Supanova 2010 !!

[miss_m_cricket]

So as most of you know Supanova was on this last weekend in Melbourne. It was a hysterically fun weekend with insanely awsome costumes, great new and old friends, fascinating shopping opportunities and hilarious Guest Appearances.



Once upon a time there was a Maddy...





She met an acerbicmuffin...



Took a photo of a crowd, shockingly devoid of costumes...its a skill people...



She met a pretty Vulcan science officer...



And then some TOS officers too...



She encountered themadramblings trying to help inter fandom relations by fixing R2...or...we think she was fixing it...



The beautiful rotae shared her incredible talents wit both us and Karl...and Karl approved!



We spied on worship at the altar of Karl...



...and swooned at bottle porn.



rotae shared her purchase of a McCoy doll...resulting in debate about its facial features in relation to Karls...

Somehow this also led to phrases like "The Shat will be Shattered when Nimoy dies", cries of "Niiiimmooooy..." in the tradition of "Khaaaaaan", and the loud discussion of Kirk/Spock in hearing distance of Karl.

(I formally declare that I was the one going SHHHHH during this bit xD)



A Spock girl joined themadramblings and sparkyqueen for a lovely TOS photo...aren't they all pretty!



Grass was then sat on as the sun went down...



...and the Maddy ended up being transported outside of an Asian Mix Mart...





The next day giggling occured over the awsomeness of the Chick-trooper costume...complete with boobs and heeled boots...

And then we headed to...the second Karl Urban Seminar...

Please note: I didn't get any photos at the first one... and apologies for slight blur...we werent aloud to use flash...and he moves a lot...





























..whew...

Karl is awesome at these things, he is funny, cracks dirty jokes, cracks jokes about Australians...took every question (semi)seriously...and generally treated it like it was a conversation between mates...

He also provided awseome insight into the backstage life at Star Trek...and also a snippit about Doom...





Gareth David Lloyd singing and playing with a doll...









Karl signing the beautiful girls dresses...he was a love about it too...and the girls were in giggling fits of delight about it for a long while after...



Also to be enjoyed was the Cosplay...featuring various Anime characters...Ash Ketchum from Pokemon and his Pikachu...and Edward Cullen. Thats the guy in the middle. It doesn't show up on the pic so well...but he was covered from top to toe in...SPARKLES!!!



As for the Maddy interactions with Karl...they had a nice chat about the con when he signed the picture and then when she went to have a photo with him...he called her beautiful....

:D!!!!!!



Best weekend EVAH!!!!

Awesome. Thanks for Uploading the pics of Karl signing our backs - made me giddy all over again.

And I was the one going shhhh. :D

Nice icon. ;)

*waves*

[themadramblings.livejournal.com]

*waves back*

Thank you, you were there on the weekend?

[mysterysquid.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm acerbicmuffin's husband, and was miss_m's chauffeur for the weekend. ;)

[themadramblings.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, I believe I remember you now. :D

Did you have fun with the rest of us fangirling?

[mysterysquid.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did! Great speakers, got to chat to some comics creators, some fantastic cosplay, always good to see Miss M.

I *know* you had a good time!

[rei17.livejournal.com]

You're completely adorable and so fucking pretty! *_*
Also Karl! TEH hotness! *_*

[miss-m-cricket.livejournal.com]

Lol! Nah...its the Karl glow...

I know! I can't tell you how many times I fangirled that weekend...

[mysterysquid.livejournal.com]

Where's that hand Karl?

;)

Glad you had a good time. Was good to see you. :D

[diskoandlace.livejournal.com]

Good lord that's one gorgeous man.

And lovely young lady too ;)

[mijan.livejournal.com]

DOOOOOOOOOOOD.

*is ded*

[silentflux]

Oooh, awesome pics! Sounds like you had a blast! :D

[nikki4noo.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry with all the mad rushing around we only got a quick chat on the Saturday.

It was so much fun, I love your photo story, so cute :D

Hee! Karl really does the same pose in every photo!

[miss-m-cricket.livejournal.com]

LOL for the icon *is so in on that joke*

I'm sad we didn't get longer to talk! :( But it was awseome meeting you...

Hey if its pretty...(and goddamnyes its pretty)...then it works!

[nikki4noo.livejournal.com]

I'm still searching to see if anyone captured the high five moment because, well, holy crap Karl! Still in a little bit of shock about that. But Yay I now have my own little icon *dances*

We like pretty! I see rotae got a 12" McCoy as well! He really didn't like me reminding him twice that he is also 12 inches :D He had signed my doll early too. Silly man.

[miss-m-cricket.livejournal.com]

Lol we all have a 12" McCoy *giggles at doll innuendo*

I'm still rather giddy about the hand on the waist actually..he has a very warm, firm grip

*passes out*

[nikki4noo.livejournal.com]

He does! Have you seen my pics? I got a hug photo. *swoons*

Well I could never find a 12" Kirk (and isn't that an oxymoron) so I thought I'd get this one signed. Well in the trading hall we found a Kirk! So I had to get him and then I was all I can't take the other one out of the box, so I must go buy another McCoy, which I did. They both will be out of the boxes soon so they can have some adventures together *evil grin* There may be a camera involved...

Doll innuendo - it's all Karl's fault.
