Place: End of Days
Date: May 2-4, 2003

OK so Friday..i went to the convention knowing Vincent was there and it was a huge rush. I couldn't wait to start meeting people! I never saw Vincent until the Opening ceremony on Friday evening but he looked so great! Then he came down to the party at night. He was walking around going to the bar and talking to fans so me and my friends quickly ran out of the disco to see if he really was there, and there he was stood in his dark purple shirt looking all 'Oooo' =). We stopped to hear what he had to say he wasn't crowded but he had a few people talking to him so we waited..and we were all saying how we were nervous and how i was shaking lol

So Then Vinnie turned to us,he said hi to my friend Lee and my other friend Danielle said some stuff to him and he said hi..and smiled and was talking back.He touched Lee's shoulder and was talking and then he went to go walk around more.Later that night Andy,Mark and J were walking around singing on stage and had their own video cameras out to video us all...it was great fun! Vincent came out once in a while on stage..running around and dancing. He is so wild and funny! We were 'Wooing' and laughing at him and all dancing ourselves. Saturday.Some of the gals i was hanging around with had,had their pictures taken with Vincent,I hadn't...not yet.I was having mine taken on Sunday and i was soo excited just couldn't wait! They commented on how nice he was how great he looked..they also got autographs and told me what he said and how he had a head band in his hair while signing...*aww*...they thought he looked funny lol He did his first guest talked and answered questions.He is so sweet.He answered very well and the first thing he said was that he was terrified. EoD was his first convention and he is back next year for Hyperion which is already half way sold out in one day. He was wearing black pants and a white top. Looking good babe lol

Later at night he wasn't out much.He came out for the best auction ever! lol and that was pretty much it for saturday.He was busy signing and doing photos.And his talk.

Sunday...my day for photo.I was in the main hall for the guest talks and my ticket number was called so i queued up where i was supposed to and waited...and waited i was so nervous i was shaking! Just like i had with J,Andy and James Marsters at SFX the previous year..i soo couldn't wait i just wanted to run to him and hug him or something.I went upstairs and there he was..stood infront of the screen wearing a blue and white shirt and blue jeans..wow! I mean he was a dream just like you see him but better.I was third in line.The photographer needed to change the film roll so that was a whole few extra minutes standing there rihgt near him.He looked in our direction a few times looking at us walking to line up..he smiled at me and noticed me.The first two had their photos taken it was all so fast..my turn was up..i was thinking oh god don't mess up!

He grinned at me and i smiled..i put my arm around him and he put his arm around me and pulled me in..he rested his head on mine and asked how i was,i said great thanks how are you and he replied great..it felt so good.Just after the picture was taken he started to rub my back and i looked at him.He smiled,i smiled..then i started to walk as there was more people being rushed into getting photos done ready for his talk that was quite soon..his arm kinda followed me after he rubbed my back.I stopped to get my photo roll number and i saw him again and smiled.He smiled back and then i walked to get my bag..i could tell he was still looking at me for a while.Then i walked and the next fan was called.OMG OMG OMG that's all i could think. My reaction was the same as when we saw him on Friday evening. 'Someone catch me..OMG'. =)

I went to find my friends..they were in the bar and we sat..talked and checked for photos. 3:30pm came along and it was time for Vinnie's talk.We were running late so times had changed and we watched Julie and Juliet's talk.We didn't know everythin had changed but they are two amazing gals!..Their talk was over and Vincent came on stage,photos were being taken and he started to talk and answer questions..during the talk a little 4/5 year old girl went to the microphone with her mum and said hi..it went silent after that.Vincent went on the side of the stage nearest to her and kneeled down.He said hi back and smilied..we all waited for a reply.He just turned around and said aww aren't you the most precious thing.I couldn't believe it i was thinking He's so sweet and aww he had been nice like that to everyone and he had a blast.He explained how despite rumours he was not drunk and he had only had one beer the whole time he was here..we all laughed and he started to be himself.! He said he is just crazy and wild.He really is..he is so funny and is totally crazy! He was running around teh stage trying to get rid of the big screen.He had said he didn't like his face on there and then it zoomed in.They guests can't see the big screen from the stage as it is directly above so we had fun with it.then he decided to be foolish and said 'Do you think it could keep up with me if i do this?' and he ran around the stage ducking and everything..that camera webt wild trying to keep up with him.We just laughed and applauded. The hour had passed and J and Amy eventually came on for their talk.J was a suprise guest.He is so great! I'm glad he came.Vinnie stayed fo rthat talk too so we had him for a whole 2 hours before he was signing autographs again.He shared jokes and stories with J and Amy about things happening on set.He told us his most embarrassing moment *LMAO* he put it greatly made everyone burst out laughing..i was almost crying.And kind of gutted we all! missed it lol.Then we got zoom in shots after he told the story. Still unaware of it we all laughed and he carried on.J did an example of the end scene of 'Reigh of Fire'.It was brilliant! So funny,he said it was nasty and looked so real!At this point Amy was laughing we were lauging and vinnie had his hands over his face and he was jumping up and down too laughing.

