If you are ever in New York City:

Please go here and try their Olive Oil gelato.  A foodie's dream come true.  I ate it 2 days ago and am officially obsessed now.


If you are ever in Los Angeles:

Please go here and try...well...anything.  Amazing.  I miss it!


100% SQUEE: BSG cast at the Grand Slam, Burbank, CA, yesterday: Sackhoff/Bamber/Trucco/Vernon

...Notes I've collected from skiffy board fans over the past day or so:

- Bamber walked around all day with his shirt unbuttoned down to THERE and seemed very pleased with the resulting flustered fangirl reactions.

- While the 4 actors were onstage, a fan handed Sackhoff a gift bag. Bamber Sackhoff joked that it was probably a vibrator shaped like Apollo. Actually, it was a handknitted scarf. *this is almost too RPF meta for me to handle*

- Trucco was making Lee/Sam slashy jokes onstage.

- Bamber's fangirls "the Bamber Bunnies" handed him a tee shirt they'd had made, which they'd shipped around the world to have signed by bunnies in 7 or 8 different countries. He loved it. Sackhoff also loved it and said she wanted one too.

- Vernon & Sackhoff commented that the reason the writers keep the strong women characters so separated in the storylines, is to prevent all the men on the show from seeming too weak. And cuz all the ladies would do is talk about sex.  And you can't have that, can you?  *g*


...IESB has both photos and video interviews with all four actors.

...roadrunnerdm was there and has a nicely detailed "brain dump" (with a promise of more later in the week):

"What was the most absurd thing they've ever been asked to do on the show? Katee said it was sleeping with Apollo. Jamie said it was pretending as though Starbuck could beat him up."

"Somehow, (I don't recall now how it happened) Jamie turned this conversation into speculation about Apollo-shaped vibrators...a theme which reared it's head a few more times before the session was over."

"Who's the best kisser on the show...Lee or Sam? Katee said it's #6. {let the femmeslash fics fly!}"

...and, yeah, from the vid: I see what the Bunnies are talking about ;-)

Oh how they love, love, love to play with us. Thank the gods.
*giggles*

UPDATES:
-- tons of fan pix posted on the skiffy board - short version here and if you want EVERYTHING (it's a lot!), start on Bunny thread around here.
--
roadrunnerdm says the con was videotaping the entire panel; hopefully we'll hear soon how to see all that.
-- more con reports from a very serious Katee fan, another BSG lover, and someone who Just Isn't That Into It, but enjoyed the breakfast.
-- BamberBunnies.com has a few video snippets (including the Leebrator joke)

yes, I know, I KNOW!

But it was to die for.

You know those fresh, grassy olive oils - the ones that taste sweet and green, and are so good for dunking crusty Italian bread into? Well it tastes like that...and cream...and a dash of salt and...something else. Not sure yet. But I will keep tasting it all summer and will figure it out.

Yeah, but it goes with bread. ;)

I'll give it a go the next time I'm in the 'hood. Gotta try everything at least once.

Thanks for posting those vid links. I only watched the JB and KS ones. Have to say I'm surprised that JB isn't getting any upcoming projects. Also LOL'ed at KS's "I love Lifetime" -- didn't she call it "television for saps" not too long ago?

I'm not complaining! ;-)
And they looove it... or Jamie does, at least.

YES.

Well words cannot explain how much I appreciate that JB is willing to play with us now and then. He gets it, that's fer sure. LOL

Yeah, for sure! I love it when actors are good-humoured about that sort of thing, as he certainly is. That sort of playful graciousness goes a long way for fans.
