Back From Expo

[eastofthemoon]

Hey guys, Stu and I are now back and we had a blast at Fanexpo.

I did take pictures, but I'm still recovering from the con so I'll probably be posting them later.

I did meet Veronica Taylor and she LOVED the Amelia doll I made her. She actually asked me to signed the doll for her, which surprised me. I never thought a favorite voice actor of mine would ask for my autograph. She mentioned that both Amelia and Ash have a special place in her heart so she was very happy to get the doll. (And yes, she mentioned that someone had given her a pokeball at the last con before fanexpo. *grins at tsukeru *) She was also with her 12 year old daughter who couldn't resist adding her own comments to the panel.

Fan: Do you ever do voices at home?
Veronica: No, never.
Daughter: YEAH RIGHT!

XD You could tell that Veronica was very touched by how loved she is by by the fans and she's so nice in person. I also got to take part in a steampunk photoshoot that was awesome. I'm thinking about joining the Steampunk Canada website, it's just too bad I don't have a local New Brunswick group to join. They suggested starting my own, but I just don't know if I have the time for it right now.

I also got Jeff Smith to sign a book and also they had some Disney artists doing free sketches. They were there to help promote a new Disney video game called Disney universe. It looked a bit interesting, but I don't think I'll buy it. I got a drawing of Stitch wearing Mickey's sorcerer hat. I'm so going to frame it.

In conclusion, while I had a lot of fun and got quality time with dqbunny and secondlina I don't think I'll go again next year. It was fun, but I think I'll just stick to nice small cons for awhile.

All in all, I am glad I went.

She really was and her daughter was really cute too. I hope you get a chance to meet her sometime.

I'm glad you had so much fun! The con sounds like it was wonderful.

It's so cute that Veronica Taylor asked for your autograph on the doll. She sounds like such a sweetheart. I really hope she makes it to a California con one day because I'd love to meet her.


I also got Jeff Smith to sign a book and also they had some Disney artists doing free sketches.

Free sketches from Disney artists!? I demand names and scans of said pictures! XD

It was thanks! ^_^

There were two artists, Jeffy Shelly and Yackovich (I'm hoping I spelled his name right.) They each had a list of characters they drew the most to select from. I got a sketch from Yackovich since he had Stitch listed on his, I just had to get one. ^_^
