Oh wow, I'm actually posting! Sorry for being such a lame LJ friend as of late, but I haven't had a lot of time :/
I just want to let everyone know that I do still check LJ whenever I can so I am still reading everyone's entries! I still love you all!
Okay, now onto Armageddon. The convention was held last weekend at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, however this year the entire convention was held in the one room. This did cause some problems with sound during various panels, but if you were close enough to the front it wasn't an issue.
I got to meet some great voice actors including Sean Schemmel and Travis Willingham, but surprisingly Dante Basco turned out to be one of the major highlights for me! I've never seen any of the cartoons he works on, but he was such a cool guy and a lot of fun to talk to. Rufio, Rufio!
I also met Olivia Hack. Once again, I'm not familiar with any of her work, but she was so lovely that I asked for her autograph anyway.
The AMV screening was a bit of a let down. Of the 24 entries that Armageddon recieved, they were only able to screen seven videos, about half of which were amateur. Look, I understand that almost everybody starts off making AMVs that really aren't up to standard, and with practice they get better, but at a convention where people are paying good money to be entertained these videos really have no place. I know a lot of the entires that weren't played and some of them are brilliant, so it's a little sad to see videos with Spanish fansubs, poor editing and unclean footage played instead :(
All that being said, the awards were given to some very talented vidders who greatly deserved thier prizes. Congrats again to Sian and Tim! Damn Sian, you are kicking butt! Eleanor, start entering conventions already!
Oh, and I also won first place. Thanks for the Red Vs Blue boxset guys! It's awesome!
I also won an Honorable Mention for my Cardcaptor Sakura cosplay. Yay!!
This is it here:

Heh, totally re-used my Princess Tutu tutu :p
OH YEAH! I also met Seth Green in a rather bizarre way. See, I was waiting in a back room to be pre judged for cosplay when I decided to re adjust my outfit. So there I am with the back of my bra hanging out when someone walks in on me. I quickly pull the back of my costume back together just in time to look up and see Seth Green coming through the door!
Well, that was awkward.
Later some other cosplayers, including Sierra and Annie, came into the hall as well.
A while later, I heard this voice behind me say "Oh wow, you guys look amazing, can I please get a photo?". I turn around to see, you guessed it, Seth Green again!!
He took our photo and then sent his girlfriend in to interview us for G4!
That was pretty exciting.
All up, it was a fun weekend. It's always good to catch up with everyone again!
Urgh, I was going to spend the rest of the night catching up on other things, but I'm too tired, so I'm just going to have a shower and go to bed. So lazzzzzzy.
