Sydney Supanova 2013

 

Yesterday wrapped up the festivities of Sydney's Supanova. Not a bad way to use our 400th post! For me this time was my best one! By now my readers are thinking...doesn't he say that every year? What made this year extra special for me was that I got to finally see one of my life long idols in person Carrie Fisher! Ohhh the queues to get autographs. You sure do meet some friendly and like minded people.

I would had like to keep in contact with some of the people that I talked to on the day but I guess once they get the autograph they disappear! The most interesting convo I had was with two guys in the Carrie Fisher queue. We were hard core collectors sharing the same pains and joys the best I heard for the day was

"The two evils for a collector are dust and space!"

Amen to that no one wants dust on their trophies and having space means more money will be spent on goodies and no space means no room for goodies! I ended up getting Bradley James autograph for Miku and being a Dredd fan I also got Karl Urban's "scribble" to add to my collection.

Talking about stands the best store in my opinion was Pop Cultcha!

 

 Well queues, stores and autographs aside the cosplay was plentiful this year but I was expecting more slave Leia cosplayers to turn up this year since the original was there herself but oh well can't complain with quality like this!
