I can finally relax after a few busy weeks filled with conventions, travel, work and moving!
So I went to Fan Expo and had a good time despite the planning fail of Hobby Star. It probably helps that the convention falls over my birthday, adds a little extra fun to the convention experience. Honestly Fan Expo feels like so long ago but I guess that's what happens when your moving at a million miles a second! Between some promo stuff and the steampunk fashion show I hit up a few panels and grabbed free merch from DC and Marvel. I was photo trapped for alot of Saturday and sunday, I expected our Batman group to get trapped but me alone as Sue I didn't see coming. I wish I had gotten Stan Lee to sign my Sue costume but by the Sunday I didn't want to wait in the massive line only to trust my chest at him to sign my suit next to the 4 symbol... there's always NYCC.
Dragon Con... all I can say about Dragon Con is OMG AWESOME!!! I want to go back so badly and would switch attending it for Fan Expo any day! That said I got to meet a lot of awesome costumers whoes stuff I've admired for quite awhile online. I shared a room with The-Cosplay-Scion, Olivias-Atelier, Stargazer-Gemini, Jeff, Tricky, Dave and Sara ... it was a full room but luckily it worked pretty well, we were okay with close quarters
. I attended quite a few costuming track panels as well as SCF Marvel and DC photo shoots. I'm still so impressed by the number of excellent male superhero/villian costumers, Canada really has a real lack of male costume participation and it really is a joy to see alot of male characters getting some well done attention.In the end I really want to go back to Dragon Con hopefully I can make it happen for 2011 as well
I've also moved back up to school for the year! I'm now living with my boyfriend Jeff and my long time awesome friend Meaghan (aka. Harley/ My dressup dollie). I'm all sore from moving heavy things and probably more than a little high off cleaning fumes. The first thing up in our apartment was a Galactus Mighty Mugg which watched over our apartment from his high up view point! I might take a photo of our excellent figure collection display once they're all up.
School starts soon and then I'm into scholastic mode as well as continuing to work at my job (gotta fund my hobby somehow).
Upcoming:
-New York Comic Con
- Halloween/Zombie Walk
