Review Youmacon 2008

[Michaelangelo]

Hey everyone,

I did not forget about doing this, just I have so little time of hanging out with Slash while she's in town that we've been out everyday and yesterday I had to work the polls... so I'll do a review just give me a little bit.  In the mean time here's a video to tie ya over for the review.

I'll poke Eclipse, Iruka, Slash, Miki, my cous (still needs a nick), and Crittle to do reviews too

[Michaelangelo]

The beginning of my weekend started pretty early with my cousin, as there was a contest at Erebus Haunted House held by channel 20, the winner of the contest was to get an XBox 360. 

I'm going to admit that my cousin really impressed me, his name is in this video so I'll just say he's Bob   That's not his real name any how, but it's what I call him.  Instead of me trying to describe this full thing to everyone, you can watch it here on this video.......

Wolfman Mac is the TV show that I was telling everyone about Wolfman Mac's Nightmare Sinema.  So now everyone gets to see a little bit of him.  I did not know he was going to be at the contest, just knew that the contest was on an ad during his show. 

After the show we went back to my house than had to go to the air port to pick up Crittle than Slash.  The air port was a run around in itself, they switched the pick up area to another area which isn't as good as the old one, they got everyone stopping at one short curb side to where there's not enough room for all the cars going to be there... and I thought the old area didn't have enough room... at least the old area had one side for buses, taxi's and such... this area had us all mixed together and I didn't really care for that.  We got Crittle in the car than drove to the international air port for Slash... I didn't know if she was flying straight in or if she had a lay over some where else in the US... it took us a half hour to realize her flight wasn't coming in this area... so we went over to the Delta pick up area and I went in... sure enough I saw her flight on the list and where the luggage pick up was, so I went and waited there.  When I saw her come through the doors, I knew it was here.  Yay she didn't even have to wait for me, I got there in time.

We got her luggage and went to the car, from there we drove to National Coney Island (anyone who's come to visit me has hit this place at least once... it's one of the few 24 hour places to eat where I trust the food ).   We were there for awhile, than went back to my house watched music videos than went to sleep.

****  Sorry there will be no Thursday pictures from me, my camera deleted my pictures from Saturday and earlier on me before I could save them.  I only have pictures from Sunday of the con.  I will try posting more video to make up for the lack of pictures, Slash does have pictures from the full weekend so I hope that she is willing to post some here for all to enjoy.  I will also try to get pictures from Miki to post on here. ****

[Michaelangelo]

Sorry about the video in the earlier post, seems it was 3 minutes too long so youtube removed it.  I gotta edit it into two parts but don't have the stuff to do so on this computer.  Oy...

[Michaelangelo]

Thursday, we got up and started to get around.  With getting baths in, getting stuff together and pulling up a map to the convention center.  We also did some shopping, this is when I learned that Slash likes to shop.  We had fun checking out Turtle stuff around K-Mart.  Bought a handful of things, mainly food.  She got a Donatello mutating toy, collector edition with the ooze canister.   Than we found ourselves hanging out near the candy area where I grabbed a few bags for treats.  We finally got on the road and drove up to the convention center, we went in and right away I felt lost and out of place in here... it's a new building and from first sight it's not something you think is part convention center.

We went looking for con ops, everyone started to stop me asking me if I was working the con this year.  Crittle and Slash both agreed that I should have a shirt saying "I'm not on staff this year" hehehe we finally found Con ops, hidden behind the elevators.  They didn't have badges in to pick up yet.  Than I had to contact the con chair for Bobby, to see what's going on with him because he's suppose to be working the con this year...  while on the phone the con chair asked me if Slash made it ok, and I told him yes.  He said he wanted Slash at the convention center at 7am, to be interviewed by Fox 2.

Now anyone in the area can tell ya that Fox 2 is one of our main news stations, I don't know anyone who does not watch it.  If you say turn on the news, the first one people think of is Fox 2, they got news almost all morning long, and they're good at it.  It's the channel you watch to get free movie passes, it's the station that brings you the best weather reports, and has a very friendly local news team.  Yeah I sound like an ad for the station, but that's only because I do respect that channel that much.  So I was happy to hear the idea of her being interviewed by our local Fox!

