London MCM Expo - Journey


I apologise for not posting yesterday. I was really really tired due to expo, then deciding to have a late night. Those two things can shatter just about anyone. So today my coverage of the Saturday event starts. I thought i would start off with something a little boring but it will build things up over the next few days. The journey there was quite the journey. A lot of getting on and off trains. One thing i don't think i will ever get used to is the DLR. Since a lot of London Expo-ers get on the DLR after us its not crowded at all. When you get to the stop before the ExCel Conference Center, that's when it gets crowded. Suddenly there is this influx of people, all of them travelling to London MCM Expo.
When we actually got there, there was some confusion to how we actually get in. See, when i first started going to London MCM Expo, there was one line, and you paid for your ticket at the entrance. This time they complicated the situation. There was one huge line to get your tickets. Then when they were bought you and to join an even bigger line to actually get it. Guess it was all worth it though because we were able to get into the first line. Whats good about the first line of the day is that as soon as Expo opens at 11 a.m the line goes on quickly. Its if you are in a line at say 12 p.m, that's when it can take nearly 2 hours to get into the Expo. What actually awaited us was the best London MCM Expo i have ever been too.
Tomorrow i will be doing a mega post on Cosplay and on Wednesday i will be doing a smaller post about the stalls an figures that were there. Not sure about the rest of the week but that will be sorted soon i think.

The Journey their was pretty fun, since I had that paper battle fan I constructed (to hit people with). And the waiting in line wasn't that bad since it reminded me of the Genshiken.

Nice pictures, I expect tomorrows will have more people in them due to how crowded the expo was. The heat was so insane, I actually needed the fan (and not to hit people with)... Looking forward to tomorrow's footage, since I forgot to take any photos >_<
