Also, for pre-party, Maya hired a sound designer to have actors do those airport announcements in between songs, so that as people were sitting in the "pre-flight" lounge with their cocktails, a woman's voice would come over the intercom and say, "Paging John Locke. John Locke, please pick up the nearest white courtesy phone..."
Ha! That's awesome.
So of course, the entourages caused the bar bill to exceed expectations, causing us great worry. But the show picked up the whole tab. Just said, "hey, the fans buy these drinks, give us the bill, we're honored to be here."
And that happened quietly, with no fanfare.
The night before, one of the producers stopped by the gathering of fans who went bowling on his way home from a party, and picked up their tab.
And that is double awesome. Major props to them.
Sounds like a wonderful evening. Congrats on a successful shindig, Allyson, and thanks for telling us about it.
I had a good time, Allyson.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Glad it went so well -- it certainly sounds like it was a fun time.
Wow, Allyson, that sounds fantastic. You really know how to throw a shindig. You have a truly magical ability to create a safe and fun space for fans and creators and actors to meet and take pleasure in each other's company. It ain't easy and it could go wrong in so many ways - but it never does when you set it up. Congratulations. Sounds like it was lovely for the fans and for the cast. I bet the cast members who couldn't come will be jealous!
I loved the DVD, the best, I think. The producers filmed the cast saying hello to the fans, saying they wished they could celebrate with us.
I love that.
Sounds like a weekend chock full of good on all fronts. Congratulations.
Oh! It's all so marvelous! I knew Allyson & Kristen would do a hell of a job! But I'm so glad that it went well and that everyone had such a great time. It just sounds amazing. So jealous!
So much fun. And yay, Harold Perrineu and DDK! Hotness!
And yay, World's Hottest Security Team! Hee!
That's just great.
If that's not a lusty look, I don't know what is, so I'm just relieved the man got out in one piece.
::runs like the blazes::
Pictures! No doubt the World's Hottest Security Team. Allyson rocks once again.
