Katsucon 2006 Review!

[IveyAngelo]

Hey everyone, and welcome to day one review of Katscucon, review the day of the con.    

I got into Washington D.C. last night and have been hanging out with Misty.   We had pizza and went over music videos, video games and talked a lot about Turtles.  It was a good night, I got a room to sleep in, in the basement there's a space heater and a TV (with cable) so the room was confy and even had something for me to listen to while sleeping.  

This morning I woke up at 6am, I stayed down stairs sorting things out for what is getting autographed and what is staying here for the day.  After doing the sorting and watching "Teen Titans" I came up stairs and cleaned up in the bathroom, at this time Misty and her mom started to stir.  We had breakfast, her mom made us eggs and toast.  After eatting I finished getting ready, and Misty dressed up as Cassidy from Pokemon.   Her mom than gave us a ride to the convention.

Once we got there, we found the register line and stood there for awhile without the line moving at all.  We started talking with the girl in front of us, about anime, TMNT and video games.   While talking to her the line finally started to move and we got to go pay our way into the convention.  Right away I sat down and started to plan out our day, man was I surprise to find out that nothing was going on till noon when the con was suppose to open at 8am.  Wow did I not except to have so much down time.   We walked around for a bit, sat down in areas to talk.  I met some people who even saw "Totally Obessed"   I met other people who know me from different coventions.  

We walked around artist alley and I saw a lot of cool art work already starting to set up.  Some people had some "Fullmetal Alchemist" art work and "Fruits Basket" art... those are two of my favorite animes right now.   One booth had a "ThunderCat" item, I mentioned they should do TMNT.  So I got to talk to a lot of people about TMNT, one guy stood next to Misty and I as we sat down in Artist alley to take a break.  So we had a lot of fun, just chit chatty about TMNT and anime.

After that we got up and was going to head to watched this panel that was about a guy who had a lot of pockey and if someone could beat him in anime trivia they could get his pockey.  On the way we got distracted by talking to some girls that were heading to the dealer room, we informed them that it's closed.  Than I pulled out my FMA wall scrolls and we sat for about an hour talking in the hall way with them.  After they got in line to go into the dealer room at 11:30am, we headed over to the panel and it started up before we got there.  Though we sat and watched.   It was funny, though the people did not win that went against the guy they did get some pockey.

For the rest of the pockey they did question and answer with the crowd about anime.... most of them I didn't know.  As one guy was leaving he just decided to give me the pockey he won.  So I got some pockey, but I still wanted to see if there was anymore I could get.  While sitting there, a Power Ranger question came up, though I don't know the answer Misty did.  And she was the only one who knew it.  She said it wrong, though it still did count because she knew what she was talking about, just didn't know how to say it.   So Misty won some FREE POCKEY!  I was so happy for her!  She ended up giving it to me, since she doesn't really like Pockey.

After that I decided we could go check out the dealer room, to stretch our legs before going to the "Welcome panel" that started at 3pm.  So we headed over to the dealer room.  I talked with a lot of people there, and Misty found a lot of Pokemon stuff she liked, though she did buy a few things including a new Pokemon doll of a Pokemon that hasn't been introduced yet in the US but is in the newest movie in Japan.  After that we walked around some more, and I found a few people that had TMNT, which made me proud of them.  

I stopped at one booth and noticed the TMNT 1 Movie Poster Book for $20, I pointed it out to Misty and she got it.  Though sitting next to it was "Fugitoid" Comic!!!!!!  I bought two of them.  I'm so happy!!!!  That was a real treat to bump into at the convention.  The guy at first had a problem with his card machine and Misty almost loaned me the money to get them, though the machine worked so she didn't have too.  I'm glad, I don't like borrowing if I don't have too and I know the money is in my bank account.   So it cleared just fine, than we talked to the guy for awhile.  After talking, we headed over and got in line for the "Welcome Panel".

We bumped into our two new friends so they sat with us, we were first in line.  While sitting there talking to them, we went through the stuff we got at the dealer room.  Misty got a cool Gadget book from the same booth that I got the "Fugitoid" books.  We sat there for about 40 minutes than they let us in to sit down.  While sitting there I set up my camera, than I noticed the VAs start to show up.  Michael was over with them, so I got up and went over saying hi.  I showed up these new "feet/hand" warmer things I got for my arm to help try and prevent the cold from hurting it.  And we said our hellos, I also learned that he'll be at "New York City Comic Con".  I said hi to Mike McFarland as he came in as well.  It was good seeing him.

