Can you spot me?  I'm wearing aviator glasses and a flightsuit.  Atlanta in August.  I think I sweated off 10 pounds.

Dr. Who fans, how cool is this!!!??

Invitations given out to the BSG celebrities on Friday.  I was decorations coordinator and I made them.


Me and my friend Kristen doing party setup.  TERRIBLE picture of me.

Before the doors opened.

During the party- Tahmoh Penikett and Aaron Douglas also known as Helo and Chief from BSG.  *Swoon*

All the volunteers, and a few people who snuck onstage.  Roll Eyes  I'm on the left of the shot in a tan uniform.  Yep, that's Tahmoh Penikett (Helo) and James Callis (Baltar) to the left of me.  Richard Hatch (Zarek) on the floor in front and Edward James Olmos (ADAMA!) in the center!  Shocked Cool  Aaron Douglas (Chief) and Michael Hogan (Colonel Tigh) were also there, but missed the photo.  I mingled in the VIP area and didn't go all fan girl on anyone.  ROFL!

Party on the 10th floor of the Mariott.  I have no idea who I'm on the phone with.


A few more photos to come.  I'm waiting for them to be posted since they are on someone elses camera.

Wanted so badly to go to Shindig & Fleet party, but stupid damned Marriott hotel security never showed up to my room to investigate my noise complaint until 3 1/2 hours after I reported it AND I couldn't go anywhere until they showed.  Phoned hotel @ 9:30P, 10, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30A & security knocked on my door @ 1A.  By the time I gave up on them coming back to let me know what they'd found or calling me with an update it was 2A.

I was NOT impressed with Marriot security either.  Someone at our 10th floor party on Friday night accidently let a ballon go over the railing, and the way security reacted, you would have thought he dropped a pipe bomb.  3 security guys stood there watching us for about an hour afterwards.

Anyway, I'm so sorry you missed the party.  It was EPIC!  I have WAY too many photos to post, so here's a link to my photobucket page.

LOL!  The bowls were some sort of community bra.  They got passed around and more guys than girls were wearing them.  ROFL!


The painted woman was indeed, painted.  She was wearing a g-string and pasties, but the strange thing was that she showed up in the middle of the afternoon.  Usually those costumes don't come out until after dark.  Shocked

Nope, Cindy.  That is definately NOT Phil.  ROFL!
