Interesting! I always want something like this here in Vancouver! I have always been jealous of people from Ontario for having lots of event like this.

They should be able to do lots with voice actors. Tons of them live in BC.

I'm not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that Fanexpo is putting this on. To me it would be better if you guys had a local group doing the event.

Yeah, me too. I'm glad we are finally getting a big comic convention in Vancouver. Now I'm curious as to what the convention exclusives are.

If you are going Toy Gremlin, do you want to give us kinda a report from the event, take some pictures and the like? Kinda give us your overall impression?

We will be front paging this in April and it would be great to hear some details from someone who attends.

I'll see what I can do. At the moment, I'm still not sure if I can attend or not. Need to see if I can get those days off from work.

Kristen Bauer would be cool to see. She's one of the best things about Tru Blood.

"Sookie! I am so over Sookie and her precious fairy vagina! And her unbelievably stupid name! F**k Sookie!" lol.

I might end up going. Might not. April is around the time I start to spend weekends on backcountry hikes, so we'll see. I'd like to go.
