i_paint_the_skyFirst day of FanExpo was fun but ... interesting. I wanted to pop into La Senza before going over so that Alison could see my costume but then apparently a streetcar caught fire at Spadina station or something? IDK. But there were shuttle buses. And they didn't come. So then we found a group of people in costume and were going to split a cab ... which also didn't come. So we started walking and then after awhile we saw an almost empty shuttle bus which let us on between stations and took us to St George. So, an hour and a half after leaving home we finally got to the convention (I decided not to bother with La Senza at that point).
And then we see this MASSIVE LINE OF DOOOOOOOOM. And we hoped it was for people who hadn't bought tickets in advance. Nope. That line was even longer. So probably another hour or so spent then. But finally we were in.
We popped into the dealer's room first and saw a few interesting things. Went to the autograph area and not only found out how much Tahmoh is charging but also saw him, which was snazzy. Then we went to a Q&A with Peter Mayhew (aka Chewbacca), followed by one with Dean Stockwell (who has had a MUCH more prolific career than I thought ... guy has been in movies with Frank Sinatra, Katherine Hephburn, Errol Flynn!).
Then we left and did go to La Senza, because my schedule for next week has shifted around a bit AGAIN and I needed to find out what the new shifts were. And now we are back. And it is good.
