So, fellow FRINGE fans, I checked my twitter today and got wind that FRINGE is filming in Gastown today. So I decided to mosey on down there to check it out! Here's how it all went down!


Just got there. About 6pm. (I'm standing behind the police line). Meet these super nerdy freaky gamer Fringe freaks, who had screencaps printed out on glossy photo paper for them to sign. FREAKY. Anyways. So them black vans start rolling up!


Josh arrived with John I do believe... So while those NERDYFREAKS were occupied with John (WALTER), I accosted Josh (PETER), who might I add is ultra cute and nice. 8D So as those NERDYFREAKS turned to Josh (PETER), I asked John (WALTER) for a picture as well. I FEEL SHORT NEXT TO HIM OTL.


And I told John (WALTER) that I loved him in LOTR (he was Lord Denathor, crazy guy who fell off a cliff while on fire in the third movie). He thanked me of course. Anna's (OLIVIA) shuttle came about 5 minutes later but she was running late so she didn't have time to stop and hang around.



So they start filming and they did 4 or 5 takes of this part where they're arriving at the scene. Blurry pics cause my zoom on the point and shoot sucks in the dark. So they start filming and I start talking to one of the extras and found out how to be an extra (I heard they were paid $500 for Fringe). And at one point, at around 7:30, after standing in the cold for an hour and a half, I lose feeling in my toes... SO I went up to Starbucks for a coffee to warm me up. By the time I get back, the extras were gone, so I start talking to this PR guy (dude who tells passerbys what's going down and shit, public relations) and made friends with him lol. So nothing's happening for a good while (they're filming, I can't do anything but watch).



At one point, they had to wheel the 'corpse' inside for the scene but before it got in, I got to take pics with it! It was made out of silicon and it jiggled. xD OM NOM NOM NOM. Moving on~~

SO, as I was talking with the PR guy, one of the boss dudes (AWESOME dude named MIKE BISHOP [lol at Bishop]) comes over and chats with us.

He's like "Wow, you've been here awhile, would you like some tea or coffee?"
I was like "OMG ARE YOU SURE? DON'T WANT TO TROUBLE YOU!!!"
He's all like "DUDE, npnp" and I ended up getting another hot drink (TEA).
Then he's all like, so, you here for autographs/what?
I told him I got pics with John (WALTER) and Josh (PETER) but didn't get Anna (OLIVIA) or Lance (BROYLES) and was waiting for them to take a break and come out.
So he's all like, "Well, if I see them hanging around, I'll send them your way!"

At first, I thought he was just saying that but he seriously did!!! So I'm just standing around and he walks up from the scene and gestures at me to follow him. So I did. He told me Lance (BROYLES) had a moment in this tent in the corner and to get my camera ready.


I take a pic with him and thanks him. He's very easy going and likes to laugh IRL unlike BROYLES lol, who is all serious. And then Josh (PETER) takes a break and walks towards the edge of the 'set'. I didn't have anything for him to sign earlier but now... TEA CUP!


"Enjoy" He writes. Lol. He's super nice about it. xD The pen I brought died on me for a bit so he borrowed a sharpie from NERDYFREAK dude lol. His comment about my pen was that "it was so cold, it'd gone home for the night". He's adorable. So I go back to my original spot, more waiting/chatting with PR dude/watching them film.


They've moved to the doorway by now lol. After a couple more takes, Anna (OLIVIA) finally has a moment and Mike brings her over, just on the edge of the 'set', not but quite off the 'set' just yet, couple meters away.



I only had my pen this time, and she had to scribble a bit to get the ink working again lol. She's super awesome and she apologized and thanked me for waiting so long. I love her <3. She was actually really surprised when I asked her to sign my TEA CUP, like a little "WAA?" haha, it was cute <3.

And since we were still technically 'on set', the NERDYFREAKS didn't come and accost her, they tried and failed cause they were at the edge (so off the) set, trying to get her attention but FAILED. HA. So I got some Anna (OLIVIA) and they didn't cause she walked away after that. HA. This totally made my week. I profusely thanked MIKE for being so nice to me (since I was the only one that he did this for haha) and said goodbye to PR friend and left cause MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 8Db

IT'S OFFICIAL. Fringe cast and crew are the nicest ppl. EVER. lol.

This was how I spent 3 hours of my life tonight. I missed this week's Fringe for this lol.

I am seriously not going back next year if there are no good guests. WHY?

EDIT: ok... maybe not 95%.. more like 90%

CAUSE FUCKING 90% OF AMERICAN CON GOERS FUCKING SUCK.


There are good people, yes of course. But honestly.... 90% is a percentage that I just can't deal with.

