FanExpo 2009: Cosplayer Heaven

The Americans have ComicCon, and we Canadians have FanExpo, our biggest convention for all things comics, sci-fi, and gaming. Where the stars come to meet their fans, the latest news of upcoming sci-fi events unfolds, and the geeks congregate. And this blog has more emphasis on the geeks themselves, namely those oh so hot cosplayers that bring the fantasies of our favorite comic and gaming vixens to life.

Who knew 27 years ago how much the silicon revolution would shape the landscape of social interaction, media distribution, and even art and culture?

And with the tremendous advancements made in the technology the first movie heralded, what was shown at the presentation shows how far Tron has come with an even more breath taking showcase. If you haven't seen the TRAILER yet on the Apple site, go check it out now, in 1080 if you can. Aside from that, there was a slideshow shown of the artist concept renders with how many of the familiar settings of the digital world are even more awe inspiring than ever before. But even better than the images presented, was that the convention had an actual full scale model of the new Light Cycle on display. I don't think my photos can fully do justice to this marvel of vehicle design and architecture when seeing it in person. But here it is;
