I'm kinda lj spamming today, for which my apologies. However! I kinda wish I were in Atlanta right now. Still. Next best thing to being there is this little liveblog from dragon*con via text message. If you've been reading I Had No Idea I Had Been Traveling, we feel even more justified now! Thanks, Gareth. ;-) I'm sure Rach will post about this in detail later, and then y'all can hear about g.d.l.'s favorite line (eye candy!), the fact that his ass hurts, and other such tidbits. Till then, I give you:



rach: i am going to hell.
kali: pourquoi?
rach: at panel. lots of info and blushing.
kali: awesome. take notes for me. remember, think mauve.
rach: i am!
rach: lots of Ianto backstory next series and relationship development with jack he says
kali: well we will be jossed but that will be awesome. how are they gonna fit all that in five eps? hopefully the writers wont fuck it up.
rach: gdl blushes at everything
rach: this is getting so raunchy!
rach: some insane girl just asked him out during the q & a in a really tacky way. also his favorite episode to film was adam because of the strangulation.
kali: ha! i knew it! did he say yes to the date? ;-)
rach: he was gracious but clearly and rightfully freaked out. but he did just kiss a girl and thanked her for thanking him for playing a bi character so movingly.
kali: *cries*
rach: now the topic has moved on to felching
kali: is he for or against?
rach: for. talking about booze for a while. now he says that if jack broke ianto's heart, it might be the last straw for him, and implies potential suicide.
kali: oh! gdl is a emo!ianto fan, is he? i guess we already knew that.
rach: yup. also long story will explain later that led him to saying people better not post online that he's barrowman's bitch now.
kali: too late, gareth honey, too late.
rach: also says adam latched onto something that was already in ianto
kali: and us, for the win!
rach: wait til you hear the lead up
rach: and he's a nin fan. and is obsessing on trent now.
rach: also hilarious slutty tosh story
rach: and now annoyance with gwack
rach: recharging phone, will call with details.

Oh don't get me started on the pie crap. God was that unfunny and repetitive. Gareth has a very small belly (which to be honest is probably purely drink) which tends to show up in photos because at the gigs he is often wearing tight black t-shirts and strutting in stuff in poses which don't look very flattering. I have in the past had to go through photos I;ve taken and delete the unflattering ones before giving them to him but he is hardly obese. Just needs to do a few stomach crunches. But why fixate on his weight? Such a bizarre thing to do.

And yes given that he is very internet savvy (the guys in his band seem to find photos and vids wherever they're posted for the myspaces - including on LJ) it it disrespectful to talk such nonsense about him when he does try very hard with the fans. I mean he even dresses relatively sharply and makes sure he's clean shaven before he does conventions because he knows the fans for the most part are expecting to see Ianto appear before them (at the gigs he's normally in either a hoodie or a baseball cap and not necessarily fresh - my friends and I got slimey kisses on the cheek when we said goodbye at the last gig he was dripping head to toe in sweat!)

I find his shape quite cute, to be honest. To hell with those girls and their pies!

He looked fucking awesome. Buff and not skinny.

Envy can't actually kill you, can it?
I mean, that's just an expression, right?

The arms are very distracting - at least they were the last time I saw him -they're huge!

at Polaris, he went to work out at the hotel's gym in a muscle shirt... I had problems forming sentences while he was walking by... guh...

Word. I like him with meat on his bones. I think it's cute.

hahhaah shoulda seen him at Polaris at 10 am. There was nothing clean shaven or even showered or underwear (I swear he makes these distracting comments on purpose). He's hottest that way. Put the boy in a suit and awww kinda cute but jeans, tee and a mic in front of him... rock and roll suits the man so well.
