50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

That time I met Billie Piper

  • blog
  • Travel

So exactly two years and one day ago, this happened:

That's my guy holding my gal!
That’s my guy holding my gal!

Then, this happened:

John Barrowman Sweeps Wil Wheaton off his feetSo while we were at Ottawa Comicon, and I was swooning over Billie Piper, I asked her if she’d like to be part of this tradition, and this happened:

Wil Wheaton Meets Billie Piper
She said I was “lovely”

She said I was lovely, and she hugged me, and I was so excited I felt like my insides were made of bees.

    The next picture has to be Barrowman holding Fillion with you looking confused.

      How about Wil holding Anne with Karen Gillan looking angry?

        Karen Gillan holding Anne with Wil looking forlorn would be great, though.

          For perfect awesomeness, it must be Karen Gillan holding Anne with Wil reprising Wesley Crusher’s “I feel strange, but also good” expression from ST:TNG.

    I bumped into her once in Central London. She is exactly 10 times more beautiful in real life than she is on the screen. I’m absolutely sure she’s a gorgeous person too but I was far too tongue tied to attempt to even say “Hello”.

  4. Holly D says:

    This is why I love you and all involved!

    Thanks for coming to Ottawa and bringing all your awesomeness! Hope you can come back, you’re always welcome ( hint: come in the summer if you don’t like snow and cold )!!

    So next year, you pout while Anne is with … Ellen Page, maybe? (Is Kitty Pryde in the new X-Men movie they’re making? If so, is it Ellen?)

    Next meet and greet with a sitting President. I look forward to that picture.

    Ha! I want to do one with Anne holding will and me looking sad. That would be the most epic… for me. Now if I could just get Elle and Adam Sonnet to take me with them to a con…. We’re supposed to be brothers Adam! We shared Glow-worms!!

    Loving this tradition! Can’t wait to see what you two come up with next, but think that it’s Anne’s turn now.

  14. jeezusgut says:
    14 May, 2015 at 10:56 am

    I love how you are still such a geek/nerd and get unapologetically excited about stuff. Please never change that aspect. Also, to be fair, the next pic should involve Anne being happy and you being pouty.

    Careful, her husband plays a policeman!

    I think the important thing to note here is that, correct me if I’m wrong, two of the three “incidents” happened at Ottawa Comicon.

    Lol, I was standing in the next line over when you and Marina snuck into Billie Piper’s signing booth to talk to her. I very clearly heard you exclaim “OMG, THIS IS HAPPENING!” when she got up to give you a hug. Thanks for stopping by Ottawa again Wil, never get tried of your visits. Maybe next time come over for a pint? 😉

    Come back to Phoenix Comicon to do your next one! I think its Anne’s turn next, I’m wondering who she’s going to pick this time?!

    This series of photos is so fun. Your tweet of your ticket for your Billie Piper photo the other day reminded me to pre-purchase mine for Stan Lee in Dallas later this month. Hard to justify, since I have one from years ago, but that one is in street clothes, and this one won’t be by a long shot, so I splurged. As you do. Trying to think of an epic pose for my Kate Bishop (Team Hawkguy!) cosplay with him.

    Totally jelly, although in defense of Mr Fillion, I am not yet sure youre winning this war. i mean come on, Anne got Nathan Effington Fillion

    Anne’s overdue for a turn…

  27. David P says:
    14 May, 2015 at 8:49 pm

    Sigh. The pic of your +10 Wife of Babeness with Nathan always makes me melancholy because it reminds me of what was going on at that time; I had planned for that to be my first con, but life (and a dying parent) kept me away.

    This year, work decided to tie me up for the first two days of the con; and then I learned that Wil was only there the first two days. Sigh. (Added insult: I couldn’t try Wil’s beer, which was only available at the con)

    Someday, I will get to the Ottawa con and get to see & meet Wil… or maybe get Wil to come to the Ottawa Beerfest, and have all the local microbreweries do Wil-inspired brews – Geordie Lachance Lager; Wesley’s Crushed Grain Ale; MeeMaw’s Special Mead; a Dancing Barefoot wine…

    @wilwheaton 1. Contact paramount and ask them to shoot a scene on the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D’s bridge. 2. Have Billie make a special appearance on the hollo deck it is the future right so the holo deck would make sense showing the past 3. The scene gains record numbers of viewers on social media sites 4. ?????????? 5. Profit

    Your insides being made of bees would explain a lot about you.
