My review!!!! Just of Friday!
Well I did it. We got enough money scrounged together and I am currently in, New Jersey. Why? Well I am attending, NYCC!!!! Early this morn we went to the convention center and sat down in line at first with Kazari and Ivey. We were just chatting while we waited, then were joined by Crittle, Slash and Miki. It was cool just hanging out when all of a sudden, Ivey let out a shout. In the window where people upstairs could look down at us, were the TMNT in costume!!! I joined in her cheering and so did the crowd. A few minutes later they came down to say hi to everyone in line!!!! It was so great! I got a hug from Leo and Mikey! Mikey made kissing noises as he hugged me!! I loved it!!
The guys then made their retreat and we were soon let into the convention. First thing we did was go in to head towards the Mirage Crew and saw the playmates booth. We stop there and get a good eyeful of tmnt stuff. Some chatting was done then we continued on. Through out the travel we saw the Mirage Crew, The Heavy Metal booth and we got to see Scott. This was my first time meeting him so it was cool!
There was a lot of running around but we did end up back at the Playmates booth. The TMNT were there taking pictures! First it was Leo and Raph. We had fun while waiting there, to rest and for Mike and Don to show back up. When I got my pictures taken with the guys, first I hugged April and both the guys
We took pictures and I told both guys that I adored them! I hugged Leo again and Raph wanted a hug so I gave him another. Then Leo is acting all hurt so I took his hand telling him I loved them all equally. He then kissed (Figuratively mind you these guys are in costume) my hand and I went to sit back down.
While sitting I was going through my bag and for some reason, Leo walked over that way. I think some one wanted a picture just with Raph. Hearing Leo, pretending to be not happy I latched onto his leg going, I LOVE YOU! He was surprised, but amused I could tell and he patted my head. Raph came over then and I latched onto his leg too, as Kazari was trying to step over me. So instead she trips over me and nearly collides into Raph!! LOL!!
Leo then took my hands and helped me up, kissing both hands.. then saw I had a wedding ring on. He was all pretending to be heartbroken! It was so cute!
Soon Raph and Leo left, there was a drawing for a free Ipod then Mike and Don show! Yay! We got tons of pictures! When it came to be my turn, Mikey made kissy noises again then pressed the face of his costume to my face making kissy noises! Yes I am married but I was still ecstatic!!!
Soon it was time to go so we head over to the panel room for the Mirage Crew panel. Next door was the panel for Emissary which had Brian Thompson there. He played Luke in the first season of Buffy and I wanted to get his autograph. At the end of the Mirage panel I went over and heard him say that he has an autograph session tomorrow. Well that answered my question if he would sign anything that night.
Now, after a little bit we are back at the hotel ready to crash for tomorrow. It's gonna be a long day with a lot of standing in line for autographs. Oy! No TMNT stuff though. I hope the guys in the costume are still there but I know for sure they should be there tomorrow!!
Pictures will come soon!