I got the print up I did of Greg Ayres (you can find in Freebies), and gave one to Greg.  He liked it said it's one of the best pictures that shows his spots, and he also pointed out how he liked the characters in the picture.  So that went over very well, he asked if I said hi to the Mikes and told him yes.  Than I went and sat down for the panel.  They had us busting up laughing they were acting so funny, I think Misty is going to remember this for a long time to come.

Mike was having a blast picking on everyone.  We also got to know Tom.  This guy caught my attention when I reading the web site of people coming and saw this guy did voices for G.I. Joe for 4Kids and most everyone if they do one show they work on most of the shows there.  So I brought something just in case, and man was I right too.  Tom is going to be playing the main Villain for the "Fast Forward" seasons of the TMNT (And yes we got his character's name, it's a spoiler so I won't post it in here.).   To show how much they were goofing off when Tom came on stage, Mike S. was holding onto his leg, as Tom dragged Mike across the stage.  Than when another guy was on stage, someone came up and stold his hat, durning the time the guy was up there still Mike came running up on stage and flung the hat around joking with it.  It was really funny!!!!!!  They were having a LOT of fun.    

When the panel started to close up, I wanted to get to Mike McFarland's panel.  So I headed out a little early, when we stepped out Misty and I got to bump into Michael S. and Tom!  so that worked out well, we talked in the hall way and they even signed a few things.  Than we split up and went our own ways.  

I LOVE going to Mike's panel cause he really does a good treat... he showed us this week and next weeks FMA shows!!!!  I was so happy since I'm here this weekend and going to be at Pichu's next weekend I feared missing it.  So I enjoyed watching that, this was Misty's first time seeing FMA and the first of the two eps brought her into tears, though right away into the next episoide they had something funny that got her laughing.   I glad to see her cheer up so fast, cause she really did feel bad.  This show is a lot more serious than she's use too.

After that panel I stepped out into the hall way and had pulled out the dart gun from "Anime Vegas" that I'm getting signed up.  Well while waiting for Mike to come into the hall to sign things a guard came up to me and told me how "Toy Guns" are against the law in Washington D.C.  it really surprised me since this doesn't look anything like a real gun.  Though he told me just keep it in my bag besides for when it's being signed.  Learn something new everyday eh?  Mike signed it and I put away, originally I was going to bring it again for Greg Ayres to sign, but I think I'll wait till NYC con for that since Greg will be there too.  

After that we walked back to the lobby.  I was very tired and sore, more so than I really think I should be... but my body just isn't handling things how I'd like, the pain went into my back.  So as we sat there, I was trying to see if there was anything else to do before leaving but everything else was late at night and I figured Misty's mom wouldn't want to pick us up that late.  So we just sat there, till her mom called and said she'd be there at 6pm to pick us up.  Than I entered a contest to win a DVD, as I was filling out the forum for that, Misty's mom got there and we said our good byes to one of our new friends (the other one wasn't there) and headed out.

Once we got here, Misty's mom made us some pasta.  I think we're going to watch some TMNT DVDs tonight, and I will like to take a hot bath to ease my muscels.  I have taken a Vicodin ES for the pain, so it's let up a little though I'm still hurting.

Really over all it was a good day, we had a lot of happy moments and making a lot of fun memories.    I can't thank Misty and her family enough for taking me in while I'm in town.  It really did help.  I'm trying to help out when I can, and leaving out some goodies for everyone to share.  It's been a good visit.


THANKS MISTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IveyAngelo]

I woke up early this morning, and was laying there listening to the TV.  Really I woke up a lot durning the night, my arm hates me... I swear it.  Though when I woke up for the last time, I was just thinking of how my alarm has not gone off, Cartoon Network is playing in the back ground and I'm thinking about going back to sleep till I heard "Next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".  This got me to roll over and watch Cartoon Network, waking up and getting out of bed.  So that was around 6am.  After watching Turtles I came up stairs and took a nice hot Shower.

