Supanova 2015

This year I went to Supanova on the Sunday, I really don't think I have the stamina for the whole weekend. After one full day I was exhausted.  

We trekked it out to the convention centre, my sister, my friend and I, about an hour before the doors even opened. There was one particular guest who I wanted to see, and I wanted to get a good spot in the line to meet him. 

 My sister and my friend waited at one door to run to line up for the photo, and I ran in to line up for an autograph. I knew Perth was pretty excited to meet Nathan Fillion. 

 My plan didn't quite go according to plan. Nathan wasn't going to come out for autographs until after my scheduled photo time. So I ran to the photo line, and ended up being about third in line and we had to wait an hour before our photo. 

 The wait was worth it though! He was so nice and just before our photo he said "pretend I'm cool". Meeting him was pretty quick and we were able to pick up our photo straight away, and I'm pretty happy with it. 


I then raced over to his autograph line, which didn't start moving for about half an hour, so my friend and sister went to check out the showroom floor. When I got my autograph I had to quickly chose which photo to get signed, and then I had the chance to have a brief chat with Nathan. He is really nice and shakes everyone's hand. 

 Next stop was Nathan's panel which we waited an hour before going in, we did get a really good spot though. He answered lots of questions, and gave everyone who asked questions stickers or tattoos from his upcoming production Con Man with Alan Tudyk, or little tid bits from Castle scripts. 

After that we were starving and begrudgingly handed over money for over-priced food. I also got a proper look at all the exhibitors and had a good look at the things local artists had put together. 
 I bought a few comics from my friend. I got some off her last year, and I was excited to get the next editions. Her work is really cool. You can check it out at MN Productions. 

To end the day we went to Elizabeth Henstridge's panel, she plays Agent Jemma Simmons in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She is really sweet and lovely and great to listen to. Nathan also ran onstage to take a selfie with her! 



This year's Supanova was great, and I hope I am back in time for next years!