We agreed to that and got things worked out about what is going on with Bobby.  I talked with a lot of people I know at the convention, and even opened up my laptop to show the video of Bob eatting bugs to people   Though we couldn't stay long we had a live show with Wolfman Mac that night.

So we left there, got home and than went to the Magic Bag theater.  This is where problems started.  I had Mac's permission to bring the people to the show, so we shouldn't of had a problem.  I also had to bring props in for the show, so I went to the back door since I was doing a delivery, also because it was close to where I was parked and my handy cap is affected by weather the sooner I can get in a building the better because wind and cold both bring lots of pain into me, I was already hurting bad for being out side so long in front of Erebus the day before.  The guy said I could come in, but not the other three with me.

Now Bob helps the show, and has been an extra on it a few times even wore one of the main costumes for the show to be a stand in one time, so there was no reason for this door man to give him hassle.  I told him that we have permission from Mac to be here for everyone.  He goes in talks to someone and comes out saying "Ok you can come in as long as you buy drinks and donate"  that was ok by me, so we came in and right away I bought drinks for Bob and I, I offered everyone in my group something but Crittle and Slash turned down getting anything.  Than we started to get money out to donate... a guy came up to us and said the front door had to check our IDs... that was ok by us, so we went to the front door and got our IDs out.  I had my drink in hand, as did Bob.  While showing IDs some tall guy walked up to us.

"Are you the ones that came in through the back door?"  He asked
"Yes"
"Well you all have to pay for the show" He didn't seem happy.
"Excuse me?  We have permission to be here by Wolfman Mac, my dad is one of the main artist on the show and Bob here has worked on the show as well." I was not happy.

The debate went on, he agreed to ONLY let me in free and the other three would have to pay.  We talked about it, and decided not to stay.  I went up to the bar to close out my tab, though I couldn't leave with a drink in hand, and I'm not a drinker so I didn't want to rush this down.  While trying to finish my drink one of the door guys came up and yelled at us for still being inside, saying we had to leave.  So I snapped back that I was told to order drinks if we were to stay when I first walked in the door, so I'm finishing my drinks!!  It cost $18 just for the two drinks we got!  He told me we only had five minutes to finish it!  This really pizza'ed me off.

We saw one of the other workers for the show go by and stopped him... "Hey, we got a problem they're not letting us in" we told the guy, so he stood up for us to the big guy and confirmed that Bob does work on the show.  So now both Bob and I can get in, but we still had to pay for Crittle and Slash.  I broke down at this point and told Crittle I'll pay her back.... so she paid since they only took cash.  This really did have me upset inside... I didn't buy these drinks for nothing, I bought them because I was told too... so I spent about $40 there, when this was suppose to be a free evening for the work we've done with the show and all.  It ruined the first half of the show for me, I was so upset by how things went down.   Though mid show some of the cast started to mess around with us and it got me to cheer up a little. 

I don't blame the Wolfman Mac show at all, it wasn't them that did this it was the Magic Bag.  I use to go there for drinks and movies..... now I don't think I will ever return for how rude they were to us when we were with the cast of the show.  My dad was the one who got Wolfman Mac to even go there!  There was no reason for the crap they pulled, it wasn't even a full house!   So yes, I am very pizza'ed at the Magic Bag, they just lost my business for any of their future shows.

At the end of the show, they thanked everyone and even said a very nice thanks to my dad for all he's done for the show, and spoke of how my dad use to work on the Ghoul show.  It was very nice to see that nod to my dad, I wish I had it video taped.  After the show we had to get out of there... mainly because of me... bands were coming on and my arm just can't take the shaking from the speakers... so we got the props that I brought in and left.  When I got home I found out that my dad tried to go to the show with my mom and my sister, the door man would not let Miki or my mom in... when my mom has been to the set many of times and Miki hasn't just been an extra on the show but she's also done art that was used on the show.  Dad refused to pay for anyone, seeing as how much he's put into this show and even got them to the Magic Bag, so the three of them left missing the full show.  Want to talk about a load of crap!   We heard that our family was not the only one they had problems with at the Magic Bag, and everyone with Nightmare Sinema agrees that we're not going back there.

