elderwitty | 2011 Chicago Con report (Sunday part two - David solo, the David & Joe Show, pt. 1)

First of all, I'm sorry for the ridiculous number of photos (actually, I'm not). There will be a total of about NINETY, but I can't help it - they're just so damn photogenic! (Be sure to stay tuned to the very end, wherein Joe Flanigan is apparently smuggling tobacco products.)

David Hewlett

This will be the lamest report ever, because I remember next to nothing. He was cute, and clever, and charming, but it’s all a blur. I’m counting on the transcript (my next assignment) to jog my memory. I’ll link it from here when it’s done. (It may be weeks, especially with the upcoming job hunt.)

He asked how many of us had seen Conan, and was surprised when it was so few. Someone shouted, “Because we’re here!” to clear it up for him. :grin:

I do remember that someone asked what he’d change if he had a time machine, and he said he’d prevent Joe’s birth. Then he changed it to being at the birth, but raising him as his own feral child. And suddenly there were chocolates flying over the screen from backstage. Say it ain’t so, Joe! (That’s just a vicious waste of sweet goodness.)

Good David Jeckyll

Bad David Hyde (I want to see him play a villain.)

Shortly thereafter, Joe joined him onstage, bringing us to

The David and Joe Show

They were asked to pose by the Stargate segment. David did a bendy, and Joe started to straddle it, but decided to mime peeing on it/David instead.

Posing at the Gate. He's slinking right at us!

I don't remember why Joe was laughing, but David's reaction was plainly, "What are you on?"

Joe's rebuttal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "No, really. I'm asking what you're on."

They told the familiar (but funny) story of a grumpy David driving home, with Joe and Jason coming up behind in Joe's truck. Jason decided to moon David at a stoplight.
