I wouldn't say "just", but I went to Wizard World: New Orleans earlier this year and 2 years ago. I don't think I took hardly any pictures and I can't seem to find the ones I did take  |

I went to Anime Expo a few months ago and met Kyle Hebert and Keiji Inafune. I got a bunch of my D Arts Megaman signed and my figuarts Gohan. I was looking to buy the SDCC Gohan for Kyle to sign as well but couldn't find it in time. Eventually I found it afterwards for $150 but passed on it as I didn't have enough money. I will be going again next year and by then I should have Figuarts Broly and SDCC Gohan ready to get autographed. I'm hoping Chris Sabat will be at Anime Expo again too.  |

Let's get the ball rolling. First up, I'm gonna post some pics I took this weekend at FanExpo Canada. For those of you that don't know, it's the third largest "Geekdom" gathering in the world. Basically, it's Canada's SDCC. And it is a blast! I go every year. And as usually, I went with my longtime best friend. This time, right before he left for University. Ignore my messy hair and sleepy eye, I hadn't slept in about 48 hours. I started falling asleep at when we sat down. I decided not to meet Sean Schemmel (though I was lined up for him) or the english or japanese voice actors for Vegeta, because f*ck paying for a scribble on paper. Good Smile Company was there for a first time! And so was THE WORST BOOTLEG NENDOROID EVER.   One of my favourite artists at work, Adi Granov. I didn't get anything signed this year. Just stared at him for a bit.  This insanely cool collection of Star Wars minifigures seen at the Lego booth! Oh, man. It was intense. Also, Groot.   Some awesome cosplayers. That's handsome mofo next to the amazing Greedo is me. The Gamora was easily my favourite. And the Transformers were so awkward for photos, it was hilarious.         AND FINALLY, THE BEST PART. I got to meet DAN SLOTT, the current writer of the Amazing Spider-Man. I'm such a huge fan. I waited almost an hour, but it was worth it! He was such a cool guy. He definitively wasn't what I expected. I was so nervous I'd say something to insult him while discussing his recent writing decisions but he was really open and funny about his relationship with his higher-ups. He told me to throw the thwip hands up!  AND FINALLY, THE OTHER BEST PART. I GOT TO MEET MEG TURNEY. I suspect many people don't know who she is, but I'm sure you all know her amazing Bulma cosplay (I'm talking to you, Gohan and Branjita)! I've been a huge fan of hers ever since she started on Sourcefed, and it was so cool to meet her in real life. I was stuttering like a little boy and she had to call me back so I didn't forget my print, but it was worth it! She was just like she is on youtube in person!  |

Sincerely,
Branjita

LOL I don't think she would have been interested, Bran. Plus, I would've been way too nervous!  |