No one else was awake when I was done, so I went down stairs and watched some more of the Cartoon Network.  While going through my bags.  I came up stairs when I heard others awake, and woke up Misty letting her know it was 8am and we wanted to get to the con around 9am.   After she got ready we walked to the subway station, and she showed me around her area.  Pointing out where places use to be, and what is there now.   Once we got to the subway station I was impressed with how deep they are, it's a lot steeper than any subway I've ever been in before.   So we took the train to our stop.

Once we got there, the hotel was about around a the coner from us, and we walked in.  Right away we had to find the Mike S. panel.  It was a search to try and find, though once we found it Blue was sitting there waiting for the panel as well.  I enjoyed getting some time to talk with her.  While talking and catching up with her, Crittle showed up.  So I introduced everyone to Misty and her back to everyone else.   We talked a bit more, till Mike got there than we all piled into the room.

Mike was trying to get it so we could watch TMNT durning the panel, but cable didn't reach that part of the building so it wasn't working out to well.  So while Mike was answering questions, people were working on the TV off to the side.   I asked Mike what he thought about "Fast Forward" without giving us any spoilers.   He told us that of they at first made jokes about getting skies to jump the shark (tv joke, which I know Fugitoid also brought up on here).  Though really he's happy with the direction it's going in.  He said it really is working out, and that there's so much he wishes he could say which can not be brought up.  

Durning the panel I was video taping like always though I forgot my tripod today and was paying for it.  Since cameras are only made for the right hand... I was feeling it durning this first panel it was going to be a rough day and I knew it.   I asked Mike about the short season but he doesn't know what's going on with it, said that might be what's being released with the 100th ep thing going on.  We'll just have to wait and see about that.  

Mike also talked about his new show he's doing for Nick, that should be coming out next month.  (Man I feel bad I'm trying to find the paper he gave me on it, but I put it in a safe spot, gotta search for it).  I'll give more information on this soon.  It's something I'm sure all the fans of Mike will like to check out since he plays the main character named "Mikey" I'm sure Kaz or Blue could help fill in any information I haven't got here.  I do remember it's a mock of an anime where they bring in an American as the hero, and the American is drawen different with thick lines around him.  Mike plays the American, so keep an eye out for this show.  I know the name Mike is in the title... I'll really update as soon as I find the information on it.

He also talked about Venture brothers, the new season should be starting in June and hopefully that's when season one will appear on DVD.  So any Venture Brother fans keep an eye out for that.  He won't give any spoilers away on it, so we got no juicey information on it.  Though I'm sure we'll be happy, he seems thrilled with the project.

We got to watch the last ten minutes of "Outbreak" at the panel, it was funny because someone had to stand outside for the TV to even get a picture or sound.   Mike stood up front with a Mic to the TV so we could all hear it.  It was funny to watch, I did get this on Video for those who were there.    After this panel Misty and I went to the Kirby Morrow Panel.

Kirby's panel was great, he stood up the full time and fully answered every question, even read a line from one of My NT:TNM scripts.  So that was a lot of fun to hear and see.  The panel of course was mainly around his work on Inuyasha, but don't think I didn't sneak in TMNT questions, like asking them if when they did the voices for the TMNT if they did the voices on their own or in a group, the answer is they did their voice overs in a group for NT:TNM.  This panel was a nice one, I did video tape it as well.  Though my arm was really having problems, I kept moving to the ground to use my chair as an arm rest.  I also kept trying to use my left hand to video tape, but that is so hard with not having control over zoom.  There's just some things that are not made to be done left handed

When Kirby was done, it was Richard Cox's panel.  I at first tried to tape this, but it was really boreing and I knew I wasn't going to watch it again and I was hurting... so I turned it off.  I'm sorry Richard if you ever read this, though you work better in front of a crowd with a group.  You answer your questions very plan, and most of your jokes were dry it was a lot more funny when you'd yell at us for not laughing at you.   So I'm sorry if you ever read this, I like seeing you though I don't think I'll go to a solo panel with you again.  Sorry.   Any how back to my fellow TMNT fans... durning this panel I basically took a break, and Misty even got to eat her lunch that her mom gave her before we left.

After the panel we went and got in the autograph line for Mike Mcfarland, Mike S. and Tom Wayland.   Misty and I were first in line, so we got up there and said hi to the guys.   It was nice getting a chance to speak to them, but we weren't up there to long.  I followed the rule for once and did two autographs per an actor.   Blue and Kaz weren't too far behind us in that line, so we went out the lobby with them after the autographs and sat around talking.  I shared some of the stuff I had with them and they shared some pockey with me.    It was a nice hang out.  I enjoyed taking the break, and going over TMNT topics with them.  Talked about hanging out with them durning New York City Comic Con.

