HEy guys! Get what pictures I finally got around to uploading! Fan Expo! I didn't get as many as last year because the halls were so crowded, but I still have a fair number.

Aug. 25th, 2010 11:40 pmWe went to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World last night. It was incredibly awesome. Sadly, I can see why it's doing poorly at the box office. See... the entire time I was watching it, I felt like they had made the movie for me.
And on a related "movies made for me don't succeed" note, one of the previews managed to lose my attention and then actually get it back. It looked like a really generic hockey movie... until halfway through they all started singing and dancing! They are making a HOCKEY MUSICAL. It looks RIDICULOUS. I am excited to watch it. :p
Just about ready to go for Fan Expo. Which is good, since we're leaving tomorrow. I made a Deadpool mask for Ryan today, it came together rather well. I think I have all my costume bits packed, just need to make sure I have all the emergency repair supplies. And the con food. And the non-costume clothing, might want that. :p

Aug. 30th, 2009 11:21 pmFanExpo was pretty fun. Some definite organizational issues that I would have expected not to be seeing at a professionally run convention. Ranging from little things like the fact that the program book at no point contained a page that listed everything that was going on at the same time (you had to look through the different streams to plan) to the fact that they were letting people talk to Scott McNeil for like five minutes when there was a line. Scott's line was probably the shortest one I was in all day, but it took forever to get through. After over an hour, we gave up on him and went to see Aaron Douglas instead. Especially since we had people we were supposed to meet like fifteen minutes earlier.
Not at all the con's fault, but it was kinda sad that we didn't get the Mary McDonnell Q&A today. Obviously having to go back to LA for a memorial service is a very good reason to not do the panel, but I was quite looking forward to it. Aaron Douglas filled in, which was still pretty darn awesome. I asked him if Ron Moore ever laughed maniacally during season 4.5. He said that he doesn't think he did anything else. :p
The Q&A sessions were definitely the high point of the con. I could listen to Avery Brooks talk for quite a while. Partly because he's interesting, partly because he has a really nice voice. :p He sang! Leonard Nimoy also sang, "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". His panel was generally hilarious, definitely a great time.
A really sweet vendors' room, incidentally. This con is definitely about the celebrity panels and the vendors' room, because there actually wasn't a terrible lot else going on. Whether I go next year will definitely depend on who they have.
Speaking of the vendor room, I am now determined to get action figures of as many of my RP characters as possible. Since I got Hobbie at Polaris and picked up Bill at Fan Expo. I was sad that they seemed to have every Doctor Who character except Martha.
All things considered, I'm really glad I paid for a photo with Mary McDonnell. Mostly because I got to hug her. :p Also, she was excited by my costume. :p So have a couple pictures!
( Everyone loves pictures! )
