First thing? Hats off to everyone at the Stonewall Inn--and to the organizers of the event, and to the EKP ladies who are clearly the best women on the planet (and they are infinitely patient).
So a few shots and some blathering.
Igor Dolgatschew pinned me in front of the historic Stonewall Inn
(See the tiny blue pin on my collar?)

(See the tiny blue pin on my collar?)

Igor, Gregory, Hal, Dennis, Felix, Thore, Jo, Scott
These guys were all, each and every one of them, marvelous. And Hal Sparks ruled the day with his intelligence and humor. xxx
BTW--Felix? (center with scarf next to my very hot looking nfgBF sporting his own blue Eskimo Kiss pin) Show of hands--Who didn't want to put Felix in their pocket and take him home? What a sweetheart.
Lots of panels (six in all) and lots of chatting between them.
And finally--just wanted to give a shout out to Brent Magee. He was a kindred spirit and his wit and funny asides kept me in stitches. xxxx Brent. You're the best. Thanks for putting up with me
My favorite moment during the panels--and there were many many wonderful moments--was one I walked in on late because LB is too jiggly to sit in a dimly lit room all day. I kept leaping up to stretch my legs because I get antsy--I think I only missed one panel (FYI) but missed the start of two. Anywho-- I walked in to a passionate voice--Igor. The upshot was one actor stated he was just doing his job. And Igor? He really drove home to every Eskimo boy and girl in the room exactly why the De/Ro pairing works so well. Chemistry and fondness. He is brimming with personality and energy, that young man is. Wow. Brilliant. Mr. Passionate. And so present. Dennis G was moderating the panel-- and the connection between those two? Very shiny indeed.
You just know the writers ::coughTomcough:: are going to fuck with us soon. Can't wait.
And then I wandered to find more coffee.
BTW one of the highlights of the entire weekend was chatting with Tom, a writer for AWZ. Apparently there are two teams of writers--story line and dialog. And when I mentioned how fitting the music was to each scene, he explained that the producer hand selects the songs. Spot on.
This photo lifted from here. I'd draw a big heart around Tom--but I'm supposed to be editing right now. Big hug to the WRITER. WOOT!
And finally--just wanted to give a shout out to Brent Magee. He was a kindred spirit and his wit and funny asides kept me in stitches. xxxx Brent. You're the best. Thanks for putting up with me

PS-
My phone just arrived by Fed Ex. Closure at last. Three days without my phone? Agony.
