Fan Expo 2008 - Toronto, Canada

[Cyric]

The first one I've ever attended. Meeting Shawnee Smith (aka Amanda) from the Saw movies was the point-of-interest to me. Tomorrow, it'll be Brent Spiner. I apologize for the red-eye as this was the first time I had ever used my new camera, and trusted that the Auto feature would take care of it. Guess not, I'll do better tomorrow. Some costumes I knew, the others were cute/hot, so I took their picture anyway. Anyways, here are some pictures I took/had taken. I scaled them down to 25% of their original size. (I'll add more pictures tomorrow when I get home. There was a guy dressed up as Jayne Cobb from Firefly who did an AWESOME job (even the height thing too), but I couldn't find him when I was going around for pictures.

The celebs:
Art Hindle (left), John Saxon (right) from the ORIGINAL 1974 version of 'Black Christmas' which we subsequently watched. GREAT movie!

Shawnee Smith (left), David Hackl (middle, Director of Saw V), Director of Saw VI (right, can't remember his name)

Shawnee Smith (left), Me (right) - she's standing on her tip-toes, to explain the odd look...lol

Me with the Directors

On to the costumes:
Some World of Warcraft characters

There's always a Cloud

I'm not gonna say Boba Fett, cuz the colours are wrong

Asajj Ventress (left), Princess Leia (middle), and a HORRIBLE Padme (right)

A picture of somebody in a Zero costume that I managed to snap quickly, thought it'd turn out too dark, but it still looks OK

And then the unknowns:
There were 4 in the group, but only these two had the guts to pose

The hottest of them all! IMO

That asian chick on the right was EASILY 6-feet tall, even taking the elevated boots into account

She was really cute, and the first picture I took.

These girls tried to hock (not spit) stuff on me after I took this picture.

They were right next to me while I was resting so I took their picture.

I absolutely LOVE the way this picture turned out! It looks edited but it's not. That's the way the colours went into the camera.

I got my copy of Cannibal Holocaust signed by Ruggero Deodato (), and bought some Batman graphic novels, and wished I had the ability to make some sort of wicked awesome get-up like the cosplayers.

1) That's because that's Jango Fett, not Boba. I am ashamed to know that, by the way.

2) That is a pretty good Zero costume.
