Speedrun of memories from the meet-and-greet last night:

Ruibo is the loveliest of people and had only arrived from New York 3 hours before the con began. She said she's loving it so far and everyone's so lovely. She really enjoyed the community of the show and how much people embraced Zheng. She was so thrilled with her mini-me 🥰

Nathan is such a wonderful catty diva and I love him so much.He complained about the lack of Lucius but was very pleased to see the Pete muppet and took a selfie with it to send to Matt Maher 🥰

David Fane's face journey on his way to our table went 😮😍 when he saw his mini-me waiting for him. He was so excited about it and he told us some of the significance of Fang's tattoos and that after the show, he ended up getting the belly tattoos done. The traditional artist who designed them was the same person who did the ink-work on his upper right arm. The bird motif is a very specific one in Samoan culture and the placement of it on his chest, towards his heart, was "so it was always flying home"

He is also such a giggly scamp - about Fang's belt on his head, he insisted to the costume designers that it was badass and cool to wear a belt on the head and the wardrobe team made a kind of "....Hm" response. "So I put it on my head anyway and then went out for filming and didn't let anyone take it off me and then it was too late for them to stop me 😇"

He also mentioned that Fang was such a delight to play because there's this tendency to make bigger performers tough and scary, but he loved that while Fang has done all this violence and lived through so much harsh and horrible stuff, he's still this sweet guy who just wants to be nice to people and have a good time with his friends.

Con was his usual glorious self. We ended up having a fascinating talk about the state of media, the limits placed on creative people by executives, how people at the top don't *get* why things work, they just take things that are successful and try and regurgitate them over and over until the genre/story/narrative is dead. He also waxed lyrical about what an excellent person David Tennant is, both for the way he doesn't let himself be pigeonholed by roles and for being "the kind of person I aspire to be"

And lastly, but by no means least, David Jenkins himself. He's having a lovely time from the looks of things, and he's so quick and witty and astute. I can't recall a lot of specifics but he was very excited about the muppets and insisted on a selfie with the whole table to send to his wife.

We did have a brief discussion about the state of TV at the moment and I brought up my favourite thing of streaming's downfall matching the history of the golden age and he agreed that when they got the budget for OFMD S1, at the time it "felt like Cecil B DeMills just throwing money at everything".

He also got very excited about tiny glow-in-the-dark unicorns that were being handed out, claimed one and named it Pepsi Jenkins. "Great name for a pet, awful name for a child"

It's been a lovely time and that was all while running on fumes. Day 2 is about to start, so I'm off for brekkie and to nab some munchies from the buffet
