It looks like those were the same jackets the guys wore to the bobsled thing in Germany last week. How cool. It was in Austria,not Germany! ;D

Thank you, Shirley! That was a wonderful report ... You could've written three or four pages, and it wouldn't have been too long! May I ask who Charlie (David) is? I feel by the way you write about him that I should know ... And it sounds like you were sort of in an official party with the boys? Did you arrange that before you went? All these questions I have! Did you see my PM before you left? I wonder if you had a chance to chat to Michael from AE? So I gather that you weren't disillusioned after meeting them? I know of people who've met their "idols" and who've been sent back to earth with a big bump. I'm so glad your experience wasn't like that. I love the photos. Thore and Jo seem genuinely happy to be there. It's such a long way for them to travel, for just a few days. It's a pity they couldn't have taken an extra week to do some travelling. Did they have any trouble with the language? I guess they're pretty fluent, but I wonder if they stumbled at all? Sorry to grill you, but I'm so happy to know that you had a good time, and would love to find out more.

I agree with aussie54 that you could have written a novella and it wouldn't have been too long Thank you for taking the time to post what you did (especially as I'm sure you are still recovering from the stress of traveling and the high of seeing them ;D We were all waiting with baited breath for a report. Lol, I wonder where Jo got the notion that you were short? Btw aussie, Charlie David plays Toby in Dante's Cove. Set around a hotel on an island, lots of supernatural stuff goes on, a campy show that knows it's campy, is that ringing any bells? He was also in an independent movie last year called "Mulligans"..... www.imdb.com/title/tt0414731/

Thank you Shirley for the brief report. It looks like those were the same jackets the guys wore to the bobsled thing in Germany last week. How cool. And what was the PSA they had Charlie doing? Will Jo and Thore be posting any of their pics on their MySpace pages? And will we be getting an update on their blogs? I'm glad you got to go, and very glad you enjoyed yourself. And very very glad you gave us your report. Vielen Dank! Hey Husky, To be honest, I''m not sure I can talk about the PSA thing yet, (I may can..I just don't know) but once I know all about it and it's ready for going out, you guys will be the first to know. It's a rather cool thing!! Good eye! Those were the jackets that someone gave them but I didn't catch who gave it to them. I am positive that you will see pictures on both of their my spaces. They are falling down from exhaustion, both have to work tomorrow morning, so it may be a few days. Jo - I Know will blog.. Thore..I don't know. LOL. He is just not up on that blogging thing. LOL. But you guys feel free to email him at thore@schoelermann.net and request a blog. ;-D And you are welcome. As I think of any funny stories and I know they are there..I'm just sooo tired..I'll write them here.

May I ask who Charlie (David) is? I feel by the way you write about him that I should know ... Charlie is an actor friend of mine. He is on Dante's Cove and has been in movies such as "Four Letter Word" and "Mulligan's" (his movie). Not really. nothing official. But they were sweet enough to keep taking me with them. (I think they felt sorry for me. ;D) I did. I was with them with they did the interview. He is very very VERY nice. I really liked him a lot. I saw him many times over the weekend and he was so incredibly pleasant. I really liked him. Oh my God..no. I love them more, if that is even possible. Jo is the kindest, sweetest ...my gosh..I can't begin to tell you what an adorable soul he is. And Thore is sweet and funny and cute and such a gentleman. When we were leaving the mountain top party, he took my coat ticket, got my coat for me and even helped me on with it. What a gentleman. His mother raised him well. And Jo, always opening doors, wanting to carry things.. they are wonderful. (ok, so now I'm gushing) and if they read this, I'll never live it down. ;-) They were soooo happy to be there. I know several times Jo said "I can't believe we are here ..in Canada!!". And Thore..same thing. He loved it!!!!

Thanks for your report and pictures, Shirley! There were some winter sports events from Whistler on TV and I was thinking what wonderful weather you had up there! It really comes across in the photos and I'm so happy you finally got to meet!!
I've been stuck in a gondola in Switzerland with about 8 people and everyone was freaking out. Not a pleasant experience. But they only stopped the ride for about 10 minutes because of winds. I think they only let you board it when it's safe enough to go and stopping it from time to time is just a precaution. Although having those "survival kits" stare at you probably made it worse. ;D

Shirley, I wait with baited breath!
As for their being so excited about Canada, maybe next time they can come somewhere closer, like Niagara Falls? Toronto? Or maybe even somewhere in the U.S.? NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Niagara Falls? Somewhere historic or extremely scenic.
Aussie54, I can't believe anyone on here hasn't seen Charlie David yet. He is an openly gay actor, has been on here! network as the host of Bump!, a gay tourism show, and as said earlier, is one of the main characters in "Dante's Cove". He is also an aspiring producer and writer, having starred in, written, and produced "Mulligans". He came to Rochester last October to appear at the Image Out Film Festival showing of "Mulligans" and was very charming. I got his autograph on the DVD cover of my copy of "A Four Letter Word". I can't recall if "Mulligans" won any of the awards, I'm not part of that committee at the festival, but if it did, he'll have film stock from Kodak for his next project.

