Wondercon 2010
Went to Wondercon last weekend with telemosquito and had a lot of fun.
Highlight was the Star Wars The Clone Wars pannel. They had the supervising director and the voices of a couple of the characters there (including the kid who played and now will voice Boba Fett). Also saw a cool painting of Jan in the Pan from The Brain That Wouldn't Die!
Here's the haul from the con. On our nice light blue Shonen Jump bag we have an evil Master Shake (is that redundant?) postcard obtained from the RadicalAxis pannel (the animation studio for ATHF, Archer, etc.), a Street Fighter 4 gamepad (needed a good d-pad for my new Xbox360 and this will fit the bill nicely), a Resident Evil: Afterlife 3d t-shirt (obtained for free with purchase of aformentioned gamepad) and a plush Kitsunerius / Teto from Laputa / Nausicaa.
It was my first Wondercon, but it has certainly convinced me to go again next year. It reminded me of the behemoth con (a.k.a. Comic-con) circa 1999/2000; just as the movie and TV studios were begining to invade but hadn't taken over yet. It was very nostalgic in that way. The convention season begins!
