My main quest yesterday was to procure a signed picture of Elijah Wood for a friend's birthday present. He was kind enough to write 'Happy Birthday' on the photo for me. Very sweet.
I got a ton of Christmas shopping done. My nephews want Pokemon cards, and there were multiple stands selling them. It was crazy seeing cards I have in my collection going for thirty, forty, sixty bucks a pop. I even found a vintage LoZ comic for my youngest brother that collects gaming merch and loves the series. I picked up some graphic novels for me, plus a self-published volume of Gothic tales and poetry that the author signed for me.
The costumes were amazing. I saw one couple as Waldo from 'Where's Waldo?' and Carmen Sandiego. A very, very good Cloud Strife. A father and son Ghost Rider pair. Some 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' costumes. (I am kind of sorry I didn't bring season 2 of the show to be autographed by Mick Foley who voices 'The Boulder'.)
Holy cow, did it get crowded. I got there at opening because I wasn't sure when I'd be able to get the autograph, and the line even an hour later was nuts. It was difficult making my way through the crowds to look at the shops. The line for the food stands was ridiculously long, but luckily I'd brought my own.
Good times!
