Ok, ive been back from pegasus 2 for a week now, so i thought i would finally stop sleeping and comment on it!

i arrived at the hotel, met the oh so bitchy staff that we had for the weekend, and found the way to mine and [info]velven's room, which smelt like someone old had died in there! and we didnt even have a window which opened! suffice to say i really wasnt happy with the accomodations, but we were there to see David, so we would have to cope!

[info]velven's plane landed at 4.15 pm and we had to be in central london for the showing at 6.30pm (the hotel and convention being in heathrow), so we thought 2 hours would be plenty of time to get to the showing. Well, thats when everything started to go wrong!

we got a taxi from the hotel and they said it would take about an hour. we got onto the motorway when we found out we really should have taken the train; one lane was already closed and 3 cars had broken down. suffice to say i really thought we were going to miss it. I also think our taxi driver is going to be needing therapy after that drive, coz we were screaming at cars to get out of the way, traffic lights to change and yelling at people who were crossing the roads! 

At 6.25pm we were finally in london centre but still a mile off the odeon cinema, and stuck at another set of traffic lights. So we decided to get out and run. However we had literally no idea where the cinema was, apart from which road it was down. So after running across roads (im so suprised we didnt get run over!), yelling to people to let us through and asking people outside of clubs where the odeon was, we finally made it at 6.33pm! I really couldnt believe it!

[info]velven was trying to figure out where we were suposed to be when i saw David standing outside one of the screens. He looked so happy and excited! we had a quick chat with him telling him we had just run a mile and i managed to tell him i hated him! but then didnt finish the rest of my sentence coz we were told it had started and we had best go find some seats. it was only once we had sat down i realised i had just told david hewlett i hated him! oh well! (i did appologise at the convention and we had a laugh about it!).

The film was totally awesome, and i recommend eveyone to go and see it! even if you just go to see david naked and paul mcgillion dressed as a woman! its hilarious!

afterwards there was a little Q+A session and david was pleased with the reaction the film got. i managed to get some pictures but they didnt come out that well coz i was a few rows back and it was dark. ive asked [info]muffin if i can nick hers coz theyve come out great!
we all got chucked out fairly quickly after that coz someone else needed the screen, so we managed to get a quick 'that was great' to david and then left to go find food in pizza hut. and met some new friends in the toilets!


ive got to get ready for a lecture, so i'll see if i can clean up some of the photos and put them up later, and also do a con report for those that didnt get to go. later!
