel with Daniel Portman (Podrick) and Kristian Nairn (Hodor). They were hilarious. Also, Daniel had the most amazing Scottish accent, sigh.....OH! and Kristian is also a DJ from Ireland, which we hadn't known before.

Unfortunately after the GoT panel we were cleared from the room because they had started a line for Arthur Darvill an hour before his panel, but we just hopped in at the end and went back inside. Of course, we weren't as close as the last three panels but oh well. It was super cool being in the same room as the man who played Rory on Doctor Who. There were also a lot more people cosplaying in Doctor Who outfits than anything else. Too many Weeping Angels for my taste :/

After Arthur's panel we were done with seeing people on stage and we went to walk around the World Exhibition building where all of the booths and vendors were inside. So many people dressed up, we saw a lot of Star Wars outfits, superheroes, villians/monsters, and cosplayers from favorite shows. It was truly an experience. But we had to work the night shift later from 11-5am so we grabbed some lunch after our exploration of the comic con world and went back home for a nap. If we ever get the chance do go to a comic con in the States it would be so worth it :)
