Well, I'm hoping that he comes back very pissed off.

OH MY GOD! The VIVIDCON! It rocked so hard!! And I got to hang out with Katie and Theodosia and Nestra and Shrift and Micole and S.A.! Wheee!

Ahem. Sorry. Still a little bit high. It was enormous fun to watch Stargate with fellow fans--I think we all liked Avatar a great deal, especially the part where someone had to go into the game to help out Teal'c and Jack & Daniel & Sam all went, "I'll go." in unison. Awww!

I had my expectations set low--I was gonna be OK as long as it didn't suck and blow as hard as that atrocious XF VR episode, "First Person Shooter", and let me tell you, very few things can top... err, I mean bottom that episode. So I was pleasantly surprised that we got a nice little Teal'c character study and adorable team bonding moments.

The Atlantis ep was pretty awful, I thought. Some cute McKay bits. And it was nice to see Elliott again after "Last Stand", but that was about it. Still can't abide Teyla. I think a large part of that is her pink hair.

After we watched the episodes, we talked until wee hours of the night about Stargate, but I can't remember a single thing we talked about. My brain has dribbled out of my ears from sensory overload and fatigue.

Oh, by the way, there was a JOAN OF ARCADIA Vid during the premiere show that made me so happy that I nearly died. Katie can attest to how excited I was at the end of it--I was bouncing off my seat, yelling, "Oh my God! It was like they made the vid especially for me! Wheee!". It was done by Seah and Margie, who made the fabulous Odyssey Five Vid, "Haunted", and they had the most perfect song EVER for the vid, and there was just so much sheer joy in that vid that my heart nearly burst out of my chest in happiness. I can't wait for Seah and Margie to put the vid online so that I spread the love.

Now, I have to go off and get more coffee.

Seah & Margie actually had two Joan vids -- one was a character piece about Mr. Girardi which was quite moving -- and then they had a perfect recruitment vid in the one Vonnie mentions.

There was also a Wesley/Lilah vid that was sheer perfection. And lots more Angel vids, all of them worthwhile, including one done to a rap that I have to see again soonest so that I can try decoding the rapid wordage, what I could make out seemed extremely apt.

And several Stargate vids, including one by Destina that I want to see about 30 times in a row so that I can revel in the sheer number of iconic character moments she picked out, and how they all add up to a team portrait -- I felt there were subtle complex ideas on offer there.

But mostly just... guh! t head explodes

Oh, and who was it who had the charming and oh-so-gay Smallville vid? Must find my program...

I hate you all.

So, where do we sign up to get the Vividcon dvds? And if you tell me they're not doing them I'll be forced to undertake desperate measures.

Of course they're doing them. I'd keep an eye on the website for ordering information.

one was a character piece about Mr. Girardi which was quite moving

Oh yeah. That was very affecting, although I must admit I went, "man, if we were to have a character vid, why couldn't it have been a Grace vid? Or a Luke one?", 'cause... yeah, I am not biased at all. No, sir. *cough* Then I saw "Big Red Boat" (the one I was talking about before) and the first vid kind of got drowned in my mind from all the squee. I need to watch it again. Actually, I need to rewatch all the premiere vids. Especially the Gwyneth's drop-dead-gorgeous Wes/Lilah vid, both Lum & Here's Luck's Firefly vids for compare & contrast, Sisabet's Angel vid to rap as Theo mentioned, Laura & Killa's Scully character vid that just blew my mind (Consuela *really* needs to watch this), shalott's Witchblade vid and oh yeah. Destina's OT4 Stargate vid that just made me go, eeeeee!

Oh, and who was it who had the charming and oh-so-gay Smallville vid?

Dude, there were all oh-so-gay. You're probably thinking of Merry Lynne's "I Just Wanna Take You Home" that opened the premiere show, although the same description could be applied to this really adorable Clark/Lex vid in the Illustrating Relationship vidshow set to a Tracy Chapman song.

Oh, and this vidder I'd never heard of called Permetaform made a "The Ring" vid that had us all whimper in awe and fear. She put it up for download here if anyone wants to check it out. Warning: 1) it spoils the movie, ALL the way, and 2) it's fabulously creepy.

I can't remember a single thing we talked about.

I know we discussed whether or not the Tollans would share advanced sex toy technology. (I believe the decision was No.)

Katie can attest to how excited I was at the end of it--I was bouncing off my seat, yelling, "Oh my God! It was like they made the vid especially for me! Wheee!".

This is true. Of course, she was doing that as soon as she saw there even was a JoA vid, so... but I liked the vid too, and I very much want to see it again, because I didn't really start liking it until about a third of the way in. I cannot believe how much some people can pick up on one viewing. I'm lucky if I can decide whether or not I like a vid that fast.

The funny thing about the Joan vids is that the standout challenge vid was from The Ring, which included both Amber Tamblyn and kid-who-played-Rocky. It was all Noooooo, Joan! Don't watch the tape! God needs you to live!

Oh, and who was it who had the charming and oh-so-gay Smallville vid? Must find my program...

I Just Wanna Take You Home? The one that kicked off Premieres? That was Merry Lynne. (No, I don't remember that; the program's still in my bag.)

why couldn't it have been a Grace vid?

Yes. We agreed on this. Grace must have a vid.

although the same description could be applied to this really adorable Clark/Lex vid in the Illustrating Relationship vidshow set to a Tracy Chapman song.

This one. Merry's was cute, but "You're the One" (which I think was the title) charmed me. So gay! All the eyefucks! The interesting thing is that the same vidder had another Smallville vid in Premieres that really didn't work for me.
