What a blast! Thanks to Denny for the fantastic gifts (and Sideshow for the Trooper).
I've never made a plate full of fresh fruit and pizza before.

 

[Dr. Odd]

Haha looks like you guys almost had too much fun Friday night!

 

[Artoo]

Yea, looks like there was as much fun Friday night too. All I heard about was how great is was to hang out with Denny!

Whew..! Where to even begin? Sorry for the delay with the pics and vids, guys, but right after leaving the show on Sunday I had to go in to work for my 12+ hour night shift job for 3 days straight. I'm finally off today and want to crash, but before I do that, I'll post some of my vids taken during the crazy 1/6 collecting madness that was Famcon!

I had a wonderful time meeting everyone and while the center of the event was supposed to be the 1/6 figures, they almost seemed secondary to the real fun that I had which was getting to know everyone in the hobby who I only previously knew by their forum names, etc.

So many great talents like Scott Peterson, One's Customs, and Silent Surfer to name a few..!
The females of the group were also wonderful and a more than welcome addition to the event! Fumi aka Igor is lovely and cool! Se A is another beauty with great tailoring talents! And of course the other wives and girlfriends that made it all the more fun..! If there were only more of you involved in this hobby it would be awesome!

I'll try to post some pics soon. Many of you will have already seen them on my Facebook album. Here are some of the vids I managed to take during Famcon. It was harder than it would seem to do with all the socializing going on. I hope those that attended will enjoy reliving some of the fun and others that missed it all, will make it a point to go to next year's Famcon!

Mag, I really tried my best! I hope I didn't come off as some kind of recording media freak, but as much as I tried and was holding both of my cameras, I was surprised at how much I actually missed or didn't record! From the get go it was all meet and greet and just catching up with old friends both old and new and getting to know everyone who I only previously knew as friendly "screen name" on the Freaks or on YouTube. I even got "fans" who recognized me from "other" media exposure in the past!
Here are some of my favorite pics from the long weekend! I posted some group pics a couple pages back from the Saturday evening dinner. Magnus and I missed the Friday gathering to do something different and caught a comedy club featuring old friends of mine, Edwin San Juan and Aiko Tanaka. Edwin is a fan and also showed the love by stopping by Saturday! Aiko used to model and is now trying her hand at comedy. She had a very tiny role in Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift which I thought I should mention since the new movie is out now!

Denny & Se A were kind enough to autograph all my iminime pieces that I have for now. I'll always be a geeky fan no matter what! ;p

[Commtech]

If you don't want it, I might want that Angelica someday!

It's crazy how lucky you are with these figure raffles!

 

[Commtech]

It's crazy how lucky you are with these figure raffles!

Believe me, I'm just as astonished as everyone is.


Bring on next year's raffle!

 

[bigbrocha]

I'm throwing your second half of the ticket away next year, no way you will win!

You tried that this year, but he got you with the whole "gee, I left my raffle ticket at home" smokescreen.

Ok! I was at first reluctant to post this but it was a great memory from the end of the evening and I think it would be loved by our community. How could I keep it from everyone! Loved Famcon!

Here's me kicking my rap about the Forum and Love for 1/6 customs.

"Custom Figures"

Hope you guys dig it. It was fun as hell to perform for everyone!