They went up stairs to get stuff for Kirby to autograph as Misty and I went and got in line.  Though we found we got into the line a hour and a half early, the autograph session for them didn't start till 4:30pm.   Kaz went home, and Blue went and did a few other things before doing the Mike S. panel.   The three doing autographs this time was Greg Ayres, Richard Cox, and Kirby Morrow.  So I got a few things signed, and Richard re learned about my arm while I was in line, I had to remind him about Toronto Con when he signed one of my items left handed.   I had Kirby sign the most, but that's because I don't when when I'll see him again.

After that line we went to the Director panel, but this time I was ready to pass out.  We  were a little late because of the autograph line being so slow, though I don't think we missed too much.  I taped this one, and even got a front role seat... though really I was ready to cry the pain was so intense durning this panel.  I leaned against a wall with the camera in my left hand and my right hand only supporting it from falling from my other hand.  I can't count how many times I closed my eyes, I didn't except things to be this rough this weekend.  I hate my arm.   Though I lasted the full panel, my arm did hurt.... and my camera threatened to kill the battery.  I was able to finish the panel... than it was time to start saying good bye.

I decided I am going to the con for a little bit tomorrow, to say real good byes and do a little shopping before leaving.  I said good bye to Mike and the other guest, cause I don't know if I'll be around long enough to see them tomorrow.   I can't wait to see Mike and Greg next week at Comic Con!

After saying good byes, Misty's mom came and picked us up and took us out to eat.  I got Ribs, they were really good!   THANKS MISTY'S MOM!    Than we came back here and I got to do my report.   Don't know when you'll get Sunday's report, we'll see.

Take care everyone!

[Brinatello]

Hey, Ivey!  It sounds like you guys had a real good time the past couple of days.  I'm not too surprised about the cop telling you guns aren't permitted since it was Washington D.C.  The panels sounded like real fun and I'm glad you got some good information on TMNT.  If I make it to AnimeNEXT! in June (and that's a big IF), I'll hopefully find out about the "Fast Forward" episodes.  I wish I could be there with you guys; I've been to Washington D.C. once and it was a lot of fun.  It'd be even more fun attending a convention with the usual suspects!    Anyway, thanks for the report, Ivey.  Say, hi to everyone and take care!  

[Aignatius]

It wasn't Fugitoid that brought up the "jump the shark" comment, it was Leo, because I'd asked what the term meant.

[CriticalCrittles]

Hey Ivey! I called you earlier today and I think I woke you up, I'm sorry. ;-; I know you're exausted, so I'll try to call you sometime this weekend.

Actually I was hoping that maybe sometime this weekend you can tell me when Mike S. will have one of his panels, so you can call me after it's over and I can tell Mike directly my good news, cuz I'd LOVE to be able  to do that. If not, that's ok, I understand.

The good news is, the Venture dvds are coming out May 30th, and according to a commercial I saw on adult swim, Venture Bros season 2 will start playing on Sunday, June 25th....which is only a day after my 21st birthday! I'm SO excited! Now I haven't seen that news written anywhere officially yet, but I know I saw it with my own eyes on a commercial....though adult swim can be misleading sometimes so....I wouldn't be 100% sure on that but still, it's better then nothing. So like I said, I would love to be able to tell Mike that myself but if I can't please tell him for me....say "Crittle says" too hehe. Oh and tell him also that season one is replaying again every Saturday at 11pm....I knew this LAST week and totally forgot to tell him at his panel on Saturday lol.

One more thing I swear...I really would like to know if there is some kind of special email or mailing addres he would like fans to use to send him stuff. He has an email posted on his NYAV Post website (michael@nyavpost.com) but I didn't want to use that because I know it really should be for business purposes only. If it's ok with him though, I'll drop him a line there....and should I use the address provided on that site to send him things or not? I send presents to Doc and Jackson (creators of Venture Bros) to their Astro Base company address cuz they told me it was ok to send them fan stuff to that address...is it ok with Mike to send fan stuff to his NYAV stuido or no?

