Jacksonville
Convention Report
Jacksonville, FL April 15-16, 2000
I simply must start by saying Kevin was as Divine in person as on screen. This was my first convention, and a long trying trip it was. I flew into Orlando, from Oregon, on the 13th, drove to Jacksonville on the 14th, went to the Con, drove back to Orlando on the 18th and flew home on the 19th. It was a long Holiday, but worth it in the end.
I sprung for the Gold seating, and managed to get a Row B aisle seat, great position! And as Luck would have it, or maybe it was the little green dress, I got to ask Kevin the first question, which of course was "Can we look forward to a 'Desperate Remedies II'?" Kevin's ever-so-perfect response was 'Oh yeah mate, because the first one didn't leave enough to the imagination, did it? Not quite campy enough.' Now for those of you who have not yet seen Desperate Remedies, let's just say it goes farther that The Full Monty ever dreamed.
Kevin answered questions on everything from Will there be a Xena movie? (Probably not) to Would you show us your six-pack? (Not without a six-pack)
After the Q & A Session Kevin graciously signed and personalized autographs for everyone who wanted one. Now I have to say that while I did remember to have him sign postcards for my daughters I dim-wittidly forgot to have him sign something for me. Now Mistress Banshee is not really an autograph hound, but in retrospect it was a pretty bone-headed thing to forget. I also gave him one of the infamous Shrinking Banshee T-shirts, which he got a good laugh out of.
After the Autograph signing Kevin let everyone who wanted to (and who wouldn't) get a picture with him. From what I have heard of other Conventions this is virtually unheard of, so I feel very lucky. Now while I tried to keep my cool and go for the standard arm around the waist picture, others had him flex his beautiful, sculpted, luscious...muscles, others snapped the picture during kisses on the cheeks, hugs, and even hands on the pectorals, now why didn't I think of that?
Through the entire afternoon he was witty and quick to laugh. He really was everything you would want him to be. In fact another con-goer noted that she wished he had been a jerk so she could curb her Kevin spending, but had no such luck and would have to continue her Kevin habit.
Now, after the activities for Saturday, on our way to dinner, war goddess and I ran into Kevin in the parking lot, she more literally than I, she got out of her car and hugged him, twice, nearly getting hit by a Porsche the second time. I on the other hand gave a wave and told him thank you for being so sweet earlier, to which I got a look so indescribably sexy I won't try to describe it. Then I coaxed my companion back into her car and Kevin went for a stroll by the river, alone. It was a brief interlude but the perfect cap to a great day.
Needless to say the trip went downhill from there, the exception being Gina Torres' appearance on Sunday, although she was rushed through much more than Kevin and very few of us got pictures taken with her, but since I had front row seats for Sunday I got lucky.
That in a nutshell was my first Convention experience. The pictures are below, hopefully they do Mr. Smith the justice he deserves, not to mention at all, the little green dress.

Mistress Banshee with Our chosen God
While Kevin looks fabulous this is a less than flattering of your faithful leader. I apologize extensively and must vehemently deny that I have a double chin, I think I was too lost in the moment to realize that I have had this body for a while now and must be properly positioned to be photogenic.
Mistress Banshee and Gina Torres
Here's me and Gina, who is considerably taller than me, taken on the last day of the Conference, they really rushed her through so this was the last picture she took with anyone, lucky me. Can you tell it was the end of the day and we were a bit shiny? Oh well, aren't we cute as fruit?
