I swear...I always seem to get out of the wrong exit at NYPenn Station and consequently get a tad lost. But anyways I still had to wait in lines even tho I got my ticket in the mail...

Friday was my day to check out the booths (didn't see any panels tho...). Saw
I got ALL my Teen Titans GO comics signed by J.Torress and Todd Nauck (5 sketches were done before I could even get an autograph...but it did give me time to chat with two "library" girls and feed them beef jerky. haha). I also met VG Cat's creator and got a free sketch of Leo...maybe I will make his chars some day soon!

I saw Svetlana Chmakova (Tokyopop/Dramacon) at the YenPress booth and I picked up a whole bunch of free Melancholy of Haruhi Wallpaper! At the Tokyopop booth, I met up with Mandy, a sales rep who I met last time and helped me win free swag (we swapped cards so I can't wait to chat with her and share pics and vids). It was nice seeing again and what REALLY surprised me was the MajoraMask girl I met during AnimeBoston 08 (who bought my DekuLink)

I had a feeling that the Voice Actor in the City panel would be filled with some familiar faces, and I was right. Rachel "Misty/Jessie/Jigglypuff" Lillis passed by while I was waiting and after hinting at "clay" she realized who I was! Jaime McGonnigal and Tom Wayland from AnimeFestival were also there...and two new VAs were there: Michael Stinkeless and ...erm the sage from DragonBallZ. And lastly, Veronica "Ash" Taylor recognized me IMMEDIATELY when she saw me and when I held up an easter egg (since I gave clay Pokemon to her last time) she said "Its just like Christmas." Here is a link to that panel's intro: [link] If u hear someone yell out "Jigglypuff" then that would be MY voice (even tho Rachel thought it was someone else)

The panel was pretty informative for "would be voice actors." After waiting very patiently for the fans to die down, I gave Rachel Lillis her clay present of Jigglypuff and she did the "voice" : [link] . Thats Jaime McGonnigal's voice in there too...I didn't make anything for him cuz he didn't email me with what he wanted! I also took a few photos with her as well as give her my new business card.

Next up was Veronica Taylor's turn for a gift: [link] . She and her daughter really liked it so I was pretty happy and needless to say I took a few photos as well as giving her my card. I got to talk with her a LOT afterwards so that was nice and she even promised to email me (no seriously!!!)...I got her to sign my Pokemon the Movie (Mewtwo) Artbook (Rachel would do so during the official signing). I also gave VT's daughter a free Bombchu, 1up, and OoT.

Saw ItsJustSomeRandomGuy's Panel and let me tell u it was AWESOME! In case u didn't know, he got featured on the front page of the NYCC site and does "robot chicken" style movies on DC/Marvel... Just go here : [link] and be blown away by his skillz.

I do regret not seeing certain things during time constraints. Like not going to the TM Revolution concert (didn't want to take a late train), missing the Prince Caspian panel (knew I shouldn't have waiting in line to get into the con), not meeting Seth Green of RobotChicken Fame (during VA in the City Panel...tho I DID see him during the StarWars/Indy/RobotChicken Panel). Otherwise tho I had a GREAT time even tho there was too many comics and not much anime.
