Anime North Photo Meet Review

Hey everyone,

So pretty quick entry here, considering all our meet was is a photo. So I arrived at the photo spot at about 5-10 minutes to 2PM and held up the "Deviantart - Group Photo - 2:00PM" sign which I made. I also made sure to walk through the parking lot with the sign as well in case there were random Deviants in the crowd. A couple people here and there seemed to know what DeviantArt was as the passed by and mumble to their friends but I think they were just too caught up in the moment of the crowds to speak up.

So I got there with my friend craftzilla; she was dressed plain and I was in my not so flattering Wii Fit Trainer costume. And as we waited counting down the minutes 2 girls from DeviantArt showed up and they checked their watches; figuring it was early they left although unfortunately never got back. Maybe it was intimidating waiting around with two total strangers or maybe they just caught up in stuff. Then JoeNittoly came by and then Slayer-1412 and then another member, Red62, dressed in Halo(?) gear and finally Sin-Q-Bus and her boyfriend MeltyLion.

At 2:16 right as we were about to take the photo, on the main street a car's front tire exploded as it drove by and swerved into a u-turn and came to a stop. No con go'ers were hurt or the driver but as expected, pretty much everyone ran over to check it out. odds are someone's costume piece or merchandise fell as someone was jaywalking and that may have caused it. So I waited for a bit for everyone to get back for a couple minutes (Halo dude didn't make it back) and me, Pasiphilo, Slayer and SinQbus lined up for the photo taken by Leo and Craftzilla (which I will post today). So even though it was a small photo group it still goes to show we at least had 9 people check out the meet which as a pilot project meet up is a pretty good start!

Thanks everyone for coming, and those who didn't, maybe see you next meet!