Shirley...Thank you so very much for your report. I couldn't wait to read how things went for you with meeting Jo and Thore. I see you were not disappointed. They sound like the nicest, coolest guys to meet and just sit and have a drink with. And they sound like real gentlemen. I am so happy for you. I'm quite a shy person, so if I met them I think I would be frozen in one spot, unable to move.
I loved that Jo was so embarrassed when he and Thore had to stand up when they showed what is my favorite clip so far...the 4/4/08 of Christian declaring his love for Olli. And then they stopped the footage before they kissed and the crowd moaning. You just know that was deliberate. LOL
I had to laugh when you said Jo couldn't believe how tall you were. I'm a tall girl myself at 5'9" I towered over my friends in school and took the full brunt of tall jokes...whats the weather like up there, skinny mini, tall like a long plank of wood. Now those same people are like...you're so Lucky to be so tall and slim. ;D

I actually own Dante's Cove season 1 and 2. A lot of supernatural stuff, camp with acting leaving a lot to be desired. But who cares...I love it. Plus, there is the added bonus of all those gorgeous men, more often than not wearing near to nothing. ;D If I'm not mistaken, I think season 4 is presently being filmed. Anyway...Charlie David is a well known successful out actor. And from accounts of people who have met him, he's a really nice guy. Very down to earth and friendly.

Well, I am sorry to say that I've never heard of Charlie ... I've never seen any of Dante's Cove or heard of Mulligans. Does that make me a bad "gay" fan ;D Thank you again, Shirley, for the answers to my questions. I really appreciate the time you took to answer, knowing how tired you must've been.

It means we need to get some excerpts from Dante's Cove on the board somewhere. Oh, and here's a link to a trailer for "Mulligans". Charlie is the young dark haired guy at the beginning. As you can see in the link, it also stars Thea Gill, Lindsey from QaF:US.

Shirley, it's too bad Jo couldn't bring his partner of five years (per his recent interview) with them for the trip. Or did he? Of course, you're probably sworn to secrecy if he did.

OMG, Shirley, thanks so much for your report! Looks like they had a really good time too! The pics were amazing! And I have to admit I kinda laughed when I read about the gondola part, can't have been much fun being in the middle of it when it happened though!

Thanks for that clip, husky. Mulligans looks good. If anyone has seen it, could they PM me to let me know how it ends? And thanks, also, Softfurbear for the link to Dante's Cove. I have heard of that, but not much good, I'm afraid.

Love Dante's Cove (all the cheesy goodness you could want in a show about witches and cute naked boys)
Charlie David is a lovely actor and I'm excited to see him doing other projects. Can't wait for Mulligans.
Jo and Thore look so relaxed even with all the travel and excitement
Thanks so much Shirley for the lovely report. What a pleasure

I would think that being stuck in a gondola with Thore and Jo would be a lot of fun. A whole lot of fun.

I have heard of that, but not much good, I'm afraid. What's not good? What you heard? Or the link? Dante's is all about camp and silliness. It is Queer as Folk meets Dark Shadows. It's about eye candy and scenery. It is a fun, silly romp through a preposterous plot. So it's not for everyone. But if you can laugh at some of the plot, you can really have a lot of fun watching it. And it is filled with impossible love triangles...

I'm quite a shy person, so if I met them I think I would be frozen in one spot, unable to move. Honestly, you wouldn't be. They would have you laughing and normal feeling in about one minute. There is no way you can be shy around them. They are just toooo "normal" themselves. I have been around a lot of celebrities and some make you feel "shy" and some don't. Jo and Thore make you feel like one of their best friends within moments.

Can't wait for Mulligans. Jo and Thore look so relaxed even with all the travel and excitement Thanks so much Shirley for the lovely report. What a pleasure I love Dante's Cove. And yes, as long as you don't watch it expecting emmy material, you are good to go. (And believe me Charlie and Greg and the rest of those guys know exactly what kind of show it is. And Charlie is soooo nice and sweet. Perhaps one of the nicest men I have ever met in my entire life (and now I have met 3).

I would think that being stuck in a gondola with Thore and Jo would be a lot of fun. A whole lot of fun.It most likely would have been if I hadn't been so nervous (I don't like being in closed in places, especially 1000's of feet off the ground. ) They were NOT nervous. Thore had his feet propped up across the thing (beside me - hee... had on Cowboy boots....haha..little funny note going to a ball....) and Jo was totally relaxed...saying "don't worry...no need to be nervous...it will start in a minute). Thore is not paying attention..he is playing with the survival kit. LOL! I'm sure he would have found it to be one great big adventure if we had been stuck up there freezing. And the other 3 guys??? They were being entertained with Todd's I-pod watching Christian and Olli videos...LOL And just where is Divinewinds??? He was with us at some of the parties? ohhhh CJ..come out come out from wherever you are.....
