Metro Comic Con 2009
the Metro Comic Con was held on August 8 and 9 in Megatrade Halls 1 and 2.
Day 1
was supposed to meet up with Pia and Toyang in GB to watch Jack and the Beanstalk but circumstances nixed that plan. instead, I waited for them to be done with the play then we headed of to Shang and have lunch at Wham. after that, we met up with Char at the venue. for once, not a single one of us was in costume.
day 1 didn't have much in the way of cosplayers. the largest was probably the Hetalia group. my companions felt they were incredibly hyper. compared to their behavior during Cosplay Fusion, I thought they were relatively sedate.
the only other thing we did at the con was pass by Lorra's stall (okay, it was her comic group's stall) but I forgot to get a copy of her comic for myself.
we went to Coffee Bean at some point and were soon joined by Beau. while there, Char was busy fiddling around with my camera and getting more excited about buying her own.
when we had enough of the con, we went to the Starbucks near UA&P where we mostly spent the time talking. Beau did some palm readings for us which were accurate for Toyang and Pia but pretty much completely wrong for me.
we headed home after dinner at Sango.
Day 2
I was expecting Nicole to be present on day 2 but she was too busy packing to go. met up with Char again and went around taking pictures of the various cosplayers.
thing I learned today during the cosplay competition: I really need a lens with a larger aperture. the one I've got is no good in low lighting conditions, especially with subjects that constantly move.
got a copy of Lorra's comic. could have been improved by having a rampaging Lor-zilla but that's true for just about any situation. :p congrats for selling everything!
and now I'm exhausted.