We got up around 7:40am yesterday, Fae and I were the first ones out of the room we headed into NYC and walked straight to the convention center where Kazari already was in line. We sat with her, with permission of the people behind her. And I played on the laptop a little and marked up a map for the booths I wanted to visit. Got that all marked up, than Miki, Crittle and Slash showed up. The line got pushed more forward so we couldn't be as spaced out as we originally were. As I was standing there I looked up and saw the Ninja Turtles through a window on the second floor, I let out a cheer and than the crowd followed... I wish I had my camera, I was so happy when they came down to say hi to us in line!
I got out from the line and walked around getting video of them saying hi to people and snapped a lot of pictures, than got back in line with the others. I sit down with them in line, till it's time to go in. Once we head in I went straight to the TMNT booth that the
http://www.tmnt25.com/ people were running. When there we talked with people, entered their contests, and went took pictures of their toy set up. On display they got the new toys coming out this year and they releases of the old toys were on display as well. There was some of the Mirage red mask toys as well. After we left there we went over to Ubisoft, where we met up with
Bing . Bing hung out with us as we went to find Heavy Metal, on the way there we found Scott Williams, said hi to him than went two booths down and said hi to Kevin. After saying hi to Kevin, ran over to the Mirage booth.
At the Mirage booth we saw Steve L, Jim, Eric, and Michael... I was surprised not to see Peter or Steve M. Found out Peter was at the TMNT booth signing autographs and Steve M. was sick in the hotel room. (I hope he's feeling better today). I saw Blue, Wick and Ninjaplease while there. I also went over and said hi to Danny Fingeroth and had him sign my T-Shirt. He was surprised some one knew he worked on the show. Than I went and got Jim Lee to sign my shirt as well. After that I hung out longer with the Mirage guys, got to say hi to Peter, than I went to the TMNT Booth again, got pictures with the Turtles there. Than went running to the Mirage panel, got there an hour early so Fae and I was in front row.
I sat there for the Mirage panel, it wasn't too surprising that after the Mirage guys said they don't have much to do with the original cartoon series that people kept asking them questions about the original cartoon series. The set up of the panel wasn't the best, Steve L. and Michael sat on one side of the stage as Jim and Eric sat on the other side. So the camera couldn't get them all at once. Jake was standing up front asking the questions, he had a list he had to ask. It was funny cause they wanted him to say words that he didn't wanna say like Shell-Ebration. They talked about some of the future comics coming out this year, and a lot about the past and how much more loose things were with writing the comics. It was a fun panel.
After the panel I talked in a hall with Bing a bit longer, than Fae, Casey and I headed back to the hotel. Miki, Crittle, and Slash showed up a little later.
I got LOTS of pictures I'll be posting later.

What I really wish, is that the Turtle Costumed people could take the heads off and do interviews. That would be rather fun, talking about where they have been, where they are going, and the interesting people they met along the way. 'April' just started with them, so she wouldn't have as many experiences to talk about just yet..

We are at the con now sitting in a panel room waiting for the Robot Chicken panel... got to meet a cool guy who works for Nick that worked on TMNT for a little bit. We talked a little befor this panel started. So far this has been a good event. Lots of turtles.. and lots of fans. I'll give a few more updates through the day... there will still be an over all post for saterday as well.

ROBOT CHICKEN panel is now over. It was a lot of fun seeing as how Casey was wearing a Robot Chicken costume my dad made so he got a lot of attention. Including being noticed by Seth Green at the beginning of the panel. I asked if there was Ninja Turtles in season 4 though sadly there's not. They are trying to come up with something to do with the NECA toys.

In between panels again, right now we're waiting for the Venture Brother panel, as the Dr. Who/Torchwood panel ended. It was a fun panel, they showed a preview for future episodes as Fae and I got to see a bit of Captain Jack on the screen. At the panel was Director Euros Lyn and Actress Eve Myles.
Eve was a lot of fun as this was her first trip to the United States and everyone was so friendly to her. She blushed so much up there, esp when one person asked her what it was like having to kiss a girl for the series. I did get most of this panel on video though the battery died near the end of it, though still staying in this panel room so did not go to the autograph session.
Our group is up near the front of the room now. With us is Crittle, Fae, Kaz, Miki, and Casey. Along with some other friends that we know here a the con. Let's just say we've been keeping busy talking. I'm tired, and hoping to be able to head back to the hotel as soon as this panel is over.
Pain -report -blahness... just needing... eh vent...
We got 15 minutes till the panel starts in the mean time all I can do is this...