The closing ceremony came up..we all could not believe it was the last day! We had such a blast and didn't want it to finish ever! Vinnie came out looking great again and smart.He sat down and then after the ceremony was done all the guests and fans sang 'Oh Mandy' together.Andy had his own microphone and Vinnie was sharing one with Keith Szarabajka.Swaying together they sang and my and my friends stood up swaying and singing..we were the only ones to cheer as much..cheer as loud..do stuff the way we were and stand up so the guests noticed us.The guests left for a private stewards party but us attendees in the room were partying.We all moved near where the guests were sat.I crept and touched Andy's chair..i'm sad like that. I wanted to touch Vinnie's chair but it was too far away and by the time i would have gotten to it they were packing the chairs and extra tables away to give us space.Vincent didn't attend the party that night. Just Andy, Mark, Nicole, J and Brody. The other guests were probably in the green room. We hadn't seen most of them all weekend. Especially Amy and Juliet. They are so shy.

Then at about 1:45am the party was nearly finished and that was it for EoD 2003.The guests came to the balcony and those of us still left in the dance floor moved closer and cheered as J, Mark, Andy and Amy were the ones closest to the balcony.The other guests were leaning against the wall so we couldn't really see them.I saw Vinnie he wasn't talking..just looking over as we were waving our arms as Andy sang..J rapped and they said goodbye.That they had a great time and loved us and Blackpool.And how english fans rock! we all cheered and roared.It was great.I wanted to cry.I didn't want it to be over..ever! Just wanted to be around them.Now the guests are still in Britain but doing other TV projects such as The Saturday Show.Most of us fans talk about the memories..share pictures and stories.We even all have admitted we want to cry because it's over.

Isn't that sweet! I can't wait to meet them all again somehow! I will i am so determind,the Angel cast are different to the buffy cast.they seem more loose and willing to mingle =)

Place: Metro - Darla and Connor - The Mother And Son Signing
Date: June 21, 2003

I knew before going to End of Days that Vincent was going to be at Metro, but I had decided not to go. However, when I returned from my trip I found out that Julie was also going to be at Metro and I flipped! Darla and Connor are super important to me and I just love Julie/Darla so very much that I decided to go almost last minute. I didn't want to go alone, but sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do and since it was a "Mother and Son" event I felt like I needed to be there, plus I wouldn't have to spend the rest of my life lamenting that I didn't go. Much thanks to my sister, Laura.
So I went and saw them together again, which is, sadly, probably the last time I will ever see them:( At End of Days I saw Julie and Vincent standing next to each other, talking, during the closing ceremony. Truly the most perfect and dear moment to me. Wish I had a picture, but I'll keep it in my heart forever.
Julie is absolutely beautiful - just as she always is and Vincent, yikes, he seemed hotter at Metro than he did at End of Days. He is simply beautiful - too yummy (long sigh). They actually remembered me from End of Days so that was a surprise - a pleasant one:) When I went up to Julie she brightly said, "Hi, how are you?!" I was stunned for a few seconds because I wasn't sure if she actually remembered me or she was just saying it as a greeting because it sounded for sure like she remembered me. And she did!!! Julie noticed that I cut my hair since the last time and she liked the new look:) Vincent asked me where I was from again and I told him New York.
