I must smell... no-one came to visit me  or you guys are shy.
I had a great day anyway! People everywhere!!! I'm suprised that there was cash left in the ATM cos apparently the line up was huge!!! So impressed with the costumes this year!

 I didn't even know you were there, it was pretty fun, I ended up seeing Pudding, Benza, Lapzod and Samboy there. Only Pudding was wearing his hat though ^.^

I blew an unhealthy amount of money there.
Saw a fair few of Dr Steel's Toy soldiers there, and that was pretty awesome.

I managed to restrict my spending to about $75. I got 2 different Evangelion random figures boxes and Kingdom Hearts cloud figure. The 2 eva boxes contained the worst possible figure out of the sets, pretty annoying.
Edit: Also I tried to get my hands on 2 pokemon cards that have dodged me all these years (holo flareon and holo dragonite), but when I got the folders they were like the only 2 missing from their respective pages. ARGH!

So many comics to sort through, you really need to know what you are looking for or your head will explode and then the remaining pieces will implode a few moments later.

Well, I had a decent time on saturday. Spent the first few hours being bored as shit due to the organisers not giving us any uniforms or jobs until about 11 or so. Later in the day though I was working 'crowd control' for Jhonen Vasquez, which was pretty cool. Not that I had ever heard of him, or am even a fan of his work  but it was fun acting all 'security guard'ish.
Another highlight of the day was when I didn't recognise Todd McFarlane, so didn't let him into one of the secure areas until he said "I'm Todd McFarlane" and I realised my mistake... I had made it a point to memorise the appearance of the actors that were doing signatures in case one of them wanted to get in, but they didn't have photos of the non-actor celebrities so I had no idea who he was until he explained. In any event my ignorance resulted in the dubious honour of being spoken to by a celebrity  .

I'll post more details later. No pictures unfortunately, lapzod got a few though.
btw I met everyone smurr met, plus Ciel (well I saw him) and mangaman. Sorry to everyone who only went Sunday for not wearing my hat, and sorry to Pixie for not finding you. Was your booth the one selling pro AND anti-twilight shirts? My mates talked about that complaining how they should only sell the anti twilight shirts.
Oh and FMA Brotherhood was awesome =D

That's ok puddin... next time.
I was working at the Mr Toys stand on Saturday but had no-one to look after my games shop sunday so I wasn't there yesterday until 5pm to help pack up. I must admit I was too busy to keep an eye out for your spectacular PALGN hat creation. I was the blonde (which isn't the popular hair colour according to the post your pix thread) in the team jacob shirt. I couldn't take many photo's of the cosplay people cos we were far too busy... I loved the Mario and Luigi guys!!! oh and how cool was the skull kid . Sounds like everyone had a ball this year but I'm thankful it's over cos I haven't had a day off for over a week!

Hey now, blonde is totally fine. If you're lookin' swish then it doesn't matter what your hair colour is 
Would've been awesome if I was able to go to one of these. Unfortunately I'm in Sydney, would've been sick to go dress up with Pudding. I'd totally dress up as Predator. With that $3000 suit you can buy.
I just need a loan. From Russians.
I'm looking forward to seeing SOME photos as to what you were all wearing though.

Went yesterday with a couple of friends. Was alright, not as good as i thought it would be. But they have just been a reflection of my mood (1 hour of sleep is never good).
Good to see lots of people in cosplay, but not being a huge anime fan meant i had no clue what a lot of people were. Saw about a billion naruto's though.
Also the one thing i wanted to buy was the V for Vendetta graphic novel and it was sold out

V's pretty easy to get a hold of, just check at boarders or something.

Were you wearing a badge that said 'Miss Pixie' ? And were you at the Pig n Whistle on Sunday night?
Also I got to meet Pudding, I was so happy. I love that guy.

Well, I've been avoiding the internet all week.
I was at the Krome booth on both days. Apparently pudz saw me but didn't point himself out.
I managed to spend $100 I didn't have on the Darkness Compendium, and spoke to Jhonen Vasquez for 15 minutes about video games. Decent weekend.

Actually guys, double post. But it's for the safety of the entire internet that I do this.
