I attended Fan Expo 2007 over the weekend.
Essentially the Expo is a combination Horror/Sci Fi/Anime/Comic Book nerdfest. If you have a nerdly peccadillo and live in the GTA then the Metro Toronto Convention Center was the place to be.
Some highlights.
1. Jonathan Frakes
2. 2$ Comic Books
3. Frank Quitely
4. John Romita Jr.
5. Autograph Mania
6. Green Lantern
Some lowlights.
1. Fighting your way past a storm trooper in full armour with a helmet that has destroyed his peripheral vision.
2. Creepy middle age Anime fans. Not middle aged anime fans. Just the creepy ones. You know who you are.
3. Lineups.
4. Line Capping.
I had a great time and I wish Scott had badgered me into doing this a couple years earlier. I walked out with a ton of comics and I got to see artists and authors I really admired. Oh, and we capped the night off by going to see Superbad.
Now that is how you party down my friends.
