Is anyone going to this thing? I may book time off work to go. I've never been to the Fan Expo before.

What is this an expo for hardcore fan enthusiasts? Like actual fans, that circulate air.

Funny guy. :razz:

It's a convention for video games, anime, comics, sci-fi, and horror.

That's basically it.

I'm interested in the gaming tournaments, especially if they have SF4. I also want to check out any workshops or seminars that might help me get in the industry, and to see how big the scene is in Toronto. As far as I know, it's non-existent, but Ubisoft is opening an office later this year.

I actually worked at this last year for a promotions company. I was hired to walk around with a bunch of other guys dressed in black pants, black t-shirts and black shoes for the Heroes season premiere. We were supposed to be Skylar or Sylar's minions shouting a whole bunch of bullshit, which I'm glad I don't remember. I did that for two days and then the guy that hired me for the job tried to stiff me so I had to give him the old third world..."GIMME MY SHIT!!!"

Upside...I got to see a lot of cosplay girls, and most of them were decent and not busted like you would expect. I'm sure those chicks get freaky at the after-party for this shit....wait....who's down for the after-party for this shit?
