Re: Wizard World Toronto Comic Con 2011
It was awesome!! Had a fantastic weekend with the crew at the show. It was busy, but not stupid crowded, so you could navigate the hall and not always be bumping into people.
There were tons of people dressed up as super heroes and such, the 501st garrison was there, the Ontario Ghostbusters, the BTTF Delorean was there. Tons of fantastic artists, including Alex Milne, with whom it is always a pleasure to see and visit! (you too Becky!)
Lots of TV/movie personalities there as well, and because it wasn't stupid busy, the line-ups for autographs and such weren't big at all. I'm not an autograph/picture kind of guy, but Super_Megs and decepticon army got a picture in with Lando, and cheers ian got a good one with Screech.
If gaming is your thing, there was a lot of that going on too. Magic and stuff like that. I'm a D&D guy, so was excited to buy two new sets of dice there! Hopefully they roll well for me!
I found some awesome deals on TFs, and there was a bunch of comic figs and stuff too. There could have been more, but frankly, there was enough to at least have a bit of choice, and the choices were pretty good.
There were Roller Derby girls (some hot, some not), a few of us got to beat on each other with foam/duct-tape weaponry, got to chat with so many awesome people over the weekend. I don't really have any complaints about the show.
It's a young show, so it still has growing to do, but man, what a great time. I really recommend going. Do it if you can folks!