We went back to the house and hung out there for the evening.

End - Thursday
--- No pictures or video from my cameras on Thursday, Slash has pictures so hopefully she'll share some ---

[Slash]

As Michelangelo has bugged me alot while I was there to do a review of the events so..fine I`ll try. Though I may skip parts because my memory sucks 

I loved it all! The fox news thing was embarrassing though, but I`ll live XD


On Friday we got tickets to Maidcafè ( Michele didn`t give up on those so easily, they were all out but she got some extras, and I`ll love her forever for that!) Because at the maidcafè I got to spend time with Mike, Oh god..I thought I was getting a heart attack!  I was all like..OMG IT`S HIM! IT`S REALLY HIM!

Michele introduced me, and he was very friendly to say at least. haha.  I`M NOT BLONDE!
I HAVE BLEACHED HAIR THERE. XD

And I got to meet
 Wayne, who was really sorry that he hadn`t had the time to get Dan Greens atougraph for me. He showed me a photo of Dan in his mobile though yayz a new pic I haven`t seen! 
omg there is so much to say and show. you must have been there to really get it.
I have so much love for Michelangelo and her family and Crittle.
I think I`ll rap it up here. But If Mikey wants me too , I can do a full report later  

[Michaelangelo]

Oh the early morning day -  too early 

We got up and ready for the News report, Slash wore a cool shirt she made.  (I also love the Slash Shirt she made!)  We got in the car, Bob came with us to be dropped off.  We drove to the convention center and found the chair man and crew in the gaming room along with the Fox News Crew interviewing people.  To kill time Slash and I tried to play a game, but it wasn't working to well... like the game was going on without us.  So we just ended up standing around and talking.

Some guy knew me from VH1 so he started to talk to me for a bit.  Talked with him till the news crew finally decided to record Slash... and YES this will be on YOUTUBE when I get home I'll get it on a computer to share   My copy of it from my video camera you can't hear what's being said, but we got a good copy on tape as my family taped the live feed on Fox 2.  After that we said our good byes telling everyone we'll be back later.  We went to BK and got some breakfast and got back to the house.

To find out we can get some free movie tickets, but we have to go with my mom, dad and Miki to another far side of town.  So we went for the car ride, and got the free movie tickets... we were a bit disappointed it was for Saturday morning, when I checked the schedule I knew for sure that Slash, Crittle and I could not go to this movie.  We get back to the house, jump into my car and run over to the Detroit Zoo... Zoo boo is going on, and I wanted pictures of their TMNT display... so I ran in with Slash and we got some pictures, than we went into the reptile house and got some pictures in there as well.  We couldn't stay long so we headed back out of the zoo getting a few more pictures of other Zoo Boo displays. 

We got back to the house and woke up Crittle, than did a few more things before running out the door to the convention.

Once we got to the convention I bumped into the chair man and asked him where the opening panel is, and he showed me a short cut that I couldn't take without him, so I stayed there and held seats for Crittle and Slash to join me.  This is where I first started to see the guest, so I went up and said hi to them.  Mike, Eve, and Wayne were all there.  Though I saw most of the guest, it confused me when I wasn't seeing Caitlin.  I finally grabbed out the Candy I had for everyone and this girl I didn't know said "Michele brought us Candy!"  and I'm like "These are for the guest" and she's "I'm a guest" and I'm like... "I'm sorry, these are for some of the guest I know..."  so I pass out the candy but still got the two in hand for Caitlin... so I finally ask  "Where's Caitlin?" and the girl who was talking to me goes... "I'm Caitlin!!"  I blinked a few times and sure enough under a short hair black wig was Caitlin Glass... OMG she was cosplaying!!!  So I said sorry and gave her, her candy!  LOL

So I went back to my seat and opening panel started... with problems and late... as always... they had a music video to show and the song for it was written by a staff member and preformed by Lemon Demon (one of the bands that seem to be real well known, also for their Potter Puppet Pals on youtube).  The tone of the song was done to "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas, though the song was "This is Youmacon" and it was GREAT!  They really did a great job!

