Fan Expo 2009

[As transcribed by Daddy on August 30th]

This morning the problems with running the new OS on the Mac persisted, so none of us got to use the computer - Daddy spent a good chunk of the first half of the day getting tech support. No prob.

After a quick trip to the butcher with Mommy, Daddy and I headed downtown for another special Daddy/daughter day... we went to Fan Expo Canada 2009, the biggest Annual comic book and sci fan / fandom / whatever convention in Canada (and the third largest in North America). We were there care of Daddy's friend Jim from Seattle, who got us a free day pass - which, of course, we couldn't find. However, having a cute four-year-old in a Batman T-shirt will get you in anywhere for free, as Daddy discovered. Thank goodness we got to bypass the line, which stretched for hours.

It was a ZOO in there. It was wall-to-wall people (dressed in all manner of costumes... I was too intimidated to get photographed with any of them, save for some Droids (see photo) and a lady in a Princess Leia costume), most of whom seemed to be Stormtroopers. Somehow, in all the madness, our OTHER friend Jim ("From Kristin & Jim", as I like to say) found us and hung out with us before I got too overcrowded and we had to leave. I did manage to snag a new PS3 game from a nice lady on the way out...

When we got home, Mommy had purchased a 100 dollar HDMI cable (Happy Birthday, Daddy) and set up the Playstation 3. Daddy, on the other hand, could not get the computer fixed to save his life.
