I woke up this morning (after being left at the hotel yet again by Lykaon) and realized that today was the big day!  I was finally going to meet the lovely and talented Yvonne Strahovski.

Lykaon woke me up at a painstaking 6am to make sure I was ready for the big day.  We then headed down to Port Imperial to catch the Ferry.

We got to the convention center at 8am and were saddened to learn that we weren’t allowed to wait in line specifically for Yvonne until 10am.

So we sat.  And sat.  And along the way we met a very nice professional photographer, and a couple of Strahotski.com readers, Carastille and Reen426.

The time finally arrived and we got a seat in the fourth row; plenty close to Yvonne.

After a Chuck recap, she came in and wow.  I know I’m just a bear, and partial to the bear ladies, but Yvonne was stunning.  I didn’t know humans could be that pretty!

I was really nervous.  What if she didn’t like me?  What if she had another bear in her life?

The Q&A session started and Lykaon jerked me up (with little a care for my well-being).  Second in line.  This was going to be good.

Lykaon got the mic and started by introducing himself as the webmaster of the site.  Yvonne said, “WoW.”  (Lykaon tells me there is audio that he’ll put up on the site later.)

He offered me up to her and there was a few moments of confusion, since no one knew the protocol for delivering a bear to a pretty lady.

Finally, the witty Chris Fedak had the answer — “Throw it!”

And there I was hurdling through the air until Mr. Fedak finally caught me.  And then he handed me over and I was face to face with Yvonne.  I had finally made it home.

Later in the panel someone asked her who her craziest fan was and she held me up stating, “Probably the guy who made this site!”  (She’s right, he is pretty crazy.)

This will be my last blog for Strahotski.com since I have a big life ahead of me now with Yvonne.  Thanks for all of the support!

Lykaon says that when he gets home to real internet he will provide even more info and lots more pictures of both me and Yvonne.  Look for it today or tomorrow!

Goodbye!  Wish me luck with Yvonne!

Well I finally made it to New York.  Lykaon made me wear a seatbelt, of course, which I find disdainful.  Real bears don’t wear seatbelts and neither should I.

Mrs. Lykaon told me that my bow didn’t match my shirt and that if I was going to impress Ms. Yvonne Strahovski I would surely have to change it to a pink bow.  Pink bows aren’t very manly, but Mrs. Lykaon is a pretty lady too so she must know what the pretty ladies like.

After the 4 hour drive, Lykaon left me in the hotel room while he went out on the town.  He didn’t even leave me the password to his computer so I could blog!

It wasn’t all for nought, though.  Lykaon and Mrs. Lykaon took the NBC Studio Tour.  No sightings of Yvonne there, but they did pick up some official Chuck gear.  (And they saw a few of the SNL cast which was a bonus)

It’s only one more day until I finally get to meet Ms. Strahovski.  At least I hope I get to meet her.  Not only is she a lot prettier than Lykaon, but I think she’s got to be nicer.  They made me sleep on the couch last night with only a Strahotski.com t-shirt to cover up with!

I’ll keep you updated.  I’ll make sure Lykaon takes his camera and voice recorder to the panel so that we can get maximum Yvonne coverage.

Hi!  Strahotski Bear here.  I’m a new contributor to Strahotski.com; and in fact new to this world in general.

It all started when Lykaon custom ordered me from the Strahotski.com store.  It was a rough trip in a plastic bag for a few days, but I finally found my way to him.

Apparently, I’m to get a new owner in the next few days.  I’m very excited to meet Yvonne Strahovski, but if I am unable to meet her I guess I will have to live with Lykaon a while longer.

Since Lykaon is so very busy, I thought I would chronicle our trip to New York City to see Ms. Strahovski at the New York Comic Con.

Will we get to meet her?  Or ask her a question?

We just don’t know right now, but if all goes well I will find myself staying with Yvonne.  Wish us luck!

There isn’t too much to write about at this point. NBC has posted the entire 45 minutes panel here and the Season 2 montage is on YouTube here. The panel is obviously hilarious and insightful about how the next season will play out as well as all of the new changes (such as Sarah’s new job, Bryce coming back, Jill making an appearance, ect…).

My birthday was indeed exciting though! The Chuck cast/crew autograph signing was at 2:15pm, followed by the panel at 3:30pm. I waited around for about an hour and half waiting for Convention Center Security (the “Elite”) to get a line organized, and once they did I was about 20th or so. I was pretty close to the front.

Like I said in my Paley report (is it a report? Write-up?), Yvonne is stunning up close. I stand by it. This time, I was able to speak face to face with her and she was nice enough to take a picture with me! We talked briefly about our birthdays (hers is next Wednesday), and we talked about being leo’s and the upcoming panel, took our picture, and security cut it short to keep the line moving. The pictures are uploaded, including a picture of the poster I got signed as well as some pictures from the panel.

Most of you knew this, but she’s a sweetheart. Very genuine, and WELL aware of Strahotski. “All of the guys call me Strahotski on set because of the site!” I had brought it up with her to see if maybe she checked the place out and she mentioned she has, but how often, I don’t know.

Just to get to the point, enjoy.

There’s a thread you can check out here and a bit off-topic, but more pictures from Comic-Con on my MySpace.

EDIT: Pictures will be up when I can figure out how to resize them. I guess they are too big.

Editor’s Note: I’ve got the pictures and will put them in a gallery and post again when I have them up.  – Lykaon

We all know Comic-Con is days away and on Saturday July 26th, the cast and crew of Chuck will return for a Q & A and (hopefully!) a meet n’ greet/autograph signing session! I only know of one other member of Strahotski going but I wanted to inform those that didn’t know, that I will be attending the event as well and I will be at the Chuck panel!

We’ve been short of updates as of late (for obvious reasons!) and felt it was necessary to give you guys a boost. I’ll be blogging Comic-Con panels in the Strahotski forums but I’ll do a major update on the page for the Chuck panel (like I did with Paleyfest.)

July 30th also marks Yvonne’s 26th birthday, I’ll be sure to wish her a happy birthday if/when I see her.

Again, just an informing update. I’m counting down the days!

Also, not that it’s too exciting, but I turn 20 on July 26th as well, so I’m pulling for a good day on that Saturday!
