Well, the family went to the Big Toronto Fan Expo (read: ComicCon/Sci-Fi Con) and it was amazing, we havent been since 2001 when my oldest was merely 6 months old.
The only changes I really noticed were the gaming section and the lack of comics to buy. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of vendors, but nowhere near the amount that I remember from previous years.
My youngest, Ethan, had never been, so I imagine to a 5 year old, that was a LOT to take in, all the THOUSANDS of people walking around, and some of the costumes were incredible, right down to the finest detail, others were lame, but their hearts were in the right place.
I bought a whack of McFarlane Dragons figures, and a buncha comics. The kids got a bunch of Star Wars figures, and the wife bought a nice Hardcover book on the girls of DC Comics.
My buddy Rob came along, with his kids in tow, and we had an incredible time.
The Sci-Fi expo had their big name celebrites there, and I got to see:
Sean Astin, Edward James Olmos, Buzz Aldrin, Renee O'Connor (yowza), Kristy Swanson (yum!), Shawnee Smith (not too shabby), Laura Vandervoort (DROOL), Brent Spiner, Sid Haig, Wes Craven, Michael Rosenbaum, and Henry friggin Winkler.
I wasn't too concerned if I met them, it was just cool to see them in person, and thats okay with me.
I posted some pics on my FaceBook page, with more to come....
Drop a line!

I have watched the new Star Wars Movie: The Clone Wars! It's nice, I simply love it! Although the graphics might not be as good as I thought but overall is still very nice!

shauna and i had a blast too , lex was actually really cool in person and henry winkler was probly the most classy celeb there,
One of my most memorable moments: my seven year-old daughter pointing Sean Astin out to me... he was wearing a hat and glasses, but she recognized him instantly. Yes, we're breeding geeks over here... [tears up]
