BOTCON HIGHLIGHT PHOTOREEL. TO THE MAX.
ffffff I was going to make this beautiful, intricate ~vacation~ update with all the photos from our trip + stories tonight but I've been summoned to Niagara Falls with Dave and Jordan for fireworks and shenanigans and need to run like now.
SO INSTEAD, here's the highlight reel from just Botcon to tide you over. I say "highlight reel" because we took over 600 photos from Tuesday-Sunday and I haven't been through them all yet. so below the cut I mostly posted pics you might be missing instead of 120 shots of Motormaster or the Bee statue or whatever else. mostly shots of awesome people. and a Lamborghini! as always, I can send originals to anyone who's looking for them :)
found Bee alone in the parking lot on Thursday's registration night :3
sneaky Challenger hiding among the other cars. if Dave hadn't called it we would have missed it.
and we're walking...
uh, Hotwheels had a car show-ish thing on at the convetion at the same time as Botcon. here's a Viper, just for the hell of it.
aww. everyone hated Cliffjumper. I don't care! still thought it was funny.
om nom nom $10 sammich.
the only thing more expensive than sammiches: fresh fruit.
o hi Bob. we didn't take a ton of photos at the panels (and NONE in the dealer room, now that I think about it. will bug the rest of you for those later...)
laaadies. Quid, April, Chai, super nice chick whose LJ name I completely forget *fails hard*, Ruu, Shadow, Shannon, Abby/LD, some noob.
take two!
and we're still walking. this is apparently like, Dave's favourite shot or something. we literally have over 30 photos of me just hiking all over the place throughout the trip.
sup? it's hot.
moar Hotwheels.
the most confusing Ironhide ever?
Motormasterrr.
and how!
Soundwave Nikes. fantastic.
view from the Shack the Dolphin.
getting ready for the Saturday night gala.
what happens when more than one camera is going off and no one knows where to look :P
o look, Masq and Art! awesome! and my supershoes make me suddenly taller than the group.
and again!
the pre-gala photoshoot. thanks a lot, entire table, for not telling me my dress was that hiked up the ENTIRE TIME. ffff XD
it's a small miracle the entire gala didn't get a free show...
repping the bayverse & laughing at the barrage of cameras.
Shannon and Abby <3<3 sadly blurry :(
what. is. going. ON. think that second long island iced tea might have kicked in?
ACTUALLY, ABOUT THAT. STORY TIME. the second time Dave and I went back to the bar to buy my/Shadow's iced tea and Chai's drink I had to run back and get my ID. the bartender was this fucking hilarious New Yorker guy. our conversation was like..
bartender: you're from Ontario? I love Ontario!
me: I love New York! we're like, practically neighbours!
bartender: we are SO neighbours. we should switch houses.
me: done. sold.
bartender: damn right.
me: lets set this up after the gala.
bartender: you better believe it. *makes drink a double without charge*
yay! April and Quid :D
Peter Cullen. our limited photos really don't do the gala justice. there was Highway To The Danger Zone for fuck's sake.
...AND THEN GALLARDOS HAPPENED.
Shannon touched it. I was like :O
agreed!
see you in Pasadena, bitches!
as for the rest of you, get those photos up! yes, I'm kind of terrified to see how the batch from Friday night turned out (all my bruises are gone *cries*) but curiosity is slowly getting the better of me haha.
