Description Now you can all see how big it is O.O

And now the long story... Sorry if it rambles a lot, I don't have a very good memory of what happened. I think my brain went numb at some point in the middle of the experience...

So, none of my Ranger friends in Tasmania (some of which live 2-4 hours away from me) could afford to come with me to SupaNova Melbourne :/ and because I'm an amazing friend I bought 4 of them Vic Mignogna's signature, and one of them paid for his own.

So it's finally my turn at Vic's table and the first thing he says is, "you have my bear!" (I was holding my Kuma-chan) which I then let him hug and I'm all like, "Sorry I've come all the way from Tasmania..." to which he interrupts with something like, "Oh my gosh!" *turns to people at the next table* "how far away is that?!" and I'm like, "about an hour on the plane, anyway, none of my Ranger friends from back home could come with me so I'm buying them all signatures" I can't remember exactly what happened then... but something where I was telling him who each of the signatures were for... then I pull out my buddy 's art work for Vic to sign and he took the time to read the text and everything. He told me he loved it too :3 Then he said something like, "but these are all for your friends, what about yourself sweetie?" and I said something like, "well, I've actually got something for you..." *pulls out large post tube, opens it, hands him cute little fan note* *Vic reads fan note* then with hand to heart he says, "thankyou" Then I say, "now this is for you as well, but I forgot to sign it so... equivalent exchange; I'll sign yours if you sign mine" I take it out of the tube to show him and he was, like, 'nerding out' (as he says) over the jeans, and telling the girl at the next table over all about how he has those jeans etc etc and I was explaining how much trouble I went to to draw all the patches and everything... and then he walks out from behind the table and says something along the lines of,"come here, sweetie" and I get the biggest hug and a kiss on the cheek. I nearly died. And yeah, I signed the back of his copy, he signed the front of mine and I got this photo too :3

tl;dr too bad, I'm not summarising it for you

It is SO. COOL. We have it here in the container - all the way from Australia! I want to frame it eventually and put it up in the room Vic saves for all the beautiful things fans make for him.
Truly - WELL DONE!

Thankyou :3

It was printed at the height of A2, just not as wide It was a real pain to transport on the plane, tram and around the con, but it was definately worth it! XD

Just yesterday I bought trousers, shoes and an under-shirt for Daisuke Just need to buy a white shirt and sew on the ribbon (for the collar detail), paint the shoes, and style the wig (which I'll be starting as soon as this load of washing is done ) I'm so keen to be doing a shoot of him in July with one of my favourite cosplayers as Dark XD

Love it. I should have tryed the equivalent exchange thing with my artwork. Would have saved $10. I love the detail you put in the discription "hand on heart" I could literally see and hear him in my mind.

Haha! I still had to pay for the signature As for the description, I didn't want to forget anything, so I made sure I wrote down everything I remembered that way I know it'd be somewhere...

Ok. Still a good story. We videoed our entire exchange with Vic as part of AD, so when I get that off my friend I shouldn't have trouble remembering myself.

I didn't, but I have a video I asked him to do as a shout out to my Ranger friends who couldn't come :3 I think I would have died of hug inflicted suffocation if I was present when they watched the video XD I also have all of the Saturday panel on video and the first 15 minutes of the Sunday one

I was there as media for Animation Dimension. So other than taking photos of everyone in cosplay one of the things we needed to do was record and take photos of Vic's panel. I was the "official" for the media team, though another team member actualy had a nicer camera than me. I took photos throughout both panels and she recorded the entire thing in video. Except for the last part of Sunday's where I had to do both. Don't thing any of it has been uploaded yet though. I need to ask if I can put some of it in my da gallery. You'll be able to find it in the AD fb gallery eventually anyway. I'll let you know when the video is up.

Is awesome, we do fun stuff online like trivia and things so even in tazzie you'll be able to join in a decent bit of it. I'm in Adelaide so for the most part the online stuff is all I can do myself.

Ahh cool Our Tasmanian group is made up mostly of people in Hobart (about 4 hours drive from where I live), so I know the distance feel :/

Yeah they tend to be. I actualy prefered Supanova in Adelaide, it was smaller but ran smoother and the signing table for Vic was far less crowded. You actualy got to just hang around chatting with him at some points if you where lucky.

That would've been awesome, my friend Caramelcat123 gave him the Mini Comic Book Project at Adelaide SupaNova last year. I was with her when she edited the video so I made it into the credits lol.

That's cool. My friend sang with him at Adelaide but other than that and my shirt and when i gave him raspberries I didn't have to many exciting Vic stories from that weekend. Did she give it to him in the autograph lines? I can't remember it being given in the pannel.

She was supposed to give it to him in the panel, but she wasn't picked So she had to ask permission to video his reaction during the signings

[link] <-- here's the video :3 I helped her subtitle the first half because her dad had his thumb over the mic when he filmed it

Haha I like how the book glows white when he opens it due to the reflected light, so dramatic if unintentional. And I think I remember your friend, was one of the best Ed cosplays I'd seen, it's hard to get the wig right but they did. Think I got a photo of them too but I can't remember where I put it. In my picture folders.
