I going but I don't know if any of my friends are interested, so I'll do the next best thing and ask semi-strangers on the Internet. Works every time, right Mike?

If nothing else, how 'bout some sort of mini-meetup? I'm probably going to go on Saturday for Mr. Amano, though I wish Johnny Yong Bosch wasn't coming only for Sunday.

Guests include Felicia Day and Summer Glau! How can any sci-fi dork say no?

I might be down actually, except I don't know anything about it. I'm passing through Toronto anyway tomorrow though, so...

How do you buy a pass? And does it cost extra for photos with people?

Tickets for tomorrow are $35 at the door, or $59 for Saturday and Sunday. It's pretty steep, but since Amano doesn't leave Japan much, let alone do public signings, it's probably worth the weekend pass.

I've also decided to go on both Saturday and Sunday.

Some (most?) celebrities are charging for photo ops and signings, but they'll be professionally done from what I wrote. You can take pictures of the celebs with your own camera, but not with you in them/they won't pose.

Check here for celebrity locations and such.

Alright, I might go, but if I do it will probably be a spur of the moment thing since I'm not sure yet what time I'll be done in Hamilton. I'll text you if I end up going.

One of my buddies ran into Adam West randomly on the streets. SO JELUZ.

But I was too busy skydiving. Good tradeoff.

I'll be the late replier to this thread :3 I went but FanEx did not win much this year. Previous years were definitely better. Depending on whether they switch back the location and make improvements to their organization I'll return next year. Otherwise, I'm just going to hotel party and have bar/pub hangouts with friends.

I wanted to see him, but spent so much time in line that I didn't have the time to meet him or attend a panel.

...Do you usually win a lot?

I had a great time though. Much money was spent, but only because I don't think properly when celebrities are around. No regrets though, as meeting the people behind the characters (Felicia Day, Summer Glau), voices and Power Rangers costume (Johnny Yong Bosch), and art (Yoshitaka Amano) is an experience that's hard to match.

Also, so much signed stuff. <3

It did seem terribly organized, but I can't hate since I was one of those people they shouldn't have let in on Saturday afternoon. I missed some panels, but had a good time overall.

...So you'll be in the general vicinity when it's going on, but partying elsewhere just to spite them? =p
