Re: tonnaree's adventures in 221
When I first got there Sherlock wasn't home so I just left a note.
"Bring John Watson back to 221b"!!

Getting to meet MadLori was a treat. She's a real sweetheart even if she did try to kill us all with Alone on the Water.

Re: tonnaree's adventures in 221
When I first got to the con I felt a bit at lose ends. My friend who was suppose to attend with me had an emergancy at the last minute and couldn't make it.
Thanks to the laides of Three Patch Podcast I wasn't lose for long.
They went all out and set up a FABULOUS cON-SUITE.
All weekend it was a great place to chill, have a snack and commune with fellow fangirls.
If you've never listened to their podcasts you should check them out.

Re: tonnaree's adventures in 221
Highlights
There was a huge Cabin Pressure panel and it was just getting started when one of the convention workers rushed in and started whispering to the panel. Everyone got very quiet. Then the worker turned around, held up her phone and said "I've got John Finnimore on twitter right now and he says he'd love to answer your questions"!!!
Que the roar of the crowd! How cool was that!

There was even some twisting and defusing going on.

Re: tonnaree's adventures in 221
That looks great! Beautiful event!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

The highlight for me was when someone ask him where Herc keeps the sheep hidden.
He replied that Herc couldn't keep it hidden because Carolyn made it part of the bet that he bring it out and put in in a chair everytime they have dinner together.
