Whoa! How close were you sitting in those panels? I like the composition of the four actors picture and the blur on No-Face Attacks.

With the Gurren panel I was sitting near the middle of the room, I did get up and walk closer for some of the pictures I took.  But the first shot of that panel gives an idea of how far away I was.

The rest of the panels for the weekend I was front roll.

Great pictures!  I like how you got it angled on the actors and you can see another on the screen.  Ah, and I remember Mik's No Face costume, I first saw it in 2004.  Looks great as before!  Thanks for sharing the report and pictures!

Hi Ivy! (I forgot if I'm allowwed to use your real name here  ) Anyway, here I am! I told you I'd try to come back! Holly molly I've been away from a long time now. Great pictures! You really must have been sitting close to the table. This year's con was awesome! It's a big shame Wayne didn't get to go, also Dan  . It was so awesome seeing Mike again and talking to Tom Wayland for the first time. I've seen him before at the last con. (that was so embarasing btw what my dad did.) Great con! Please upload sundays pics!

I don't really have that many pictures from Sunday at the Con.  I will upload a pic of the convention center, but really I only sat through the last 10 minutes of one panel.  I'll post my review about Sunday before the pictures...

[Michaelangelo]

Sunday did not go anything like I was hoping for a con day at first.   I woke up on time, but it took a long time getting out of the hotel room.  Once we finally got into the city we only had less than 10 minutes left of the "Who Wants to be a Voice Actor" contest.  This really crushed me, I told everyone we'd be there for this... only to show up very very late.   Shredder was already there and recorded the panel.

After the panel I talked a little to Mike, than went and sat down in a spot in the hall for hours.  During sitting there I got to talk with Shredder, Mike, Tom, Veronica, SimbasPride and a few other that I know from conventions.  I sat there for most of the rest of the show, I walked around the dealer room one last time, than came back to try and watch Closing panel but it was standing only and crowded I... not feeling all that well I found myself back where I was sitting earlier and waiting for the con to be over.  Said good bye to some friends, than took my dad to Time Square for his first time.

I wish I could say I had more to talk about or share during this day, but really there wasn't much going on.  And I was really down about missing the main panel I was going there for.

Oooh I see. Um, I don't see a pic below your post. lol.
