I'm heading out to Toronto this weekend to attend Fan Expo Canada on Friday and Saturday. Is anyone else going.

fanexpocanada.com

I haven't been there in a long time. There was some gaming going on, in fact I ran a demo of Rezolution the last time I was there. I noticed some games on the schedule but not sure if there is any open gaiming or if I should bring anything or just try to sign up for what's there.

Unfortunately not this year. $$ precludes attendance

My daughter!!!We used to go together before. Now she goes with her friends and I am not allowed to appear within 10 miles of the Expo on the ground of being utterly uncool.

I have the same problem nevals. My daughter used to do all the nerd stuff with her dad. A few years ago she'd jump at this chance to meet Matt Smith, as we watch Dr. Who together all the time. Since she got into cheerleading, she has forsaken her nerd heritage and everything dad does is uncool.

She doesn't even want to sing Neil Diamond aloud when we ride in the car, and other cool stuff.

I went last year…really wasn't for me – ended up basically paying $35 USD to shop. Don't really recall much gaming.

There was a really weird couple of hours last year where the Fan Expo crowd (the costumed crowd) was crossing paths with the football crowd (which I was in).

On the plus side, this remarkably attractive female Andoran (or Andorian) in 1960s Starfleet uniform went to the football game.
