Supanova Sydney 08

Wooo…my brain has finally decided to wake up. So… Supanova Sydney 2008.
I spent the last weekend running the table for JAUWS with Khard and Flarey. This was my first time attending the Supanova convention but I have to say, aside from a few layout mixups that I had, the weekend was awesome. I didn’t have much time to sit in on any panels or things like that since I was busy with the table, but I did get a few good chances to wander around and check out all the stalls.
Loot I bought this year was quite good, I didn’t spend more than $100 on merch, so I was well behaved. The loot list:
- A Blue Mini Munny
- Sympathy For Mr Vengeance dvd
- Lady Vengeance dvd
- Autographed picture of Jewel Staite
The rest of this post will have quite a few pics so, for more:
I thought the cosplay was quite awesome, as usually I’ve only been to anime cons so I only really see anime character cosplays. Supanova was great for me because there were plenty more generic geeky cosplays, from video games/cartoons/tv shows.
Khard and Flarey, who were running the stall with me:

This was quite possibly the best part of the entire convention for me, I got to meet Jewel Staite, get an autograph and I asked her if I could get a picture of her holding my Weighted Companion Cube plushie. I also gave her one of our clubs ‘Ja-tan’ badges. I’m hoping that she’ll remember this so if she’s ever asked what her weirdest convention experience was she can say “Well, there was this time in Australia and this guy asked me for a photo of me and this toy with hearts on it…” and I’ll be able to say IT WAS ME~ :

My second favourite pic of the weekend, Lord Cthulhu holding up one of our clubs stickers. This was just too awesome:

GENTLEMEN:

This guy was pretty cool too, he was a marine from the Alien series, holding a copy of the movie Aliens:
