Michael Hurst con report

[marycrawford]

Over at Dogged Blog, the first con report I've seen about Michael Hurst and his wife Jennifer Lealand at the Xena con in Burbank last weekend. (This was a Creation Con, i.e. 'pay $70 to have your picture taken with Renee O'Connor'. Gleep.)

This is a great, nicely detailed con report (the rest of the report starts here and she also has an entry about Xena in concert) and this bit cracked me up:

Asked about the origin of "Frock Day," which is a NZ theater tradition rooted, he says, in boredom. The women get all dolled up and the men wear dresses and makeup, just in the morning. At lunch you change, and no one talks about it, other than to say "nice frock."

And Hurst says he'll appear as the Widow Twanky next year, as long as she gets an invitation. Hee.

ETA: Here's another con report with pictures from katbaggins, including details about the cabaret in which Michael and Jennifer appeared. Also check out her gorgeous pic-taken-with-Hurst and her hand-knitted I ♥ Twanky pin, people. Woo!

ETA2: A short con report with pictures from keltcrogue, with a nice pic of Michael and Jennifer at their Q&A.

ETA3: A whole slew of convention pics on Ausxip, with lots of Michael and Jennifer.

If you see more con reports and/or pictures, please link me!

Hi! Just a lurker, but I'm bound and determined to clear up some icon space so I can grab one of your excellent Twanky icons. I've also stumbled across your Herc fanfic quite often on the great big internet, and I'm a fan! Anyway, I attended the Xena Con (purely for a dose of Michael Hurst brilliance) and I just posted a semi-coherent, Iolaus-centered, update on my lj, complete with super blurry pics. http://katbaggins.livejournal.com/230370.html
