My bedhair, ready for the day |
A weird Cat Hedge in Upper Holloway |
What was supposed to be an easy going venture to London Metropolitan University turned into an awkward long walk backwards from the direction we were supposed to be heading... S**t. So basically Beki and I met at Horsham Train Station and made our way to London and I followed her directions to "Upper Holloway" and we activated my IPhone's Map App to walk around 26 minutes to the venue, but after 13 minutes of walking up a long hill and looking like we were going the wrong way, turns out we were once I had turned the GPS Tracker on which updated the route and showed we had been walking the wrong way, Wa-Wa-Waaah!
So after backtracking the right way, we ended up getting there 45 mins later than expected, and to make things more annoying and embarrassing we saw there was an Underground station opposite to The University "Holloway Road Underground". I can assure you we took that one home to save ourselves that awful long track to our previous station.
So entering into this 2 floor building was something surprising and I think the words is relieved in a small way that this wasn't exactly the huge location full of too many people (though this place was smaller and still filled up quite a lot, somehow this difference was a lot nicer compared to the overwhelming experience I have at MCM plus it was something new for me).
Something caught my eye as a lot of people were crowded by the bar at a beautiful girl dressed as an Indian sorta warrior and Beki pointed out that it was Tabitha Lyons who was one of the main expert cosplayers who were attending the event and was cosplaying Nidalee from League Of Legends. I went over to the bar and found my chance to ask the gorgeous lady for a photo with her to which she happily complied and even Beki got a picture too (I later caught her again and asked for a selfie this time just incase the photo on Beki's camera was blurry and she happily shared a selfie with me too).

I even went to see one of them Sean and told him about my small Pokemon game I made during College using the GameMaker software. I explained it all and mentioned my issue which stopped me to this day on solving yet it was marked back to College and helped me achieve the Double B in the final year, yet I was still not satisfied and I aim to solve and fix it someday and he was a nice guy to chat to and gain some tips on to help me fix it, if I can get round to it. Sean who is the creator of and manager of his own game Hashtag Dragon which does look interesting, showed me his Twitter - @OxyOxspring incase I even get round to fixing my game or just need some advice maybe. Why not check out Sean's game, Hashtag Dragon.
Those Amazing Assassin's Creed Cosplays!!! |
Once all that was over and my butt came back to life after going numb during the talk, Beki and I finally got round to going back nextdoor to queue up for around 20/ 30 mins (I lost track) in the corridor to grab food outside in the courtyard. Burger and Chips it was for us both and then we just sorta stood about since this place was more like a college/ university *duh* but due to the big quantity in people it made the place look even smaller but still fair since it was a new experience compared to a huge place with too many people like in May and October.
We decided to split up for a bit to look around at a couple stalls full of merchandise which was a lot like the stalls at MCM but not solf out so easily. I did meet some nice and good looking lady cosplayers (I even met a woman who looked almost identical to Scarlett Johansson/ Black Widow from Avengers and I got to share a picture with) and I did find a cool stall full of Vinyl stickers but sadly the Attack On Titan - Wings Of Freedom sticker was sold out but the dude gave me a flyer with their future website coming out but I did purchase The Legend Of Zelda - Hylian Shield sticker for my car.

Yuno Gasai and Beki - Mirai Nikki |
Beki who was cosplaying the famous murder lady Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki anime, met another Yuno and I took a photo for them both on their cameras. I was being much smarter this time at a Con and limited myself to purchasing anything since I'm used to "window shopping" but I still get a kick out of seeing the cool merch and think about purchasing some things someday once I make up space in the bomb-site that is my room ha ha.
So it was a long and eventful day which did at first seem dissapointing and small but then again I was quite tired due to the lack of sleep and most days everything I ever experience gets better the more I stay/ participate and watch the day pass then good and surprising things happen for a reason and when I look back on it all later on or the next day then I know for sure, it was worth it and today it was since I met new people, got photos with beautiful women and shared the day with a good friend who wanted me to come along with her.
This time instead of backtracking to "Upper Holloway" which is half an hour away, we crossed the road and took the sensible way back to "Victoria" at the underground across the road "Holloway Road" which has now been duly noted down for when I return to this event. Beki got changed on the train as we made our way back to Horsham and Beki caught the bus back to Cranleigh. It was a long and good day in the end.

So Saturday was a long day full of excitment and good highlights especially Tabitha and my night out with all my old college mates and friends. The following day (which is the next post) was super special, and you'll find out tomorrow when I upload my super special (short) day out meeting an awesome person!
Hope you all had a cool Saturday like I did!