I met some really nice awesome Americans though!!
CASSIE
DANIELLE
MATTHEW
The GIN was super cute and SUPER nice~
That really tall Tsuna 8'D
The Millifore we met were all nice too! (GET BACK TO WORK SPANNER)
The really pretty Konan...
CASSIE'S FRIEND! I'm afraid I don't know your name... But I felt so bad for hitting you so much at the Giru live... <3
Cassie's other friends... <3 thanks for letting me invade your room so late 8'D
The super hot male!Sebatian
and the SUPER NICE SHINKU that lent us the use of her box!!! <3
I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS!!!!

Of course... the Canadians... <33333 Sarah, Julian, Scott, and Mia 8Dbbbb Everyone else from Van-city that I knew before 8Dbbbbb and of course KISUKAITE FROM DA 8DD


Then there are the really BAD Americans I (or my friends) ran into D8...
That one girl who zoomed up to me and hugged with without asking and said "you been captured."
The people who hugged with without ASKING.
That one girl at the Giru concert who thought she could push me around cause I'm a tiny asian compared to her.
The guy that said in a Wapanese voice "KA-I-RI, SO KA-WA-II"
The American fans that don't know furi(tsuke) or anything of that sort... and say WE'RE idiots for doing it.
The idiots at the BACK of the Giru concert 'mosh pit' where they actually moshed and stripped and whatnot retarded crap.
The idiots at the Giru concert who thought it would be good to shout "FUCK YEA GIRUGAMESH" erm NO DUDE D8... RESPECT
The creepy pople who came up to us and TALKED TO US as if we're their friends... D8
The idiots who CAN'T RECOGNIZE ANNA D8... and kept on calling her Kadaj or whatever.
The people who take pictures of you when you're not looking and without asking because they're too shy or whatever to ask for some. DUDE. ASK! We'll most likely say yes and you'll get better pictures.
THE IDIOT SCON STAFF FOR COORDINATED THE AUTOGRAPH LINE UP RIGHT AFTER THE GIRU CONCERT. You guys can go fucking die in a fucking ditch cause you're all so fucking stupid. GOD.
That creepy pimp dude I had to hid Nicole from with my fucking SLEEVE.
That creepy dude who stroked Nicole's arm.
That other creepy dude who patted Alice on the head at the rave. WTF?!
The people who fucking rubbed off Sara's Dino tattoos cause they have no FUCKING RESPECT.
and the general people WHO STARED AT US... FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES because we were fucking ASIAN. D8
ALSO... the people who don't put any effort into their cosplay... THEN TURN AROUND TO DISS OTHER PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORKED SO FUCKING HARD TO FINISH THEIR COSPLAYS. Dude... those people should take a good look at themselves first. GOD.


That concludes my rant. I really really HATE attending any Jrock concerts in the US now. Fucking hate it.

Edit:
Cassie brought up some good points but I would like to say that honestly... There's a lack of respect at SCon going around. I'm not saying everyone is like that, but a large percentage of people I ran into did not leave me with a good impression. Maybe it's cause I'm used to AE where everyone is so nice and I never get pissed off. Scared, yes. Seriously pissed like now, no.

LOL so I actually went this year, not like 2008 -cough cough-

Day 0 - Thursday
Wow. It took us like 5 fucking hours to get to our hotel in Seattle. We stayed at the Renaissance on 6th and Madison. Our bus took us to 3rd and Marion and um, WE FREAKING WALKED FROM 3RD TO 6TH... ALL FUCKING UPHILL. Not like gentle slope uphill people... it was like freaking QE park D8. Ok, by the time we got settled down, we're completely DEAD. Lo and behold Jeff and Alice have to finish their cosplay. We all stayed up till 4 ish just watching them finish and lying on the beds laughing. Speaking of BEDS.... 3 people to a double bed is not comfy... D8 AND BEN NEARLY POKED MY EYE OUT WITH HIS HAIR THE FIRST NIGHT D8.

Day 1 - Friday
Woke up with a leg cramp. D8. We all got up at like 7-8 ish to get ready. Got there at 10. I took a look at the pre-reg line and the one thing I thought was, "... FML". It was hella long. Longer than AE's long long line up. So we lined up. Ppl kept looking at us. We were that badass 8D. Anyways, we got our passes. Sara and I spent the next.. 2 hours running around looking for people we knew. Why? We wanted their event passes for the Girugamesh concert. We wanted everyone in our room to be able to go. But in the end, Alice, Ben, Jeff, and Nicole went and gamed instead. I felt so bad D8. (Due to the fact that for one room, we can only get 4 event passes -cough-room stuffing-cough-)
 
 

