Fan Expo 2008 Day 3

Author: Saku

24 Aug

On my way to Fan Expo 2008

Today is the last day of Fan Expo 2008. It’s not as crowded as yesterday but there were still a lot of people and most of them were looking to get autographs. As usual and what I always do in every convention is wondering around looking for cosplayers and things to buy ^^.

Line up for exhibitors room

I was in such a hurry this morning that I almost forgot to bring my SD card for my camera >.> . Luckily, I checked my at the subway station so I was still close enough to where I live and went back quickly to grab my SD card.

More line ups

Anime wise, there weren’t a lot of things to do at Fan Expo in comparison to Anime North 2008 but I still had fun regardless ^^ especially at Anime that tune game show. The staffs were really generous because they gave away free stuff to everyone such as DVDs and Tshirt which I got one ^^.

and even more line ups

One of star fighter in Star Wars. Can’t remember what it is exactly called.

There is no convention without caramel dancing >.>

Renee O’Connor (Gabrielle in Xena Warrior Princess TV series)

@Larein: Yeah he was there signing autographs but there was not a long line up since you have to pay extra $30 for his autograph.

U had fun and yes, that’s princess leila holding the gun. She looks hot. xD
I saw someone cosplay as Joker in the weekend at Animania but due to laziness, I didn’t take a picture. I regret now.

A very hot loot. I got the Da Capo poster and if I ever get into it, I will post it up. That Mai poster is dam hot. Sweet dreams every night huh. xD