Eh.. heh.. ahem. aside from that, today was an insane busy day. Got there early again and first thing I did when I got in was get in line to get an autograph from Kim Harrison. While waiting I found out there was a booth handing out books that she wrote, for free! Well one fo them really, so I hurried over to get one. I was going to buy one before I headed down but I just never had the time. Kim was really, really super nice! She signed my new book then gave me a paperback one of the most current one called, The Demon Outlaw Wails. All free! I even got a quick picture with her!
After that I got in line to see Brian Thompson. He played Luke from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and was also on X-file and a bunch of other shows. Google his name or go to imdb to see. I wait for over an hour then finally get up to get his autograph. Part of the wait was waiting for him to show. I find out though that it's $20 for an autograph then you get a free picture taken with him or $10 for a picture. Even if I wasn't in it. Now, I do not have a lot of money to blow at this con. I have no money to blow at all really. So, disappointed I shook his hand and went off to the side. Once on the side though I did get a distant picture of him. Heck, for the time I waited, I think I deserve it.
Next was Jared Padalecki. He is in Supernatural and also going to be in the new Friday the 13th movie. The line for him and part of that cast was insane. Luckily, Miki was able to hold me a spot up front, since I went to the other lines and she let the people there also know I was going to be joining her. They were cool with that. For a moment though it seemed that things were going to get nasty, the organization for the lines was not all that great but the staff got it figured out. Jared didn't sign my Supernatural boxsets like I was hoping, though I could tell he felt bad about it. The producers wanted to just promote the new movie. Ugh! I told him it was okay though, it wasn't his fault, and got a signed poster of Friday the 13th. I'm happy I got something with his signature.
After that I had to find out where everyone else was so we could meet back together. The Chicken Robot panel I missed because of the autographs, but that did give me a chance to see Kevin and get his signature on a few more things. I also got one of the $7 Heavy Metal books. Awesome art! Slash joined up with Miki and I at this point and we headed down to the panels. I was tired of being on my feet, being up so early and not eating since breakfast. I wanted to sit and rest.
The Chicken Robot panel wasn't done yet, so I looked to see where some other rooms were that we might be interested in. Dead Like Me was full, so I wasn't going to even try that one. The Voice Actors and the City panel was across the end of the hall and then the Venture Brother's panel was in the same room as Robot Chicken. The room was closed off, it was insanely crowded. Once the panel was out and they let people in for the next panel (DC panel) we decided we may as well just stay. With how crowded it was, the chance of good seats if we left was slim. Next though was a Torchwood panel and that was very interesting. I think I want to start looking into that show
Finally the VB panel started. And by finally means, yay but oh I am so freaking tired! It was a fun panel. They set it up so at the end there was an hour time for autographs. Doc, Jackson and Mike were there. I showed Mike my daughter's picture, since he saw her picture when she was a year old I wanted to share how much she had grown. He was saying that she's so cute and growing so fast! After that I headed out and waited for the others to join me. It was late and we were tired. Kaz, Ivey and I headed back to the hotel and got ourselves some food and are hanging out now for a little bit. Tomorrow is another early day, full of TMNT goodness! So I will head to bed soon and try to get some sleep.

Yeah sorry about disappearing, I tried saying I'll be in the Venture Brother panel. I really didn't get the feeling that if I went to the other I would be able to make it back into VB.