They did their normal introduction and had a Lupin the 3rd video of the badges being stolen to introduce the guest, something they do each year.  A nice touch that Youmacon is getting known for... the best opening panel videos    After opening we went to try and get into Maid Cafe...

Go up to someone and ask where the tickets for Maid Cafe are being sold, run there and they tell us their sold out, maybe someone upstairs will take cash to get us... so we run up stairs and ask.. they say no... they only take tickets and little green cards, I run down stairs and ask if they had the little green cards and if so could we pay for those to get into the Maid Cafe... at first they said no... though I talked a little and worked our way into the Maid Cafe.  We got a table and was served... we had to pay like everyone else so I didn't feel bad though later I found out I could of got in for free because of the badge I had... 

We got a slice of cake and drinks... I got green tea.  Than we started to say hi to people, as the guest began coming around.  I introduced Slash to each of the guest there.  I even got up and went around talking to some myself, I'm not one to stay at a table.  *G*   We got Mike over to the table to meet Slash, and she was so thrilled... right away he brought up blond hair and she's going on about how she's not blond... he also started to grab her cameras... to take picture and video... it was funny!  I learned here that Mike did not have ONE camera with him on this trip.... WOAH did that ever surprise me!!!

Mike than picked at the back of her hair while we were posing for a picture and screamed "I FOUND BLOND!" and we all laughed, it was her bleached hair from when she was coloring her hair.  He had so much fun talking with her.  Wayne even got to come over and say hi to her.  I saw Eve and went to talk to her a bit, a nice one and one talk, which isn't often at a convention... than I turn around to find youtube guy video taping us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd_ERaNHpSY

Youtube guy's video of Maid Cafe - you find Slash, Crittle and me all in it!  Some how I find myself in there a bit it seems.

After Maid Cafe we had one panel - it was the "Yu-Gi-Oh Panel" which I already put a clip up from... I might do one more clip of Wayne doing an add libs thing during the panel.  The first part of this panel was more of a fan panel than a guest panel... middle Wayne took over doing add libs, than it turned into a Q&A panel.  (Can't do any of my video editing from here).

After this we had to go... for a few reasons -  Crittle wanted a shirt like Slash's so we had to get the stuff to make the shirt, we had to work on the shirt, we had to get dinner.  So bam it became time of running.  And another late night of going to sleep.... the theme of any convention weekend is "Sleep, what is that?"  usually it's because I'm at the con late, not because I'm driving all over town

Saturday review coming soon.

Slash I wanna see more reviews, that was fun to read! 

[Michaelangelo]

Well I mentioned a song, well at closing they played a video and as awesome as Youtube dude is, he posted the video with the song!  YAY Youtube dude!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wy0vjea8zw

Awesome for all to enjoy!!!!!!!

[Michaelangelo]

Saturday morning we woke up and got on our way to the con, now Slash has finished the shirt for Crittle and they both decided to wear their huddies over the shirts than open them when they're showing Mike so he spots them at the same time.  The front of the shirts say:

"Michael Sinterniklaas is Hot"  and the back says "If you disagree I'll drop kick you to hurty town!"

So we get up and go into the autograph line, there's a few with the big badge that get to go first in autograph lines, so they came right before the autograph session and stood in a different line.  Mike was late... like always and the line started. 

When we got up to them, I went first so I could video tape Mike's reaction to the shirts.  I had four items for each guest... but the lady in line told me "Only four items total".... so two of my items (the two largest items) did not get signed so instead of going to a panel that Caitlin wanted me to go too... I had to get back in line at the autograph session so I wouldn't have to carry these items in the next day.  Kind of annoying... I get my 4 items signed and video taped the full autograph session (I even have her telling me this on camera).  Slash had Eve hold the camera to video tape Mike's reaction with her video camera.  So we got two different views of this.  I will share mine once I'm home and can edit these tapes.

