Although I was at Pennsic for the last two weeks, biggest event on the SCA calendar and all that jazz, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a side trip to GenCon, not only because it meant I would get to stay with Ninja Steve and his family again (who I totes heart), but also because it meant I’d get so see so many other cool folk who I hold near and dear, and score myself some shinies in the process. My wallet may never forgive me, mind you…
Every good gaming convention road trip should start with omnomnoms…
There’s more than a handful of comic conventions in the Toronto area, but the largest on the calendar is FanExpo in the Summer. This isn’t it, but it’s put on by the same people, so… 😉 It’s basically a smaller scale Fan Expo. Still has some neat geek celebrities, but for my purposes, it’s perfect. Plenty of cosplayers and vendors, plenty of artists looking to sell their art skills and oh-so-keen to add to my Beta Ray Bill sketchbook… On Saturday I took Gdaygirl and her friend to Toronto Comicon, where they cosplayed for the very first time. They insisted that they needed to wander around without parental supervision, so I was – for a few hours – unsurpervized myself as I wandered the convention floor…
