That was a truly great experience!
sadiane and I RSVP'd to go to the 7:30 showing at Hotel deLuxe. When we arrived at 6:15, we were told that it was full and we'd have to wait until 9pm. Bummer. But! It ended up working out for the better!
We decided to wait and hang out in line, so we got really great seats. Also, we had a fun time talking to the other people near us in line. :D
They started letting us in around 9:30 and gave each of us an 8X10 promo shot and had us go through the line to get the cast to sign it! They were all so nice! Gina, Chris, Aldis, and a few others I didn't recognize. Gina is adorably pregnant. Chris is VERY cute and will be performing at Dante's every other Sunday until the show raps up in September. Aldis is just an absolute sweetheart! I was told that Beth showed up soon after to sign as well. Before heading on, they gave all of us t-shirs that says
Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys.


The screening room was small and intimate, with about 90 seats for us. There was a very nice spread of fruit, chocolate covered strawberries, and cupcakes for us and everyone was very accommodating. The cast came out to say hi and introduce the episode. It was great to see them all together. They really seem to like each other, which is why the show gels together so well, in my opinion. Aldis apologized for Timothy, saying he was not able to make it, but that he really wanted to be there. They thanked us all for coming and were just generally adorable.
The episode is AMAZING! I won't give away any spoilers, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!
Afterward, we were told there was a surprise. Timothy showed up! Apparently, he was at the airport to see his son. He had just arrived and was happy to answer any questions with Chris and Beth. After about 10 or 15 min, Aldis joined them for some more Q&A. Timothy even agreed to stay longer to sign for all of us! (That is when I got Beth's autograph, as well). Aldis was great and taking pictures with fans. Really, he is one GOOD LOOKING boy.
I've posted a few pics in a gallery
here, but here are a few of our lovely cast...
( pics and vids under cut )ETA - one of the vids was set to private. I'll be sure to repost if the settings change.

All in all, it was a spectacular night and I'm so glad we got to see Timothy! Getting home around midnight was
totally worth it! :D