Slash went to get in costume while Crittle and I got back to the end of the line.  I had a problem this full weekend, my left knee was acting up bad, really it started up a week before the con to the point where I even bought a knee brace (which I can't seem to find)... so in line I sat down on the floor and when it was time to move bumped into a new problem...  I could not stand up.... not at all!   I tried and tried and tried... but the pain was too great, Crittle than tried to pull me up... but even with me using all of my strenght to help try and get me to my feet... it was as if the fight was out of me.... I finally thought of away to get up, without using that knee at all.... and decided not to sit on the floor for awhile.  We get up to Mike and Wayne than have them sign my two items I had left.

After that we went to the NYAV Boot Camp panel.  It was another dubbing panel, I do enjoy that each time we do these panels they're doing a different show.  This time it was Tamagotchi, already loosing my voice I knew I couldn't hand a happy little squeeky character that and my leg was in a lot of pain so I didn't try to take part in the panel... not like I normally do or anything.

Everyone who did do voices though ended up standing right in front of us, blocking our view... so for the final play of the version they voiced I had to stand up and put my tripod on my chair so that my video camera would get the screen instead of the back of people's heads.

We stayed in that room for the best panel ever!   'VOICE ACTING RADIO'  this was Kyle's panel that he brought to the con after seeing it done at conventions out west.  It's where voice actors read an old radio script.  The script we got was a "Flash Gordan" show from the 1930's.  Michael was Flash, Wayne was a mad Scientist and a Lion Guy, Eve was a Princess, Caitlin was Dale (Flash female friend he was traveling with), and Patrick was an evil Emperor.  Kyle did the narrator.  They also brought a fan from the crowd, Lucas (who calls himself the Voice Acting Ninja) to play a slave.  The skit is 19 minutes long and one of the BEST things I ever saw these voice actors do at a panel.   Now this is up on youtube by someone else in three sections... (you can see the back of Crittle, Slash and I in the front roll) though I have it in one video file on myspace for anyone who wants to see it as a whole.

http://www.myspace.com/IveyAngelo  - go to my videos.... you do NOT have to have a myspace account to view videos here.  (I just tried without being logged into any of my accounts).   So anyone can go to this account to watch the video.   I noticed that my other myspace video where I gave a direct link isn't working.  Though I'll still give a link to this area for you... hopefully it works...

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.showvids&friendID=25163510&n=25163510&MyToken=655db3d1-0dc0-4701-8b7a-f827f8f7870a

After VA radio we went to the dealer room, than to another Autograph Session, this time with some of the other guests Kyle Hebert, Toshi Yoshida, and Trish Ledoux.   During this time Slash got her costume off.    After the autograph session we went looking for Eclipse and Iruka... on the way I know I saw my sister but by time I got to the area she was, she was gone!  I did finally see where she slipped by me on my video... she didn't even notice us...   we ended up going up stairs to the Con Suite to find the two them, I introduced them.  We hung out there for a little bit, though with all the pain I was in and also since I told Mike I would copy some video footage for him onto a CD... we had to leave. 

We went did some more shopping, than got to my house where I worked on the computer till about 4am, getting a song from NYAF that Mike and Tom did, along with VA Radio, and a bunch of photos of Mike with fans through out the years onto a CD.

Sunday Review Coming Soon!

[frenzy]

Nice reviews so far :]! I'll try to start working on some of mine tonight. Hehe

[Michaelangelo]

Once again we're running late as I needed to finish up the disk I was making for Mike.  Once we got there we should of been late to the Potter Puppet Pal panel... but they were late starting.  The line was all the way out to the lobby, so we got in line and I was able to catch the beginning of the panel.  Near the end of the panel I made my way towards the exit, catching the last part of the panel than leaving for our next event which was a panel with Kyle, "Anime Auditions".

I sat through this panel video taping... got a lot of Youtube jokes.  In this panel Kyle had people do auditions for Anime Characters.  I was half tempted, but decided not too with my knee and my voice both not working to well for me.  One guy did get up and do this, than later gave me his card to get a copy of the video... it was the same guy who played the slave in the "Voice Actor Radio" (which I didn't realize till later). 

