Middle and Eldest Weasel meet a Clone Trooper and The Master Chief.
It’s the first Fan Expo here in Vancouver. Sure, we have V-Con, and probably there are other comic-based events happening now and then but there’s one crucial difference. We were going to this one. We’d missed San Diego Comicon the year we were in town, and the planned trip to Emerald City didn’t pan out. Flu prevented our attending the Bellingham Comic convention.
Hey, hey, the gang’s all here…Well, except for Robin. And Joker. And the Penguin…
So we checked out the website. We downloaded the vouchers that would get the younger weasels in free. We didn’t buy the actual tickets though. How busy could it be?
Hey look! It’s…er…ah…Well, her dress is pretty.
Maybe we should have raced to the Convention Centre as soon as we woke up, but it was a lovely day. We walked the dog, dawdled at a yard sale…we enjoyed ourselves. And meanwhile, it seemed, every other person in North America was arriving at the Convention Centre. When we reached the doors at noon, they were having to turn people away, since they were already sold out.
So…we took advantage of the sunshine and the wandering cosplayers to amuse ourselves.
It was a great spectacle, and we probably saved ourselves a fortune by not wandering the halls and seeing the wonderful merchandise, or the various stars arrayed to sign their photos…But we’ll be back for next year. And we’ll be in our OWN costumes.
I will not be going as Supergirl. Even though I have the abs for it….
What’s the greatest event YOU’VE ever missed?
