Vancon 2012 :: Sightseeing in Vancouver

We had a lot of fun yesterday sightseeing on our own around Vancouver BC.  With Teri, Lynn, and Emily - we drove through Stanley Park and made multiple stops so that I could be annoying and take photos.   Upload speed at the hotel is slow, so I won't be posting any sightseeing photos until I get back home.   We also stopped by the pavillion where The Real Ghostbusters was filmed.   We decided we were not going to make a point of finding locations, but we were in the area and it was easy, so we stopped.   We just wanted to relax and enjoy the city.   Later we went to the waterfront and a bit of Gastown before my joints started protesting too much and we headed back to the hotel.

We ate at the Winking Judge Pub near our hotel with Teri, Emily, M, JoAnne, Lynn, Tamara.   We found that Julian Richings (aka Death) was also dining there.   That was cool.

About to post some photos from the Kim Rhodes panel this morning.  They are just about done uploading.

Vancon 2012 :: Kim Rhodes

Kim was adorable and funny and cute - as always.  =D

Here are some of photos I took.  We had time inbetween panels so I randomly selected some to share now.   As the weekend progresses I'm pretty sure I won't have as much time to do this before I return home.

Kim looked fantastic.  Her dress, shorts and boots just looked amazing on her.   My daughter and I had a photo op with her as well.  Kim is from Portland and graduated from the same high school as my husband (a bit later than my husband.)  So in addition to her just being awesome, we feel a bit of a connection with her.

Kim told a cute story about Jared.   Kim's daughter was very much into the Disney movie "Finding Nemo," and so Kim had become used to mimicking the starfish from that movie who was normally stuck to the side of the fish aquarium, but at one point as the starfish was being pulled off the side of the aquarium, the starish would say over and over "finding my happy place, finding my happy place" in somewhat desperate tone of voice.  Kim mimicked that by flailing her arms out like a starfish being pried off the side of the aquarium.  She had done this once in front of Jared when she was stressed during a scene.  Jared had no clue what she was doing nor what she was referring to when she tried to explain it.   But later during a scene together when Kim flubbed something up, Jared mimicked the starfish being pulled off the tank and saying "finding my happy place, finding my happy place."   =D  And Kim of course, mimicked Jared doing that.   I have photos of it, but those will have to wait until I return home.