Could do a post last night. Was waaaayyy too tired and out of it. I can do it today though!
Yesterday started off as another early day. Got up and got ready to head out. Kaz came over and we were ready to go... except Ivey couldn't find her money!! Kaz decided to go ahead so she can make sure we have a good spot in line for the con. Finally after searching Ivey found her money. It had gotten wrapped around something in her bag so it seemed like it wasn't there. Oy!
Now money in hand we headed out to the bus. As we were leaving I was checking the schedule and noticed it's different for Sunday. Which meant, and I was right, that Kaz was still there at the bus stop! For Ivey and I the timing was good though. The bus showed up minutes later. We get to the con and hang out until it was getting close to the time to be let in. In line I was talking to my hubby and just about to let him go when I hear a shout. Up in the window we see Leo and Raph! Quickly I hang up and start to jump and wave at the two. They came down stairs, on our side of the line to say hi to people! It was awesome!
A few minutes later we were let into the con. First we went around to say hi to some people then got settled in for the TMNT panel. It was really good, I enjoyed it! Seeing all the people who worked behind the scenes was just awesome! After the panel I got to get an autograph from Adrian Barrios (Character designer) and Keith Conroy (Lead Background Design, background design/layout and storyboards). From here we headed in and went to get a spot for the TMNT demonstration. Ivey went to get pics and and I ran to go see the guys from Mirage and Kevin real quick. Kaz stayed with our stuff.
Once there I spoke to the Mirage guys for a few moments then realized I forgot my wallet with the others. I told them I would be back cause I wanted to get some artwork they were selling of the four tmnt and Splinter. On the way back I stopped to see Kevin and while waiting, I saw him do a Shredder picture for some one. I had only one thing I wanted him to sign that day but after seeing that I wanted a Shredder pic too. He gladly drew one for me and I got the autograph that I wanted!
During this whole time it was getting closer for the TMNT thing to start. It was really crowded though so a lot had happened by the time I finally got back up there. Yeah it started with out me but it was worth seeing Kevin and the Mirage guys again. Seems it was a good thing I was late cause the tmnt left the stage then came back out. If I was there Ivey would have left before the tmnt came back out on stage. Once they actually left for real this time, we headed down to the Playmates booth, where the tmnt were posing for pictures. Kaz left when the tmnt left the first time so we got a good place in line.
We got our pics taken then headed back to Mirage. They were packing up and I wanted to get that art packet! By the time we got there they had their stuff packed up. We said our good byes and wished them all a safe trip then headed back to Playmates. Oh yes, and I got my packet!
From there most everyone split (Miki and Slash were split from us pretty much all day, Crittle stayed at the hotel to rest) while Ivey and I hung out at the Playmates booth till we had to go so they could clean up. I got a new nick while there though. I'm the Vancouver girl!
This Con was so great!! I had a great time and so many great memories from this! My suitcase is waaaayyy fuller then it was when I got here, in fact I think I will be using my backpack as a carry on if I can't get everything shoved back into my other carry on.

My My, Scott looks different
. I'm still pizza'ed that I couldn't locate him. I saw a Scott Williams listed in artist alley, and after about an hour getting dizzy and confused roaming the various aisles, I finally gave up. Only on Sunday did I find not only Kevin, but the WitchHunter group. Ugh. Sorry scott, will catch ya next time......
I'm going to be at the event in April covering things, even though we still don't know a whole hell of allot about it..

I really miss going to these events on the east coast. The last time I was at one was Youmacon and I had the time of my life. Now, with the 25th anniversary for TMNT, I'm missing out on all the fun, all the hang-outs with my friends on the other side of the country. It saddens me greatly that I can't collect enough air fare to fly over and go to these conventions. These pictures and reports are so awesome, yet they almost make me cry. I wanted to go to the NYCC so bad, you have no idea. Buslady and I met up the same weekend and talked about it, well, lamented a little too, because she really wanted to go just as much as I did. We're both going to SDCC, so at least we'll have our time with friends for the 25th anniversary there.

Hiya, wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be posting my photos soon. Gotta go through and figure out which ones to post though I'm at least able to get to that now... fell behind some what.. was hoping to do this inbetween NYC and Katsucon, but lost my internet card so was without the net for the most part during that time. So now that I'm rested and starting to feel better I will get this done soon.

