Obligatory Expo Post

(that I only do some of the time…)

  • I didn’t have anything friday for the first time in a while so didn’t arrive at 5pm for once which was nice
  • I still have a 3D file for printing an ironman hand for doing tony again in future. modeling takes ages…but! eddie and jemma did some hair related magic that was really cool
  • there might be vintagey photos coming of the others cosplays that day…maybe…if they worked out.
  • the ibis hotel doesn’t have an extensive dinner menu
  • expos new queuing and entrance policy is bizaar
  • yes put your only entrance up a flight of stairs, cause its not like you already have an accessibility problem…
  • and it bottlenecks everyone i’d imagine
  • apparently there was a lift (I didn’t see it but I was alright with stairs this weekend) but apparently it was also tiny so i doubt it meets the regs to count as a disabled lift
  • our hotel was about ten paces from east entrance so ot being able to go in their even though it was really quite was a blow
  • saturday doing will from hannibal was fun
  • and i stil need to watch more hannibal sorry
  • mel kept telling me how good i looked from existing simularity I think? I enjoyed it and I enjoyed having stubble xD and kind of being handcuffed to things  though i may try and make the jumpsuit thing fit better for future of this one
  • or i could possibly put another of his outfits together for when we do this again? that could be fun
  • we met loads of really great people doing this one
  • oli was hella good as alana 
  • I tried doing kissing in photos and it was interesting
  • then the hail came…and we retreated to the hotel room to dry off and eat snacks for a bit after wrapping sams awesome tattoos in bin bags to protect them
  • we discovered the wonders of just eat on saturday evening and i nearly fell asleep at eddie and jemmas
  • sundays reg shoe cosplay didn’t quite work out cause I couldn’t get the crossbow bolts rigged up properly 😦
  • but I still really enjoyed doing it (and it was the glorious 25th!) so might have to again when i figure that bit out
  • it was also hilarious cause i got quite a few ‘i’m trying to place this’ looks then them taking two places past me and going “its discworld!” and pulling me round for a photo 🙂 (shout out to the guy who went “oh dud thats really awesome” very loudly, I liked you
  • but I haven’t acctually seen any of the ones taken so it’d be great if anyone else can point me in that direction
  • I’m really tempted to repeat this with cross bow bolts at lfcc if i can go for more than one day, as we’re hopefully coordinating something the other day? (it wont be the 25th but that wont be a convention day again for a while now)
  • speaking of we really underdiscussed that and we should do so now for people who were thinking about that (sorry)
  • I used my laziest ever cosplay purhase of clip on brace buttons which were very useful
  • dinner in the evening with les amis was amazing and it should be an expo tradition (though i had to run off for a train 😦 so maybe on saturday next time?)
  • I’m sorry this is so long
