It was a fantastic day, so much fun anime, manga, sci-fi and comic related stuff to see and spend money on (lots of money was spent!). I'm not really a die hard fan boy/girl these days but I couldn't resist having a photo taken with Elvira Mistress Of The Dark:
We stopped by the Smell Your Mum stall to say hi to Z and Vikki (SPiT LiKE THiS) and picked up a copy of their new CD Normalityville Horror.
Some of the cosplay outfits on display were amazing. We'll definitely be dressing up properly next time we go (and there WILL be a next time)
After the Expo we went to North Greenwich before heading off into central London. We had a surprise lined up for Sam, Tristan and Aaron as we led then on a roundabout trip through various parts of London before ending up at the Prince Charles Cinema to go and see the late night showing of IRON SKY. All three of them had commented during the Expo that they would have loved to have seen it so they were all delighted to actually get to as it was a limited run and this was one of the last cinemas to still be showing it. It was a fantastic film, really fun, tongue in cheek and fully of lots of clever jokes.
You can view the trailer here and it is already available on DVD and Blu-Ray for those of you that weren't lucky enough to have seen it on the big screen!

Glad you enjoyed it, there is one in Manchester in July, and the London one is on again in October-and it will be MASSIVE as they're combining it with memorabilia, so more than twice as big!