In Line
This is in line with Miki, Kaz, Crittle, Slash, and Fae. I'm taking the pic so I'm not sitting there, though my TMNT coat is showing where I was sitting.
Fae hugging my Turtle puppet.
Fae and me with my Turtle puppet.
The Turtles visiting those of us in line
Donny was the first Turtle to come near us.
Mikey giving Fae a big hug.. with Canadian Turtle getting footage in the back ground there.
I went to get pictures of the Turtles saying hi to others in line.
Which was going over really well with the crowd.
They got to pose for many pictures.
I got Mike and Don to pose for a picture too.. not knowing if I'll get to see them much.
Raph was there, just being a loner like normal
They got the Turtles to walk in a line heading out of there.
A closer shot of them walking to leave this area.
I got to pose for some group shots at the end of this... though my right arm was in so much pain (it was touched a few times) that I really don't like the way these photos turned out. This ended up being a problem at this event for me... one of the hardest events on my poor arm in a long time.
Some photos from a distance of the group shots
Here I am asking for a group picture with them.
Here's a view I will show, cause ya don't see just how much pain I'm in.
Here I am saying good bye to the Turtles.
Heading back to my spot in line - not yet knowing how bad those photos turned out.
TMNT Booth
This is an image of their display at the booth.
Miki caught this picture of Casey and April at the booth... this is the April that is for the booth, the Casey is a cos player.
Here's April, Casey and Peter Laird. Again a picture taken by Miki as I was split up from her at this time.
April, Don and Mike.
Other parts of the convention
A writer for the 4Kids TMNT series.. Danny Fingeroth.. he wrote "Legend of the Five Dragons" and "New World Order" Part I
This was at the Ubisoft booth. They had "Turtles In Time" there and at the TMNT booth.
Even more TMNT goodness at the Ubisoft booth.
Back at the TMNT Booth
Here I am with April, Raph and Leo.
Leo posing with a fan. There is a LOT Of these type of pictures won't post them all... but you can also see a lot of pictures of this kind of stuff on
http://www.tmnt25.com/ April and Tom Wayland.
I was taking a picture and Mikey wanted in the shot.
Kaz and Fae getting their hugs from their favorite Turtles.
Group shot with Kaz, Fae, Mike, Don, and April.
Fae with the back of "Turtles in Time" which has a add for a new Game magazine which has the TMNT on the cover.
Another shot with me and Mike and Don. This one taken with Miki's camera by Fae.
Walking away after my picture, I think Don was a little jealous hearing Mike is my favorite Turtle.
I'm going to stop here for now, cause some of these other pictures I want to turn into animated gifs before posting. So this is part 1 of Friday's pictures.

