Comic book expo kicked off today with the parade. It was cold, but the rain didn't come so thank goodness. We had a nice sized Doctor Who cosplay group this year. Nice spread of Doctors, too. Two, Four(s), Five, Seven, Nine, Ten(s), and Eleven(s) with a few Companions thrown in. And the Doctor's mother! She's actually the mom of one of the Ten cosplayers. So she was there with all of her "children".
It's funny. Every time we got together to do a group photo, people would just some swooping in with their cameras. It was nice and a little flattering.
We ended up behind Garrett Wang (of Star Trek: Voyager fame) in the parade and he's super nice. Every time we stopped he let us take selfies with him. It's a shame we didn't end up behind the Mayor. He was dressed up like Eleven. Yes, our mayor cosplays. Take that, Edmonton! ;-)
I also got my Doctor Who 50th anniversary calendar signed by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. I was dressed as Two and wearing a fez, but Matt didn't seem to take notice. Oh well. He and Karen were probably tired from the flight and also overwhelmed by the number of fans. Oh man, it's going to be crazy tomorrow. But Matt and Karen had a cute moment. When Karen showed up she ran over to Matt's booth and gave him a hug. Then Matt started messing with Karen's hair. I guess they're not tired of seeing each other. :-)
Oh, and Matt held my fez. A friend had borrowed my fez, in the hopes that Matt would wear it for his photo op, but Matt only ended up holding it by the top. Oh well, at least I can claim that Matt Smith touched my fez. Hmm, that sounds dirty...
I'm so tired right now, though. I didn't eat or drink enough water, I think, so I'm a little dehydrated. Got to be ready for tomorrow. I'm wearing my "The Girl Who Waited" armour so it's going to be another long day.
Geronimo!
