Day two we headed in much earlier, Sarah was worried we were going to miss Brian Krause again, even though he had an extra slot on the Sunday.
So we lined up, after a bit of confusion (there were 4 lines). Apparently a bunch of people were lined up in the same line we did the previous day, only today you were meant to line up in a different line if you had the weekend pass. There were no signs and no staff so a heap of people that were in the front of the line ended up at the back, not too many people happy with that.
Eventually we got in, unfortunately we were let in on the opposite side of the con to the token booth, and since pack of the upstairs was blocked due to the photo area, we ended up running practically right around the top floor to get in the token line.
Some creeper decided to invade my sisters personal space and kept inching closer and closer to her in the line up (don't know if he was trying to cut in or cop a grope) so I lovingly swung my arm around her shoulders commenting on how exciting it all was and proceeded to keep my elbow pointed out as far as I could to give her some space. I could still feel his breath on the back of my hand (resting on her shoulder) though.
Once we got her token, we ran to the photo line up and I pushed her through while grabbing her bag and telling her I'll wait here for her.
He hugged her and she didn't care what we did for the rest of the day.
I suggested we attend the Piper and Leo panel since she wasn't getting autographs, so we checked out the rest of the con while waiting......
Met this sweetie:
Little Joker loved to pose, but hated the sun in his eyes.
These two looked great!
There were only here today, and we departed as much information as we could to them about where things were. (tokens etc)
Trying to get inside
Found myself in a bit of strife
They weren't clearing out after each panel so we went in to watch Shannon Doherty's panel so we could get a good seat at the Holly and Brian one.
Panels were held outdoors in tents, it was freezing inside and the tent leaked so every time the wind blew we would get covered in water.
Some kind of hellish nightmare, but we persevered and got through the two panels.
Holly and Brian were hilarious together, it was such a great panel.
We then picked up Sarah's photo and left for a warm lunch and a thaw out at Nandos in the city.
We had planned to go into the city for a while but were still part frozen from the panels that we headed home for warm showers instead.
We both got one of the Film Ink bags at the con, and besides some other stuff that is probably cool we both got a stress Minion :-) That alone was worth the $8.
