July 20, 2003 Saturday Ok, the camera is recharged and reloaded. I dumped off all the pictures off the memory card, and ready for some more action. |
Traditionally Saturday is a busy day, and this was no different. Fortunately, I did most of my shopping already so I spent most of the day clicking some of these shots. |

Here is Shana's friend Heather, who runs a Yahoo Auction bidding service www.rinkya.com |
Another one of the few bootleg booths. Pretty crappy since they charge $15 to $20 for video tapes. Just goes to show Americans know crap about bootlegging. |
Here is Broadsword Comics. They had 3 chicks doing various cosplay and a guy in a suit (must the pimp looking after his bitches...) | ||||||||||

Man, these guys had a lot of Gundam and Macross kits. Spent a bit of time looking at the wall of japanese stuff. |
Five Stories had a huge booth with Kinokinoya. They displayed a great detail of FFS stuff. |
I liked the fatima figures and many of the motarr heads. | ||||||||||

Here are the sad guys at the Tokyopop booth too cheap to get a real arcade Initial D machine, so they got the PS2 version, mocked it up in an arcade cabinet, and used a Logitech Force Feedback steering wheel. Yea, the game was in Japanese anyways, English arcade version 1's were available at this time, well at least for us guys in Vancouver... |
Here we have the Pioneer booth. Notice they dressed up their flyer whores in school girl uniforms to attract the older fan boys with the lollicon complex... |
Big tournament area of people playing Heroclicks and other board strategy games. | ||||||||||

Ok, when we complain about our cheap slices of pizza on Granville street being $0.93 cdn and the guys next door being $0.99. Just remember, we have have it too good in Vancouver. I found this pizza ad in the lobby of the convention floor. Oh, remember, you are paying in Americal Dollars.... What a DEAL... |
A guy trying to convince this poor con go-er that his tapes are the real thing.... Yea right. And why would anyone pay $120 ($15-$20 a video tape) for a set of Fraiser when the legit DVDs sell for $30 NEW? Yup, American bootleggers, as stupid as they can get.... |
The Games Workshop guys with their scale model of a space marine armoured suit. | ||||||||||

This booth simply labelled as "WOW", Women of Wicked, had some really detailed figures of various heorines and actresses. |
If you were so bored, I was... They had a special room, of the special stuff. Yea... someone was really sad.... |
Talk about making use of the high ceiling in this place... | ||||||||||

And at the end of the day, I return back to the hotel room. Here is brothers Warren and Victor back from their day at the con. |