GIRUGAMESH
It was... fucking AMAZING. At first the Slants played D8. The vocalist was ok... but dude... he licked the freaking guitarist/bassist's sweaty face.... EW. Anyways. Everyone was really pumped for Giru. Right before they came on, the really anal SCon staff told us to move back. Unfortunately... I was standing behind two chicks... TWICE MY SIZE (width wise... not 10 feet tall lol). I was nearly SQUISHED to death D8. I managed to elbow my way to the near (2-3 infront of me) front (I was like 6 or 7 people from the front), stabbed a girl with my hairclip too lol. She was pretty pushy and shoved me around alot too... or else, I wouldn't have. They played Break Down and then Ultimate 4. The rest, I honestly don't remember the order. But honestly... American fans suck. D8. They don't even know furi(tsuke). I gave up on doing a lot of the furi half the time >_>. Then... they go off the stage. God, they don't even know what to shout... Some people are like GIRUGAMESH, and some people are like EN-CORE!. We were honestly the only ones saying EN-CO-RE. I screamed myself raw. They came back on back they heard the en-co-re. They played Owari to Mirai. I LOVE this song and ended up doing furi for this WHOLE song. My arms were so SORE! Ryo-chan's smile was so cute, especially when he sang along with Satoshi. Speaking of Satoshi... he's got a really really amazing stage presence. Nil and Shuu were so cute too when they were playing together. After the con, we went to get our autographs. Thankfully I bought a CD earlier. I got the booklet signed and sneaked a whole bunch of photos. -cough-ALLEN-cough- During the lineup, I met Sarah, Julian, and Scott. Sarah had such a cute outfit~

After this... We went back to the hotel (didn't eat dinner) and went hot tubbing. I'm so glad I did so. My feet were SO SORE. Took lots of pics of Nicole/Alice getting dunked and whatnot. And of Alice pole dancing! 8D Afterwards, Jeff and I walked over to the Red Lion to borrow a glue gun from Cassie (THANKS SO MUCH <33) I got back pretty late... at 2:30. Went to bed at like 3.

Day 2 - Saturaday
We all slept in till 12 and by the time we all got ready to go to the con it was... 3 pm. Sara, Yili, Alice and I completely missed the Girugamesh Q&A. But.... we were just in time for the signing. At first, I cut the line with Emery and got my DS signed lol. Ryo was like "Woah, DS!". Same with Satoshi lol. I told them all to Canada 8'D. Then I cut the other line with Kevin and got my flyer signed. I sneaked a whole bunch of pics during this time. xD. I ended up going over to Starbucks with Sarah, Julian, Scott, and Mia before the KH shoot. We then met up with Jonathan... in which Nicole accidently knocked off a 'jewel' of his cosplay and we ran inside to find an outlet so we can glue gun it back on. Then we went and took pics at this small park between our hotel and the con center with Nicole, Tara, Sara and Jeff. We walked back when it got way too dark to pics and met up with Sarah, Julian, and Scott again. We (and Sara) headed off to the Cheesecake Factory and had STEAK 8D. It was so good. I had the flatiron charbroiled steak. After, we went up to their room at the Hyatt. I was waiting for Joey to text me back cause she was staying at the same hotel. She went to sleep already D8. We stayed about an hour, had a beer before heading back to our room. I went up to Emery's room for the night cause she only had three people in her room versus 7.

Day 3 - Sunday
I woke up EARLY just cause Sara said she wanted to get up early. But when I came down, no one was up so I ended up playing Tetris for like 30-45 minutes instead lol. She got up and so did Yili and we started to draw on her Dino tatoos. That took FOREVER. I went ahead to the con to see get some more photos in. I met up with kisukaite from DA at Cheesecake Factory. 8DD (IT WAS SO NICE MEETING YOU). Then the others came and we took some more pics. I started feeling really sick and was kinda out of it till after the con was over. We went to Cheesecake Factory again. It was also Jeff's bday and his family also came down. They ended up going to a movie while I felt really sick and went back to the hotel. I went downstairs and went on MSN till they got back. We all watched TV/played TWEWY while we had some Smirnoff coolers.

Day X - Monday
We (Jeff, Nicole, Ben, and I) woke up really late today at 12 while Yili, Sara, and Alice got up early to go shopping (as they were leaving early). Later in the day, after Jeff left, Ben, Nicole, and I went shopping too. We visited Nordstorm (expensive!), Sephora (I wish I could afford that Bvlgari Omnia Amethyst perfume! Well, I could... but I wasn't about to spend it on THAT), Westlake Mall (bought this really nice ring there), and Macy's (where I also found this really nice perfume WHICH I DON'T REMEMBER NAME OR BRAND D8). We went back to the hotel, got on a cab and went to the Quickshuttle bus stop. The trip back to Vancouver only took 3 hours this time, versus 5. The border guard that Nicole got was pretty fucked up though. "Are these people your friends?" in a way as if she can't friends or something. God. In all and all, I had a ton of fun!
 
I ended up taking 1580 pictures.
I spent $65 on food, $60 on hotel room, $50 on merchandise, spending a total amount of $170 of the $300 I brought.
I met many many new people.
I got asked (or didn't even GET asked) for too many random hugs.
I felt so skinny there.
I was almost squished to death by two fat chicks during the Giru concert.
I got my DS signed by Giru.
The only things I bought was Giru's Music CD, Hibari folder, and my ring.
I'm dead tired but I have at least 2 photoshoots coming up for probably this month.

Pictures are coming... later.
