Fan Expo 2008 (part 1)

Star Wars Jawa at Fan Expo 2008


Jeff and I were married exactly 17 years ago today! We're going out for a nice dinner tonight. :-)

John and Jeff at FanExpo 2008


Fun and busy weekend. I've been spending most of my time at Fan Expo 2008 at the Metro Convention Centre.

Our friend John Kalisz (pictured above, with Jeff) stayed at our place last night; he's one of the featured artists this year. I briefly manned his table for him yesterday; many passersby mistook me for John and I had to gently correct them.

Fan Expo is very different from the much smaller fun-run conventions I usually attend. For one thing, the guests don't tend to charge $30-60 an autograph or for a photo op at fan-run conventions.

I'll talk more about my first experience at Fan Expo soon (positive and negative), but I'm taking off in a few minutes to go back to the convention.

Sparta!


Looking forward to hearing Q&A sessions with Brent Spiner as well as Sean Astin this afternoon. You can see some of the photos I've been taking in my Flickr set.

Hope you're all having a great weekend!