After doing that panel we went back to the dealer room for one last time around... than headed up for the last autograph session with Mike, Wayne and Eve.  Got our handful of items signed, and talked a bit.  Than we headed to the "I get paid to say this Panel"

This panel was fun, there is going to be some footage from the panel I will put up... like Michael S. got asked by me... by request of Slash... to sing the "Fast Forward" Theme song.  Yeah, that is going to make youtube when I get home to do some editing work.  I did throw out a question meant to stump them all at one point during the panel, which from the characters of other voice actors on this panel would you want to play...  just to be a little different... from the "If there was another character out there who would you play" and as I thought they did goof around with it, instead of taking it serious.  Mike goofed off of Joey and Wayne goofed off of Dean...

At one point when I checked my camera and headed back to the chair, someone spoke up... "Are you the girl from Totally Obsessed"... she took me off guard... most people don't know the name of the show, just say "did I see you on VH1" and some people mistake it for MTV.   During a panel I knew I couldn't really talk but I just smiled up to her and said yes, than made my way back to my seat.

One of the fun things about this panel was that Toshi Yoshida had his son with him.  And he was playing, and he got under the table at one point and was singing.  He had a game of some sort and wanted to know why the box was hard.  A lot of funny moments came from this.  You don't normally see the family of the guest during conventions, and it's always a nice touch for the fans to see that these are just normal people with jobs, they have lives outside of their work. 

Sadly during this panel Crittle had to say good bye, she went up to the mic and said her good bye and got to do one thing she always wanted to do... she hugged a Venture Brother Script... than she had to go catch a ride with my mom and dad to the air port, Miki went with her.

Slash and I finished the panel, than went to closing.  At closing they played the video of "This is Youmacon" that I posted earlier... and said their thanks and it was done.  I said good bye to some friends than went to the lobby and hung out with Slash.

While sitting there, someone came up and started to talk with Slash and I, it took me a second but than I realized it was the same girl from the panel that asked me about "Totally Obsessed".  So we sat around and talked for a little, I gave her my card with the link here and showed her some of my music videos.  Mike came back from a store run and she was nice enough to use my camera and get some pictures of us with Mike as our good bye to him before he had to leave.

Now I do my own little official welcome to this new member of TMNT-L, Welcome to the forum frenzy!!!!  Thanks for joining us, and I really did have a lot of fun talking with you at the con.  Seeing as how we're both Michiganers we should meet up sometime to hang out. 

I'll post pictures soon, and anymore video that I post will happen after I get home from visiting Phoenix. 

I'm looking forward to reading more reviews from others who came!!!!

[Slash]

I`ll start with friday ( cu`z my brain is not functioning right now and I can`t remember thursday XD )


As Michele already wrote and as I said a bit, we got up early in the morning ( 6am!) to get ready for the News report at Youmacon. I was freaking nervous!  First time in my life evah to be interviewed LIVE for tv. I was seriously considering to hide beneath a stage haha.
But the interview went smooth, the reporter asking me who I was there to meet ( Mike of course) and asked me to say "Goodmorning" in swedish.

After that we headed back to Michaelangelo´s house after getting some breakfast, (I changed my shirt on Crittles request) and left Crittle once again for going with her parents and sister to get some tickets for Madagaskar 2. Unfortunetly we couldn`t make it to the movie that was on saturday. ( I`ll rather see Mike than that anyway XD )

We also took a swift visit to Detroit Zoo, took some pictures of the TMNT display and some cute turtles   We had to run though and headed back to the house to get Crittle for the con.

Once there we lost Mikey. yeah we did haha. So me and Crittle stood in a loooong line for the opening ceremonies. And not long after that I spotted...Wayne. 
OMG.
" Isn`t that Wayne Grayson?"  I asked ( with some panic in my voice haha ) Crittle who said yes.
He was heading towards the restroom, and while he was in there I got my chance to get my videocamera up, ready to tape.
He came out after a few minutes talking in his mobile phone.  I learned later that he noticed me and that he told his wife that somebody was videotaping him. ....embarrassing not? and it was totally in vain too. I must have pushed the wrong button because I didn`t get him on tape. DARN. XD

After that embarrassing moment we got inside to the ceremonies and looked for Mikey. She was seated upfront so we got there. I was blushing like mad because I realized that Mike and Wayne sat just a few rows behind us.
And Crittle wasn`t late to make fun of me. you`re all evul, but I love you guys X3

The opening finally started with a funny version of "This is Halloween" that was re-written to suit Youmacon. They joked a little and welcomed us to the con.