I'm sorry if that's alot to ask, it's just that you're gonna see him again next weekend and I won't see him again until Anime Next in June lol. If you don't remember to ask him that's ok though. If worse comes to worse, I'll just drop a small line to the email on NYAV asking him all this.

Anyway it was great to see you again mah dear, and can't wait for Anime NExt! I'm definately going by the way, I'm buying my ticket and reserving my room this weekend....I'm still not sure about Avenue Q yet though, I'll have to get back to you on  that one!

Hey, I've got a new victory call!!!!!

GO TEAM TURTLE!!! XD I amuse myself too much lol

OH BY THE WAY!! The show Mike was talking about is called KAPPA MIKEY! I can't wait to see it!

[WolfofMibu]

This is copy and pasted from my LiveJournal:

Thursday:

Met up with Katie and Becky and OMG I love them both so much!!! We had a super fun car ride to Katsu, joined half way by Rob. I got to listen to Katie's super impressive, beautiful music that she composes. When we got there we decided to dress up in some costumes because we were super excited. So we were just hanging out goofing around when who should walk by but Mike. After a huge hug the two of us have a long conversation about work, Turtles and life. Getting caught up on everything sense Vegas. I got him his gift, I burned him all the Turtles DVDs that have been released so far and he was freaking out. He made me go through like DVD by DVD telling him which episodes to watch first *laughs* I also finally got a chance to express to him a few issues that have been bothering me about the show... and was completely pleased when not only did he agree with me, but they were things he too had brought up during recording sessions. So I guess I don't take the show too seriously.

Friday:

Up early to dress up as Yachiru. I never though I would enjoy cosplaying another character as much as Naruto but I LOVE her. She was WAY too much fun to cosplay and I kept getting all of us lost which was completely in character, but completely by chance. I got to finally truly hang out with my Kate-sensei!!! *luffs her so much* I spent FAR too much in the dealers room, on just about everything with Renji on it as I want to molest him hardcore as he is so beautiful. Then Steph and JJ came to hang out with us that night. Both were equally awesome and fun.

Saturday:

Got up stupidly early to go to Mike's panel. I had whined to him about it being at the same time as Turtles on Thursday night so he had decided he was going to talk to the con staff about it and when I got there I had to laugh as they were trying to set it up so we could watch the show during the panel. Mike is hte silly. I ran into Ivey and Crittle, who I had looked for on Friday yet never had run into .
We talked about Turtley stuff and went into Mike's panel which was fun. Got to see the last like ten minutes of Turtles, I can't WAIT to get to Kaz's on Wednesday so I can see the rest. *whines and goes through Leo with-drawl* After the panel I went up and got into my Naruto costume and died from the cuteness that was Kate-sensei dressed up as Iruka. We went to the Naruto photo-shoot which was of coarse tons of fun and then I ran off to see my friend Kazari. We went to get in line for Mike's autograph signing and Kaz and I teased each other about Don and Leo.... (But honestly what else do we ever do *laughs*) Hung out with Kaz, her friends and Ivey and her friend after the autographs. Got to see TONS of cool Turtle stuff that Ivey has and have fun talking about the show. Kazzy went home shortly after and I went and rested for a bit and got a snack. Showed Becky and Katie one of my more interesting Turtles fan-fictions.... *giggles* Then dashed down to Mike's directing panel. Rest of the night consisted of the masquerade and the dance and just hanging out with everyone I love.

Sunday:

Up very early once again. Went to a photoshoot with Kate-sensei, hung around the con, bought more stuff in the dealers room.... ran into Mike like six times and kept saying goodbye everytime *laughs* Then the ride home was THE WIN for the weekend, shoving six people and ALL OUR STUFF into a car meant for maybe five people with no stuff and getting lost in DC for like 4 hours should have been horrible, but honestly it was so completely funny.

[Kazari]

Well I can't really talk that much about Katsucon.   I was only there for about 4 hours. That morning I went with my friend Daylyn and her sister Kate. It kind of sucked that morning because I was really moody about missing turtles since I am so eager for episode #100 and I like to see how it leads up to it.  When we stopped in Staunton, I noticed my headlight was out in my car, which bummed me because I spent over a fortune the week before getting a tuneup, belt and alternator replaced. We stopped in Fairfax, VA and took the metro over to DC. It wasn't that bad. I prefer to be in the subway. We scared the people on the subway because we put our Naruto headbands on and some other anime fans were at the other end of the train and they saw us and went, "YAY!!" really loud so we replied back.

