Thought Bubble2014

I really should of blogged about this ages ago...



Queuing with the lads 

I've attended Leeds comic convention 'Thought Bubble' every year since I started getting interested in comic books. So last year, it was much easier to get to the convention considering I could walk there in 20mintues... If I didn't first have to pick up my friends around the city and lead them there. And then we queued... and queued... and then we got our wrist bands! ...And QUEUED AGAIN.

Wasn't too bad. Stood in a line for a good 2 hours with two cool southerner and my sleepy boyfriend. So I had a lot of fun messing around and stood in the cold.

The convention had changed a lot compared to the past few years, so much more space and a whole other section for comic book artists and signings. I forced myself not to snap up a copy of every comic book I saw there, but I've learnt from previous conventions.. that I don't have unlimited space.. and I also need to pay rent. But that didn't stop my boyfriend buying nearly everything in sight...Which is great because, ya'know, 'what's mine is yours' and all that... right?

I also attended a panel, I've never lined up to see someone famous talk at a small crowd before.. but this was so worth it. One of my idols, the lady herself  Natasha allegri!!! Along with her production team that works on Bee and Puppycat. I really enjoyed the panel, not only because we saw a previous of the animation of the latest episode but their such lovely people! Not intimidating but just talented lovely people! Well... when it came to saying attempting to say hello to the goddess. I casually walked past her signing table, to sneak a peek at what she was drawing, she looked up and smiled; however I was too shy to smile or even wave back, so I grinned and hid behind my scarf and fled. Smooth. I regretted being so shy around my idol...

But thankfully my boyfriend had dumped into one of artists on the bee and puppycat panel, the art director. And managed to get a little doodle from her addressed to the both of us!

best thing ever.

 

 

I can't wait to attend thought bubble again THIS year! :D