After that we "ran" to get some tickets for Maid café but they said it was all sold out. But Mikey didn`t give up so easily and in the end she got us in. ( I LOVE YOU)

At Maid Café we got a table right by the door, with some people I didn`t speak to. ( I`m shy!)
I got myself a lovely chocolate cake....ooh drool.
Then Mikey decided to abandon Crittle and me at the table and go and walk around in the café. After a while she turned up again this time she introduced me to Mike.
Oh shell.. When I saw him my mind was like BOOM. all blown away. and I had my heart in my throat XD
I loved the expression on Mikes face though when Mikey said I was from Sweden and he asked why I had come so far.  "For you"
Mike: O__O FOR ME?

hahaha.

He spotted my ninja turtles earrings and started to poke at them. and after a while he went over to my hair.

I`m really annoyed on people that thinks that Swedish people talk like Swedish chef from the muppets and that we`re all blond. XD Mike get`s away with it because he`s funny, sweet and cute.

And he really did find some blond in the back -___-: I`ve bleached it to color it purple so I missed a spot.
Then he borrowed my videocamera because his reasoning was: " If I`m getting filmed you have to be in it too" .  And I really can`t escape either.. XD

Oh yeah, I was totally afraid that Mikey would say something about the newsreport for Mike that I went: "Don`t say anything about...!"
Mike: "About WHAT?"
Me: NO! Don`t say anything!
Mike: WHAT? *standing infront of me, grabbing my vrists in a tight grip*
Me:  O__O ............*fights to no avail* T_T


Epic moment was when ..was it Caitlin or Evelyn that grabbed Mike´s shell? XD she went: "Buns of steel!"    and later  Crittle had some fun at me.

Crittle: Poke him.
Me: No.
Crittle Poke him!
Me: *pokes Mike who`s talking to the others*  You satisfied?
Crittle: Poke him again!
Me: No!
Crittle: Then lay your arm around him like you`re getting ready to take a picture and then..*shows me with her hand what she wants me to do. ( grab Mike´s shell XD ) *
Me: NO! They would throw me out.
Crittle: I just want to know if Caitlin Glass is right.
Me: -paus- That`s called sexual harrassment.
Crittle: *laughs*


Wayne got up to me and said hi, Asking me if I was the girl who was a big Dan Green fan.  and said he was sorry that he hadn`t gotten an atougraph for me. He showed me a picture of Dan in his mobile phone though. soo wiee--X3

He signed my Youmacon program leaflet ( in the back..poor guy. D: we need more atougraph pages! ) " Thanks for making the trip! you`re awesome!"  was his words
Mike had signed it before him, with a funny note in it. haha.

After saying  bye to Maid café we headed to our last panel of the day. The Yu-Gi-Oh! one. Where Wayne  and Evelyn was the main guests.
I didn`t find the panel so good organized but enjoyed Wayne`s add libs and his Dartz voice thingy I asked him to do. Wayne  was great and he did his best to keep the panel up and running. And he was awesome to give my friend who couldn`t come an atougraph. Mike decided to show up when the panel was over and we got to talk to him more. I tried to take a picture of him holding Crittles giraf, but My hands were shaking so badly that Mikey had to take over.
Then Mike decided to snatch the camera and take some pose photos of himself. I don`t complain

Then we headed out to get some food, get some material for Crittle`s shirt she wanted me to make and getting home.

Totally awesome review Slash!!!!  THANKS!  I really enjoyed reading, and got a lot of laughs of the good memories from the con.

Sorry I'm so good at disappearing at cons, mainly it's to help keep things going well for those with me