I should probably write my review....LOL I have been sick since the con so hence why I haven't yet! My memory is going to be bad so bare with me *laughs*
Thursday: I arrived at the hotel around 3:00pm. I made my way over to Red Lobster to pick me up some yummy food then watched television. After getting me a shower, I watched Hancock. GREAT movie
Ivey and the others stopped by my room to greet me then I fell asleep. I'm old so I can't stay up late
Friday morning: I went to the convention ahead of everyone because I was up early anyways! I got us a good spot in line! Then out of amazement, the TMNT came out to greet everyone in the line! The weird is that, Don make a bee line straight over to me and hugged me! *fan girls* Of course after this happens, I instantly call my mom to tell her the good news
Because yah I'm a dork! I started to tease Fae about how Brock Samson in VB looks like Hun and I think I started something the rest of the con *laughs*
Once inside, we went to the Playmates Booth and saw all the cool new toys and DVD's that are coming out. Then I went to see Scott and Kevin. Scott was very happy to see me
I bought a BodyCount book from Kevin and he sketched Donatello in it. Of course I had to quiz him before he did! I told him to guess which turtle that I liked and of course he couldn't remember LOL. Once getting my book, I made my way over to the Mirage Guys. I said hi to all of them and started to proceed to lose my money...to them *laughs* I don't even know how much I spent overall in pictures but it was well over $400 *laughs* Jim was happy to see me and even hugged me
He even didn't mind taking down a request for me so yay!
I skipped the Mirage panel because I was tired and hungry so I went back to the hotel to grab me something to eat! I spent the evening surfing the net and watching Next Mutation!
Saturday: Fae and Ivey met up with me to leave with me to the con. I'm an early bird so we left around 7:00! We took a taxi to the convention center and got our place in line. Luckily, we still had a good spot in line. I mostly wrote down fic ideas and listened to my Ipod. Once inside the convention, I walked over to say hi to the Mirage guys and pic up some more pics! I found my friend R2 so I broke from the group to show her and her friend around. She was dressed up as Harley Quinn and her friend was Poison Ivy so they were stopped a lot to get pictures. Once they met up everyone, I got a call from my other friend Janet that she was in the center so I let them go get some pics taken while I went to find her.
The convention center was PACKED! Janet and I went down and stood in line for the Robot Chicken panel! We were lucky enough to get seats but it was just insane! Seth Green was hilarious as always and now since I never really watched the show, I want to! I said goodbye to her while I stayed in the room to see Venture Brothers panel. I had to sit through another panel before that one. There was such a huge crowd outside that I didn't want to risk losing a seat!
The Venture Brothers panel lacked Brock luster so it was alright but not as good as last years! Course I kept teasing Fae about Brock/Hun LOL. I was able to sport off my awesome Brock shirt that I bought Friday!
After the panel, I went back to the hotel. I was getting sickly so I was not feeling well. I picked up something from BK and called it a night LOL. I think Ivey and Fae joined me for a bit too in the hotel room. Fae and I had interesting conversations while sipping on red wine LOL
Sunday: I got up early once again and waited for the bus. I thought the bus came at 6:30 but it came at 7:00 so I stood outside for nothing
I was feeling really bad by this day. Once in line, Janet joined us and we had interesting talks about some great fic ideas that we were coming up with! She wanted to see the showing for Dollhouse but she wanted to see if she won the raffle for an autograph so I hung around the con once it opened to see if she had a winning ticket. Fae and I got there at 11:00 just in time for the drawing! Sadly we won but the person she wanted, they were sold out of so we couldn't get it. Which was total BS!
I walked around then made my way down to the room for the 4kids panel. My friend R2 and her friend showed up so we sat together in the front!
Ok...*points to her sig* I DID ask the artist in 4kids about this. Of course he couldn't remember what the Ultimate Ninja looked like LOL After the panel, Ivey gave me the cover to the UN DVD so I walked over and showed him. He looks like and said "Oh my god, you're right!" Then he laughed and started to sketch a pic of Khan in this girl's autograph book. Man I wanted that but it was in her book *laughs*
I walked back around then headed over to the TMNT demo. I was feeling REALLY bad at this point so I just wanted to sit down and rest my body and throat. Ivey and Fae soon came over. The turtles were having photos with kids but I didn't want to fight kids so I just saved their spot for the demo. It was so cute to see all these kids for the TMNT show. They were carrying toys
. Janet, R2, and her friend joined us as well!
The TMNT Demo was a bit disappointing. They came out, introduced each other and that's about it. Don sort of danced....and Leo was just a big flirt. He kept flirting with April LOL.
I made my way to the Playmates booth to get my photos taken with the guys one last time. Janet joined me in line. We had some interesting turtle hentai talks so I think we scared this kid and his father behind us LOL. After our pics, we walked over to say bye to the Mirage Guys. I bought me a shirt for them to all sign and of course Peter made me pose with it and he put it on his blog!
I walked with Janet out and we said our goodbyes. I went back to the hotel to get doped up on medicine and call it a night.
Monday morning, I left pretty early once saying bye to everyone
BTW, my friend janet wins for sending me this awesome video she took at the Playmates booth that I missed. A guy came over playing Ninja Rap while Mikey and Don were there. Don started to dance to it LOL. She recorded it and sent it to me over the phone Friday night so I spent the whole weekend showing everyone and being easily entertained!
that's about it! I'm sorry if I forgot anything!

Here are some pics!
I love that Dark Turtle Pic. Who did that one? From one of my favorite episodes to boot.
Heh, I wonder if all women where in those costumes, considering it's probably easier finding shorter women?
Nice to see someone took more than the standard promo pic and let the poor people in the costume have
some fun with wearing the suit. I bet 'april' was glad for the break to boot...doing something other than smiling
all day

Sorry to say this NWOG, though we don't know if the TMNT will be back. They're only there when TMNT events is going on like in 2007 and this year. So there's no clue when they'll return to the con.
