Thoughts
Friday set-up was good. Just playing the winner of the video contest and not playing _my_ medicore video?
Botcon played all the entries.
Thanks to Stormrave , Ultraprimal, Phalanx for the cake and pizza.
They provided it, right? I am so terrible with names.
The drawing class was.... well I can already draw Transformers so instead of paying attention to what Ninjatron was saying, I took advantage of how still he was sitting and drew a picture of him.

Saturday my table was soooooooo much better than last year. Color prints = good! I have to practice my quick-sketches more, though. Jim Felker had the table beside me which is a VERY GOOD contact for me to make. I meant to start off by drawing Nightbird, but was too charged to focus for that, so instead she just sat on my container of unwanted pogs and drew more attention than any of my drawings.
And I got to see the blonde kid from the table beside me last year. Illith came by and advance paid me for a drawing of "Tentacle Ratchet". I drew Boxitron and took the drawing home to color.
But I'm really kicking myself for not keeping track of how many prints I sold.
Once the dealer room closed, I waited in the lobby a bit with some dudes and used the crayons to color a spare Bulkhead drawing copy into the colors of the Sick Kids charity auction Inferno.
I'll put this photo up on facebook later so anybody who wants can tag it.
Any staff member or volunteer who would like a copy of my TFcon print (free, of course), send me a message over the forums or say hi to me at Fanexpo. I have a lot left over and I don't see myself selling them next year.

I finished the day with Faction Feud. Now I've whined about the trivia contest every year I've been to TFcon because I am a big fat loser. Next year me and Nytetrayn are gonna bring it. ROTF Megatron wore his hat.
Sunday I helped my mom drop my aunt off at the airport and had to wait around a bit so I bought the issue of Entertainment Weekly with Green Lantern on the cover.
Ninjatron and JLvatron's panel about the preview comic was... hampered by technical difficulties. I kinda wish I used that time to prowl the dealer room then instead of during Mary Ryan's panel which was much MUCH more fun than I expected it to be. I asked him if he ever had to sing and he made a baby cry.
David Kaye and Eric Bauza's panel was fun again. I grabbed David Kaye's signature on my Prime drawing and my TFcon print.
While buying a signature from Mark (I think $20 is a little outrageous but I made this print up so I pretty much gotta go for it) I told him that his life sounds like it would be great in book form and as it happens his autobiography is due 2012-ish.
Ninjatron helped me find an combiner limb to buy. Now I have a set and I shall call it Varius Maximus
Mike made me :getout: of the dealer room as it closed so I went to the organizers panel which honestly felt like it should have been longer because I want to know more about the process of putting on the convention. Then one of the staff (
Sean? Shawn? I'm terrible.) helped me get home by clarifying that the Doubletree is actually not in Mistysauga.
Afterwards I went back to the dealer room to pick up a Hasbro box. Before leaving, Protoman gave me another copy of the comic at good discount and explained to me what a Vangelus was.
Then I wandered home and it's certainly fun to ride the bus in Mississauga wearing something that says "Dealer pass" while carrying a box.
