Just saying, no matter how big, bad and weird something is there's got to be something more. But it'll have to be huge to beat this.
This? Oh this is just the queue... the LATE queue. I'm talking thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even more than a hundred thousand people, most of them dressed up as characters from games, movies, and comics. In the lead up to it I couldn't help wondering what I was thinking? Surely there has to be a limit to my geekiness?
No, apparently not. It's possibly the most frickin amazing thing in the world. And totally worth my 4am start to the day.
Yep, I swear it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. And those of you who have met me at events, will know that when I drink I wander around and get distracted by everything. Well at MCM expo... it's like, that times a bazillion and two. I would see a costume I liked and start chasing it to get a better look, or I'd find an amazing stall and stop walking to have a look, letting Mimo and Akira carry on without me. Honestly, I felt kinda bad... except I didn't, cause I did warn them beforehand, and I also got my interview!!!
Yep, I interviewed the amazing Emma Vieceli, artist of Manga Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Hamlet" as well as author/illustrator of "Dragon Heir".
More on that later, but I'll leave you with the photo of me in my costume as Wnry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Wow! Definitly a wild expo. I'm thinking I'd be like you, drifting from here to there trying to get a better look at a costume or a stall. Distracted? Me? Oh look! It's a butterfly!
Thanks for sharing this. Glad you made it out alive to make the report. :-)
At something like this it would be MADNESS to stay in one place, in my opinion :D on the other hand, the entire event is brilliantly crazy so...
Yeah I'm shocked I made it out alive too.
I even made it in time to work at a bar til 2am the next day!!!
very cool and you look aces!
Looks utterly brilliant(ly mad).
Slightly scared by the clown, and whatever is on sale two picture above him. Breasts?
Disappointed by lack of cat ears being worn.
Massive, massive grin from seeing the DeLorean picture.
Maybe the cat ears will come out next time... and yes, Pennywise from IT makes for a pretty scary encounter even in daylight!
The breasts... yeah they're a pervy approach to silicone wrist rests, and were proving worryingly popular. Then i tried them and actually the shape is very comfy so i'm worried about myself too.
The Delorean!!! you could pay to have a photo taken sitting inside it too :D
