I just learned of it today, but supposedly, there's a convention bigger than Anime North in Toronto that encompasses comic books, anime, gaming, science fiction and horror. It's called Fan Expo, and it's basically five conventions in one! =o www.hobbystar.com/ComicConToronto2007/CC_Main.aspAnyone in the Toronto area knows more about it? ; Just in the anime parts, they have guests like the creators of Reboot, the team behind Red vs Blue, one of the artists behind the Transformers comic books, the voice actors for Naruto, Ash Ketchum, Goku and much more, while the sci-fi part will have Hayden Christensen and Jake Lloyd (Anakin, young and old), the original Darth Vader, and kid Boba Fett. They'll even have the television serie's Batman, Sam and Frodo (Lord of the Ring, duh) and the muhfuggin' creator of Dungeons & Dragons. D'= It looks huuuuge. ;

I could swear last year they had it at the beginning of September, so I was looking forward to getting there this year, but now it's at the end of August. :( Boo. Maybe next year...

I live off the income of a fucking monk - I can't go to any cons until I have my driver's license, and a steady job... Which will sadly get in the way.

Elijah Wood wasn't there last year. Billy Boyd was supposed to be, after he stopped at another convention somewhere in North America, but that one got cancelled, so he cancelled the trip altogether. It's truly an awesome convention, if anyone's looking to go. Particularly because it does cater to various forms of nerd all in one place. It's been running for a few years now. I went last year. Red vs. Blue is always there, with their dvd sets and t-shirts. Last year also included Alice Cooper, Carrie Fisher, that girl who played that chick on Buffy (not helpful, I know, but her name escapes me), Shatner and Nemoy.... and a bunch of other people. We'll also be running the anime all-night stuff, as far as I know (I'm part of the group that runs it, but I haven't heard anything from the guy that organizes it for us yet). Except this all-night is better than the ones at AN because we intermittently show AMVs and do karaoke. So it's like a sleepover with random people who are all interested in the same thing!

....it made sense in my head. I mean, it's a big group of people spending the night together watching anime and amvs, and doing karaoke. I didn't mean that to be as weird as it came out.
