well, comprable to most other peoples opinion this expo had a MASSIVE upside for me hanging out with the somewhat re-forged ChumpForce in the street fighter group all saturday was an absolute blast.
arriving earlier than usual on friday night wasnt as helpful as i thought it would be so i might not be too concerned next time though i did meet some new faces and get a little disgruntled with some old faces and their idiocy.
Saturday as i said was Legend, got straight into the Ken costume loaned to me from Jake Kimber aka White Leviathan, and realising with the wig on i looked quite a lot like Boris Johnson so i alterd the fringe xD.. going upto Jakes room for a pre-expo meetup and chat took longer than planned but was pretty funny watching superglue massacre jakex's shins. and watching Jake and Sam Frain getting oiled up was pretty funny too. expo que boggled my mind at its layout.... reminded me of cattle hearding. getting inside i was impressed we not only had a bigger hall but a better turn out of epic photo op's with the warthog, BTTF Delorian and the Ghostbusters Car all being around as well as large Capcom and Koei setups in nicely spaced out areas. Many photoshoot requests were made and a lot of running around was in order but it wasnt a problem for the mighty chumpforce. The masquerade was when i discoverd the wonderful IronMan costume that i thought was a statue >.< ... and then i stepped into the mushy mess of the exposed rubber flooring which kept gluing me to the floor xD ... i later found out it was the floor sweating >.< ..... the maasquerade was great fun! and the other entries were fantastic, and the night was a drunken mess 8D...

Sunday was slower with less people around and i wasnt really interested in my costume for once so ive hung up my shinigami robes for good. i spent a lot of the day wandering around with odd groups of people, got a brief photoshoot moment with the bleach people and i was off again. spent a lot of time hanging in the cafe part of the lobby with some of our founding chumps xD... got some great photos there. then the epic night.... Okiwari's.., great people, kareoke, a lot of drink... and a lot lot of fun... definitely more fun than ive had at the last few expos. im really chuffed this time! and im planning similar for next time.
