Canadian National Expo 2005 (Day 1)
Every year HobbyStar runs a bunch of conventions at the same time.. This year it’s:
- Comic Book Expo 2005
- SFX aka Science Fiction Expo 2005
- Festival of Fear aka Horror Expo 2005
- CNAnime aka Anime Expo 2005
- GX aka Gaming Expo 2005
Today was the first day of the expo.
To be honest.. Today sucked BIG time.. I got down to MTCC before 4.. Got my pass and when I saw the line up of people waiting for the opening I said ‘fuck it’ and left for Funland..
After 7 I got back.. And.. What a dissapoinment.. People who complain about AN should come to see CNA and then they’ll see how great AN really is.. ;p
Almost all anime based costumes were the same as at AN.. I mean.. If you gonna cosplay at least get different costumes for cons that are happening in the same city.. The ‘anime rocks!’ Squall from AN was there.. Tons of Naruto freaks.. It seems the group who did the Street Figther cosplay at AN is back to do it again at the CNA.. I saw the girl in ChunLi costume few times.. Blah.. The Squall with the weird hair is back.. And so is SSJ Goku (or Vegeta? not too sure who’s he supposed to be) ![]()
It was nice to see some people wearing costumes for the other expos.. There were some people all covered in blood and I saw I think 2 Star Troopers.. Tons of goth too.. But.. That’s not enough.. Sucky day..
I walked around for like 3 hours.. Nothing to do.. Nothing to see.. It’s just a big retail space..

The highlight of the day is probably finding Scott’s VGCats table. Got both posters and the ‘Licensed Choboco Inbreeder’ tshirt..
