Supanova Pop Culture convention is on this weekend in Brisbane. Here are some of the Cosplay pics

Wow, so many made such efforts! Thanks, Maddy, for the link - that was truly a sight to see (and somewhat disturbing...).

Thanks for the pictures, there was so many costumes I didn't get to see, but there's always tomorrow Need some clarity on the Gatchaman movie.... while hunting for BOP and Gatchaman related products at Nova, I was told several times that the movie had been canned.... Tell me this isn't so?.... I've been waiting for this movie for so long..... there isn't enough chocolate in the world to fix this hurti

The company that was making it went into receivership, littlewolf... Trust me, we all share your pain. But we are hoping that someone picks up the rights to the property and continues where Imagi left off...

Maddy thanks for the links, did you actually get to go to the expo???

Neat pics! Is that the big "Comic Con" of Australia?

Sorry, Littlewolf, Imagi has closed up shop. It's great to see you here though! Are you a cosplayer?

Thank you for the link it is interesting to see the costumes, is this an annual thing thats held?

I didn't get to go - I've been unwell the last few days and taking it easy. Supanova is like Comiccon - however it does 3 cons in a year in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. At one stge, there used to be a few city-centric cons around Australia - for many years the "big" one was actually in Brisbane - Conquest (which was the first Con I ever attended in 1984 and whcih I've been a member of for many years) but with the costs of things going up and up, the smaller club-based cons have died out. Supernova is more in the style of the US Cons - and this is how Conquest also has gone just in an effort to make ends meet. It's a pity - I really miss the "family" feeling tht we used to hve. That being said - when I first started doing Cons, the sci-fi, gaming, reenactment and Goth community was basically the same people. It's expanded massively now so can support bigger and more commercial cons.

I was in Melbourne when WorldCon came into town... Grabbed a friend (from Babylon 5 fandom) and went to investigate. We actually got to see the last episode of B5 a year before Aussie broadcast! And JMS commentary in addition - quite something. But - yes - the crowd was more like a small convention than anything the size (or is that super-size) of ComicCon! I think total attendance over the 4 days was something around 1200.

okay I have finished stomping around the house saying very rude words and now need to comtemplate how I am to get my regular Condor Joe Fix.... No I'm not a cosplayer, Though I'm begining to realize maturity sucks, when did I stop dressing up and just having fun? definetly going to fix that with zombie walk? screaming into the wind and dancing in the rain

Perhaps this will make you feel better, Littlewolf..... (check out the other forums - we hve pics scattered throughout!!!) And now we know you're another Condor gal. You have a welcome thread, Littlewolf and now we know what welcome pics to post!!

I've put away the chocolate....well some of it... and now contemplate my new Condor screen saver Thank you one and all

Oh, there's lots of Condor goodness scattered among the pages of this forum, Littlewolf! Depending on how much you would like to see of the Condor I would suggest you head over to the Rubber Room. Be warned though - you see a lot more of our birdies than what you ever did on screen as a child!

Mmmmmmm.... Naked Condor goodness in the Rubber Room.... mmmmmmmm Have you ever noticed that there are more naked Condors than naked Eagles??

Well...Umm... Do you really think a known Condor should comment on the reasons why?

I'm not complaining about more naked Condors! Of course, I won't complain if people want to post more naked Eagles either.

Green, I think we'd get in as much trouble as we are in, in the IF if we keep wandering into these threads and making comments about why the Condor is sexier than the Eagle. Welcome, littlewolf. Condor's definitely have more fun!

Amethyst - we are Condors, hun, of course we get into trouble. It is our purpose...Lol And there is a Condor involved! Mrrrrooaarrrrr. Sorry, only had a few hours sleep and just can't help myself.... Speaking of which - Miss Maddy, what are you doing up at this hour???

Insomnia. Sometimes I wake up and just can't get back to sleep.

Ouch. Hate that.

were is the Rubber Room?
