We were in the right place at the right time . . .
. . . and saw and talked to Jason . . . like, 12 times, in passing!
Marianne (Blisster) and I were sitting on chenille-covered chairs in the air conditioned lobby of the Beverly Hilton, wondering if we'd ever see him. We had no idea what time the Brotherhood panel session was or if we'd already missed it. As it turns out, the ballrooms are to the right of the lobby. If we were going to see him, this would be the place. So, we sat and waited.
At 11:45, he walked through the doors. We jumped up and, as he walked to the front desk to check in, I asked him if he would have 5 minutes after the panel discussion to talk with us. He said that he didn't know what the schedule was. He also said that he hadn't slept. (Probably took the red-eye from Rhode Island.) I answered that we were the first to arrive and that DD (Raven) and Angela were on their way. We told him that we would wait patiently until he could give us some time.
The rest of the afternoon, he was ushered/escorted/directed through the lobby, about a dozen times, to the various locations, and each time he apologized for not being able to stop and chat. But we assured him that we were fine. At least we weren't outside behind barracades in the hot sun. We were also well behaved enough that Security didn't bother us.
In the meantime, we saw, in no particular order, David Duchovny, James Remar, Matthew Modine, Natashia McElhone (not sure of the spelling), Christiane Amanpour, one of the Olsen twins (not a fan, so couldn't tell which), Jason Clarke (of course), and the casts of Dexter and Weeds. There were more, but memory fails.
Finally, he came over to us, apologizing again, signed several Lucius pix for the charity auctions, posed for group pictures, and it was all too brief, but enjoyable nevertheless. And I forgot to get my hug, darn it!!
Funny anecdote: Sitting at the opposite side of the lounge from us were two female limo drivers bemused by our encounter. When Jason was finally pulled away from us, one of them asked "Who was that? When we told them, they said, "Who?" (tsk! Typical! ) We said, "Lucius Malfoy." And I whipped out one of the pix he had signed, and one yelled, "NO WAY!" Uh, WAY!
It was great seeing everyone again. It's been 3 years since we last got together. And Jason was the icing on the cake.

When DH and I drove up the street to the hotel, there was a security guard sitting in a golf cart right at the entrance of the long drive. That sight intimidated us enough to keep on driving. At the end of the block, I told DH that we should pretend I'm a guest and he's dropping me off. So, we went around the block, drove past the guard up the driveway, passed about 100 parked limos (this must be the place), and he dropped me off at the entrance. (DH went to Venice to hit the antique malls for prospective eBay-bilia.)
And, yes, I forewent the blue balloons in favor of decorum. I wore a dressy Hawaiian shirt and black slacks. We discovered that the sessions were in the International Ballroom, which was right next to where we were sitting in the lobby. Nobody challenged us. We sat quietly, trying to identify all the celebs walking by. I think he remembered me. After all, it's been 3 years since the last encounter.
I Priority-Mailed the photos to you this afternoon, Miss Hils. You should receive them in 2–3 days.
