Now I can say that I waited in a queue for almost the best part of an hour for no reason at all...that's what myself and ORD did, we were in the massive line for the Futurama panel, but I changed my mind and went off to do my own thing instead. Yesterday, I saw there was a booth selling the comic series "Bone", which I'd heard about but never read, so I decided to buy a big book of the whole Bone comic, plus a separate new one. $51, but hopefully it'll be worth it.
It turned out that Bone's creator, Jeff Smith, was there doing autographs, so I went for it, and he signed both the books I'd bought and my autograph book, very cool indeed.
Popped out to Hot Topic to buy myself a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt. The inner geek in me pretty much took over me today, lol.
After that, met up with ORD again for the Cartoon Voices I panel, which featured a group of well-known voice actors, including April Winchell, Gregg Berger and Chuck McCann. I remember the Cartoon Voices panels in '08, and they were brilliant. This one was too, they did a cold reading of a Cinderella script, and the voices they were letting rip with were just priceless. There were also special guest appearances by Bill Farmer (best known as the voice of Goofy) and Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the duo behind the Ruby-Spears animation company. After the panel I got Gregg Berger's autograph, too.
Last time I was in SD, ORD cosplayed as Bloo from "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", and he brought the costume this year, too, so for a good hour or so we both hung around the Convention Centre, with loads of people taking pictures and posing with "Bloo". I sort of cosplayed as well, with the Adventure Time hat I got, but ORD was way better at it. :nod: Also, we both ran into Maurice LaMarche and Billy West, brief but very cool.
Having so much fun here, I really don't want it to end.
