Expo Oct 2006 - "supergeeks" video

Dock · 15-11-2006, 08:17 AM

I had to share this video with the forum. It's a video profile of Expo (with some comedy), but Fred and Laura are spotted about 30 seconds into the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhrRjQxkDIU

Whilst mostly a mocking of the 'free hugs' fad at the show, and weird look at cosplayers, it does a decent job of summing up the atmosphere of the show.

Oh my god that is AWESOME!!! I giggled my head off....I love it!! >_<

the timing of laura and fred's appearence is perfect.

fuurin · 15-11-2006, 09:06 AM

Hahaha! That's a very different view on the expo experience!

Laura · 15-11-2006, 01:56 PM

Yay birthday prez hugs!

36 seconds in for a hug isn't too bad for an appearance!

Haha, you guys are on there too

It's kinda mean, but kinda funny, and all tongue in cheek, they take the piss out of themselves, too.

Emma · 15-11-2006, 02:02 PM

I didn't see any more of us in there Laura - whereabout??

Aw man that makes me feel nostalgic.....I missed the October Expo, I last went in May...it seems so long ago D:

Was Joe Flannigan really at the October one? If he was I may have to shoot myself XDD He's my fave SGA character EVER.

Well done on the video, it's hilarious XD Makes me wanna watch March of the Penguins :3

Joe Flannigan was there, my friends were debating whether to throw an origami shuriken i made at him, i told them they would get kicked out if they did, and then i left them there. i doubt they did because i met up with them later

Aha!! That's like what happened a while ago with Walter (the gate guy) at a different convention...everyone was qeueing up to see Amanda Tapping and Richard Dean Anderson, and no-one recognised Walter...and then someone pointed at him and shouted 'Hey! It's the gate guy!' and they were the only ones who talked to him for the whole thing.

I woulda spoken to Siler, he's hilarious with his wrench XD

You'd be suprise...SGA is pretty rubbish but Atlantis is actually really really good.

But we're going off topic

Holy crap that was you who handed me the origami shurikens? I didn't realise XD Thanks ever so much - I still have them

Also: Crap! someone was filming at Expo

Dammit, I'm going to have to train my leet camera-avoiding skills some more as I totally didn't realise... will watch it when I get home tonight

no problem, i'll be happy to make more at the next event, actually, later (when i get a hold of my mates camera) i'm going to record myself making one and upload it, so then you'll be able to make them yourself

EDIT: i handed them out to quite a few people so i don't know your face from others, sorry

EDIT2: i remember now, you were the one in Naruto cosplay? i think i was sat in one of the panels you did
