So, this past weekend was Fan Expo, the yearly trek into all things geeky. Spent Friday and Saturday helping out Drew and Kat at their booth in Artist`s Alley and Sunday bumming about with Tiff. Went as dark Willow this year, with a proper costume and everything for once.
No really big names that I wanted to see this year unfortunately, although I did make Leonard Nimoy yelp when he saw my contacts as I stood in line next to his booth for another thing.
Some really cool cosplayers as always, but I have to say that the definite winner was the X-men Steampunk Troup. Absolutely amazingly cool adaptation on the 80`s series X-Men group!!
After that I bummed back up to my parents house in Caledon in an attempt to strip and re-finish the decks for them before the year is out, as with all things involving my parents and any form of home improvement, it didn`t exactly work out as origionally planned. Including me spending over half an hour ducking the Dive-Bombing Chickadees that were angry with me for moving their feeder before I finally gave up and went back inside.
Will have to come back tomorrow and re-do the whole thing, as well as pulling out the giant mutant cranberry bushes that have taken over the backyard in the last couple of years. Bleaugh.
