Sorry I'm late on this but I was uploading my images, I've shrunk my 1007 images taken to 220.

since it would take multiple blogs and destroy any Internet connection if I put them here, I uploaded them all to picasa.


So on day 3 since I was broke I went hunting for free stuff

I filled bags of free stuff, including full sized movie posters, entire episodes of shows fans, and other cool stuff

I also managed to get $20 and i bought a kind of surprise bag from one of the vendors.

in it was lots of imported stuff, Last Exile Vo.1 limited edition (the one with the CD), and an imported CD, never heard of the artist (Nakayama Miho) but the music is ok, and a wall scroll that I'll never put up, there's a pic of the value pack in my images.

and that was day 3

Money I took... $500

Money I came home with... 10¢


Now for the links:

Link to FANEXPO images My autographs are there too, and pics of the stuff I got

I also updated my pics of my collection

Link to my collection


I loved the convention and will definatly go to another one, and i already know when the next one is, November 15th-16th, it's called dotcon, it's not as big as FANEXPO but I still can't wait.

Day 2... it's all just a blur

I woke up at 9a.m., replyed to comments and prepared, went down at 9:30, and waited till 10a.m. when the con opened but I didn't get in until 10:30, I later found the much less known about back door, which almost never has a line(I'll go there tomorrow) between 10:30 & 12p.m. I shopped and spent my other $360 so now I'm completely broke (excluding the $4 in change I have), then I spent an hour walking around bored because I had no money

Then at 1 I went to see the BUZZ ALDRIN PRESENTATION AND Q&A, that went until 2 and was pretty boring, then I had to leave the hall go out and stand in a massive line for the next Q&A in the same room!, the event was CELEBRITY Q&A WITH STAR TREK'S KATE MULGREW, this was hilarious, and totally fun, but I had to leave before the end of it to make sure I made it into the Bleach cast panel. The Bleach panel was also great, I loved seeing Johny my favorite voice actor i also got a little video clip I might turn into a gif, or more probably an APNG, or both. After the panel got out I practically ran down to the signing area to get the casts autographs, even though I ran i still waited for ~2 hours, and I was in the first 1/4 of the line, I can't imagine how long the people in the back of the line waited. The whole bleach cast loved the pics I made them to sign. I then went to LIVE recording of the circuit a show that's on space (the Canadian sci-fi channel), I've set up my computer to record it, to see if I'm in it. I then came back to the room for 10min before I went to get in line for the masquerade, I have lots of pics I'll post later, the masquerade was hilarious, I didn't have the best seat, but that's ok. after that I came back to the room and typed this blog.

I was only there for 2 hours today, it was allot less crowded than i thought it would be, the prices on anime were amazing! I spent 1 hour in line for VIC MIGNOGNA they cut off the line because the con was closing, I just made it to him, when I get home I'll scan all my autographs, and post them with my pics.

Here's all the stuff I bought:

Full Metal Alchemist vol.7-10

Gurren Lagann Vol.1 SE & Vol.2

Tweeny Witches Vol.1 box set

total 7 items @ ~$155

that's all the money I took today, it's a good thing I still have $360 with me

Come back tomorrow for day 2
