So after the breakfast I got changed into my Callisto costume in the bathroom in the hotel and I actually arrived to the con early! I dropped my stuff off in the main room on a chair and then I went off to walk around. I went into the merchandise room and as I�m walking in I see a Gabrielle and Illusia Callisto. When I was walking around in there I met up with the people from my breakfast table and they were telling me to put some shoes on and I�m like no, I�m Callisto�on the beach! But really I was just too lazy to make boots and my costume would look dumb with normal shoes so I went with the barefoot look. Then the Gabrielle walked in and we started talking and became friends, her name is Heather btw. Then we were joined by a bunch of other costumers and suddenly everyone wanted our pictures so we were all standing there posing for pictures. When our little group broke up I went by the Hudson table and someone asked me if they could take my picture and if I minded if it was on a website. Of course I said I didn�t mind at all. Then Jimmy came over to the table and we were chatting and stuff.

I made it into the main room on time and watched some Pasadena clips. Then Adrienne came out again. I don�t really remember what she talked about though because the only thing on my mind was Hudson, Hudson, and Hudson! So sorry for the lack of report here. After Adrienne, Missy Good was up except I decided to go mingle with people so I left and ended up meeting back up with Heather and we went into the room with all the shirts to see if they had any Gabrielle with long hair ones. While we were in there we met up with a woman who was dressed as a centauress. We also got our pics taken with four little boys again. We came back just in time for the trivia contest. I wanted to be on the panel but I didn�t get picked this time. So I got my picture taken some more. This was just amazing because I felt almost as if I were a celebrity with everyone taking pictures. It was wonderful and I thank everyone who treated me and the other people in costumes as if we were the stars there!

Then there was a nice season 5 video. I thought it was pretty good. Then there was the intermission where there was more mingling and pictures and funness! This was definitely the best con I was at. I felt so loved! After the intermission I went back and me and Jimmy sat there and laughed at the auction. We were trying to guess what price the items would go for. Then there was the blooper reel and they showed the funny ones with the caesar salad!!! I was very happy that they showed my fav blooper reel! After that it was costume contest time!! I just liked standing on stage even though I never win. Their prizes were sorta sucky this time. The consolation prizes were just an 8x10 piccy. At least it was of long haired Gabrielle and Xena! Then there was more Pasadena stuff shown. I�m pretty much dying at this point because I wanted Hudson to come out.

Finally it was time!! They showed the Callisto video and then Hudson came out. I hurried up and ran over to the question mic. She walked around the stage and then she said, �I call this outfit mermaid faerie on crack!� Someone in the audience yelled out for her to turn around and she said she wanted to see her turn around so the woman got up and turned around and then Hudson turned around. She commented on how she is a white white girl and that she aint got no boo-tay. She also kept asking us if she was still in her top since it was so low cut. Then she said for us to not ask her to do the scream since she is sick. She let out a little squeak to show us what it will end up sounding like. She also mentioned how she felt like Vanna White and did a little impression. Then she started with the questions. One woman came up with a little present for Hudson. She said since Hudson kept talking about frogs in Pasadena that she brought her a frog. She also said there were hershey kisses to replenish her stock. Hudson took out the little frog toy and when she pulled the string the frog�s legs kicked. She said it was a very feisty frog or something like that. The guy who went up before me asked Hudson to do a yoga pose. She said she couldn�t but would teach him one. So she spotted him in a backbend. I got sort of jealous that he got to go on stage with her so I decided that besides the question I had planned to ask I would ask if I could go on stage. What to do? I had no idea.

So then it was finally my turn and I asked Hudson when Callisto kissed Xena since she mentioned that in a lot of interviews and the Illusia Callisto stood up and Hudson pointed to her and said �In that episode� Then I asked her, �Can I come on stage and do anything with you?� The audience was all ooooh and I added, �I just want to stand on stage with you!� Hudson then said �Ahhh, an actress in training� and let me come on stage. I was all smiley and happy and she came up with what I could do. She said so that I don�t have to just stand there that I can throw the hershey kisses. I was amazed by this, I felt so honoured to be able to throw the kisses!! She told me to be careful, though because the first time she threw them she injured some people. She told me to throw them underhanded. So I start throwing them and then I tried to get them further back and Hudson commented on how now I was getting excited and throwing them psychotically lol. Then she said she going to go walk through the crowd with the kisses and gave me the mic and said for me to stay on stage and look pretty. Then she changed her mind and said I could follow her around with the faerie dust and sprinkle it on people and have a procession thing. So I follow her down the middle aisle, glittering everyone and when we got to the end and Hudson ran out of kisses, she took the glitter and sprinkled people as we headed back to the stage. When we got back I picked up my camera and a bunch of kisses that were laying astray on the stage hehe. That was the best thing ever, I was so happy that I got to be Hudson�s little helper.

It was back to the Q�s after that. These are the ones I remember:

Heather went up to ask a question and I don�t remember what it was but Hudson goes, �Do you want to see my hipbone?� and Heather says, �No� and Hudson asks, �Can I see yours?� and she says �no� and Hudson goes, �Are you done?� and she says �yes.�

Someone asked Hudson if it were true that she auditioned for a part on Buffy. She said she may have but doesn�t remember. She did tell us however, that she was going to audition for Witchblade, but she got there late because she had just been in Africa and had gotten parasites there and was at the doctor getting treated for it. When she got there, they wouldn�t let her audition.

One girl wanted to ask a question but was having trouble getting her question out because she was nervous and Hudson said ok let�s trade places, you be me and I will be you. The girl said there couldn�t be another Hudson and Hudson said something about there being voices in her head. It was pretty funny. So Hudson went to the question mic and the girl had to stand on stage and Hudson acts all nervous and goes, �Um, um in season 2 episode um 35 scene 3, when Callisto said �I� did she mean I as in Hudson or I as in Callisto?� It was hysterical!!! Gotta love the way Hudson teases.

One man commented on how his wife couldn�t make it because she was pregnant and couldn�t fly. Hudson then said �It wasn�t me!� I love the way she jokes!!! She also said for him to tell his wife it was good!

When it was time to go she thanked all of us and said that she could be doing this at home in her mirror but instead she gets to do it here. It was a very sweet speech. Then she mentioned how she would do pictures with anyone who wants them. While Hudson and Adrienne did auto�s, I got more pics taken. Heather decided to pick me up and it seemed that everyone wanted a pic of that!!! It was so funny, poor heather had to keep picking me up though!!! When I got my Hudson autograph, I asked her if she could personalize it. She said sure and asked me my name. I told her and she asked me how to spell it and stupid me tells her, �S-T-E-P� and then I paused so she could write and then continued with, �A-N-I-E.� Yes�I forgot the H in Stephanie, which isn�t the first time I have done that. Oh well I am happy that it�s personalized! Then later on I finally got my pic with her and we had the cutest pose and I told her I might come see her in Milwaukee and she said she hoped to see me there! After that I had to leave. As my dad was driving me home I really had to fight not to cry because I really did not ever want it to be over even though I was tired and hungry.
