Loads more cool stuff at the expo today. We met and had our photo taken with horror legend Bruce Campbell! Plus old school wrestlers Iron Sheik and Honky Tonk Man showed up unexpectedly, it was brilliant!
I attended a Q and A session with author Max Brooks. He's proper funny, and talked about the process of getting books made into films (his book World War Z is going to be filmed soon).
More costumes
This was a seminar on motion comics, download-able animated versions of comics.
Two Silent Bob's. Left one was better (but both good).
Mario and Luigi
There was a big board games area there too.
This was a Sketch Duel - 2 comic artists drew and answered questions about the industry for an hour, and the pictures were projected on a big screen. At the end they gave away the pictures. They did a few duels over the weekend, this one featured Chris Bachalo, who Lucy had heard of, and another Romanian guy.
Ghostbusters
A film make-up school were giving people free wounds.
The Iron Sheik! This guy is so funny. Since he retired from wrestling he's become famous for throwing tantrums at people at events like this. I watched him for a bit but he didn't get angry. Honky Tonk Man was with him also, but I couldn't get another photo (you were meant to pay for them).
There was a role-playing game all weekend where you carried round a card with pictures of Star Wars droids on and Stormtroopers asked people for them.
More costumes
Bruce Campbell talked for over an hour in his Q and A session, it was brill, talked about his whole career and stuff he's been up to.
Master Chief (of doughnuts) (Graham's joke)
More people autographing:
Spock
Ando
There was a big masquerade show of costumes on Saturday night, here are a few of them:
We had some last-minute work the next day, so didn't make it to the 3rd day, but we'd seen most of the good stuff in the 2 days (I think). Lesley Nielson from Naked Gun was around somewhere on Saturday, but I didn't see him, and we queued for a seminar with Tom Savini who did effects make-up on tons of cool horror films, but he wasn't there. Was a brill weekend though, lots of fun, definitely going again next year if we are over.