We got to the hotel around 11:30 and stood in line for about 40 minutes to sign in. MAN that hotel is so confusing! What's with DC's logic? I text Blue to let her know I was there and where we were. We first hit the dealer's room. I was squealing because I finally found my huge Jakken plushie that I wanted so bad after Anime Vegas. I also bought 4 t-shirts: one kakashi, one wolf's rain, one that says "I'm Ninja you can't see me," and one that has Lil Slugger on it.  I also bought the Wolf's Rain DVD Box set which was pretty awesome. I ran into Blue at the Dealer's room so I went over to say hi. I was even more mad because I did learn that Mike played the last part of the episode that morning during his panel. I kind of knew about it on Friday because she text me to tell me that Mike was going to do it and I begged Daylyn to get up early, but she wouldn't do it Grrr!! Oh well at least I watched it when I got home! I then went to Mike's autograph session. I got lost trying to find it and asked 4 different con people.  I ran into Blue and we followed her to it. Seeing Mike was pretty awesome. My friend Blue gave me back the talking Leo plushie that I sent her because I didn't know if I was going or not and I gave it to Mike. I gave it to him because he had been trying to steal hers. He was so shocked that I told him he could have it. My friend's sister wanted a picture with them so I got in the picture with her. Mike looked at the plushie again and went" Thank you" and squeezed my hand. He's such a nerd! LOL

After the autograph we went upstairs to sit down. I sat with Blue, my friends, Ivey and her friend, Misty. It was pretty funny because on the way there Kate wanted a picture of one person. Well as soon as you start to take pictures of someone, everyone else starts. I noticed that someone was behind me so I moved aside and mouthed sorry for being in their way. I ALWAYS say I am sorry...ask Blue :p Anyways, I do a double take and I go, "Neo??" Some guy dressed up as Neo from Matrix. So me, hence being a total nerd, squealed and took his picture.

I was going to go to the Kirby Morrow autograph session, but after standing in line for like 30 minutes to only realize that it was going to be another hour and a half. I decided not to because the session didn't start to 4:30 and I really wanted to get home. Katsucon was okay, they didnt really have a lot that I wanted to do like AN so  I was pretty much bored and I was dieing to see turtles.

25 days to Monster Don!!! *squeals* end post!

[Michaelangelo]

This is Misty while we were waiting for the opening panel for Katsucon.  The two girls behind her are some friends we made at the convention that day.

This is before I left, a picture of Misty and I together.  Her mom took the picture.

Those are my Katsucon pictures, sorry not many but I was doing more video taping there.

[Brinatello]

Great pics, Ivey!  Misty looks adorable from what I could see of her Cassidy costume.  Oh, I think Kaz's friend in the one photo is Daylyn, or that's the name I read in her review.  Not sure!  Wow, I remember Tom Wayland and Richard Cox from AnimeNext '04, nice to see them again.  And ohhh, baby... Kirrrrrby...dyam that boy is hawt!    Thanks for the pics, Ivey.  I can't wait to see...uh...more!  

Oh, and Blue, I read over your Friday section and found my error!  Oops!    Also, I couldn't help but laugh at your car ride on Sunday.  I had visions from Motor Con 2000 when almost everyone wanted Taco Bell and we all piled into one vehicle.  It felt like riding a bus in Tokyo during rush hour!

[Kazari]

great pics Ivey!! Actually Brina, that is Kate, my friend Daylyn's little sister

[CriticalCrittles]

Yay pics! lol I have to point some stuff out, k? The second pic Mike S is in, he has a very "huh?" look on his face lol, and Rich Cox in that pic you have of him there, he looks alot happier there then he seemed to be doing his panel I must say lol, I was rather disappointed in him unfortunately, especially after convincing my friend to come with me to see him because he was super cool and funny last year...this year he didn't even seem like he wanted to be there. Oh well, I guess everyone has their moments. :T But yes Brin's right, Kirby is teh hawts! XD He was super funny too and I'm glad I went to meet him even though I wasn't going to at first....I have to say my first time meeting him was an awesome experience!

Thanks for sharing the pics my dear, it kinda makes up for the fact that I couldn't take any....stupid camera *mumblemumble*

Oh PS~ I want Tom Wayland's hair >.> *droooools* lol
