AGSMA's WorldCon trip part II! More pictures!
 

Ugh, waynekaa is forcing my hand! ::shakes fist:: Class and the commute tomorrow, oh how I miss my sleep?..

But anyway, super-long overdue, the rest of AGSMA?s WorldCon trip, ultra-condensed! No time to be very wordy anymore!

Since we had been invited to the Adventurer?s Club (the WorldCon daycare), we horsed around only for a little while in the morning, then put all the gear back on to go visit the children. They ranged from ages 5-10(ish). Such cute kids! They got over-excited about the costumes, and kept pounding on Ed and Bloo to convince themselves that there were people inside. One little girl screamed herself hoarse trying to tell me how much she ?loved cereal?, just like Cheese. She was CRAZY. Meanwhile, all the lovely adults in the room were having a blast watching us get crushed by flying children. It was a somewhat frightening, awesome half-hour.

We were incredibly fortunate to have photographer friends along. I would like to take a brief moment to thank the boys of www.i360.com (visit their site! They take pictures of costumers). One of them was the pilot of Coco for our skit, and they both took photos for us the next day. As you will soon see, they are both incredible photographers, and we are lucky, lucky people to be graced with their talent and generosity. THANKS, GUYS!!!

We?re here, kiddies! You can see the man I call Gandalf introducing us to the children. He?s very popular for his charisma and kid-centered programs, and he was specially asked to come to WorldCon (all the way from Scotland) to run the Kid?s Club.

So for a little while, we stood in front of the kids and answered their questions and comments. They were so cute!

I love this shot because you can see Eduardo?s size in proportion to the children:

Then Gandalf invited the children to come up and ?meet? the Foster?s crew, and THE MADNESS BEGAN!

A pleasure, miss. Blooregard Q. Kazoo?s the name.

The kids loved Eduardo, and couldn?t believe that waynekaa was inside?.

?so they ended up sticking their arms into his mouth to try to ?find? waynekaa! Mm, children for lunch.

I almost got a cavity from watching this kid. He was so shy, but he hugged every single one of us:

The same child came up to me a little later and asked ?Where?s Richie? Why is he not with Blake?? I explained that Richie was wearing Bloo (we figured the kids would rather see Bloo than Richie). The poor kid got so sad. ?Richie should be with Blake!? he kept saying. So we pulled my over-heated sister out of Bloo and presented him with a slightly disheveled Richie Wildebrat. Oh happy day! He hugged her too.

Gandalf?s favorite Friend was Coco. He insisted on a solo shot with her, ?that old bird!?

And THIS was that CRAZY little girl who loved Cheese! Even though he smelled. She reminded me of Goo (hyper-active!)

?Children taste funny.?

And when we finally left the children, the Adventurer?s Club staff made us HONORARY MEMBERS OF THE CLUB!!!! We each got an official Member?s Only patch. When I get my life back from school, I?m going to sew mine to Mac?s backpack so he?ll always be an Adventurer!

I think the pictures have made this post a little long, so I?ll put up the last of the pictures in one more post. All that?s left is some of our photoshoot!

One word: Awwwww!!

I loved the photo I saw before of that little boy hugging Eduardo's face. Plus got a big laugh of the kids sticking their hands in his mouth. Bad Ed, no eating children!

Looks like you all (children and Gandalf included) had a blast! What kind of questions did they ask?`

Aw, this is adorable!

8D Those are all cute!!!!! Thank you for sharing. :)

Wow, "children taste funny" is my new favorite cheese quote, despite the fact that he never said it in the show. (winkwinknudgenudge, craig)

Thanks for posting!!!!! :terrsmile:

Does Craig lurk at this forum?

I know both Craig and Lauren have read this forum, but I honestly couldn't tell you how *much* they do. They may stick to specific topics or something, not having all the time in the world to read everything. But yes, they've been here.

I think that's good they show up now and then, it's nice to know creators are actually looking into the words of their fans at least on some degree. I think that's one thing creators should do more often, look at fans comments first hand.

Back to the worldcon photos, I gotta say they look amazing and much better now that the photos are more close up. This gives me a really good look at em and I think they all came out great. The costumes are literally amazing, no Foster's cosplay will ever top it.

I also loved the fact the Frankie kiss from "Frankie my dear" was put in as a photo, :frankiesmile: that's so sweeeeet!i think Frankie's cosplayer did a great job on the outfit, it REALLY looks just like her. Liddy makes a cute RL Frankie Foster if you don't mind me saying.

EDIT

This was meant for the Photo album thread number 3, but, you get the idea. Sorry.

I agree with Mr. Marshmallow that's awesome they come here every so often.
Yep the con report is good cos you can only see little specks on the video but these pictures show you all the details. Frankie's got all the earrings too. :jk:

AWWW! That is so totally awesome! Those kids are lucky.
Love the picture where Cheese is eating the girl's head.

^_____^ Let's see....Gandalf started by asking the kids if they knew our (the character's) names, and one boy named us individually. We got a lot of "I WATCH THAT SHOW! I WATCH IT ALL THE TIME!" shouts, and "I SAW YOUR SKIT!" and "I LIKE CHEESE! MAKE HIM SAY SOMETHING!" As for questions, I can't remember all of them, but some of them really made me laugh:

1. (to Furtech, our Blake. S) Can you fly?
2. Why doesn't Ed say anything? (waynekaa refused to talk. I think we told the kids that "Ed" was too shy).
3. Do you wear your costumes all the time? (I wish. Mac is COMFY).
4. (to Bloo) Is someone in there? Can you see me? How many fingers am I holding up? (the bad lighting made it hard to make out the kids, so my poor sister did a lot of blind hugging and reaching/swatting of children).
5. Why is Wilt on a pole? Why doesn't he talk?
6. (to Coco) COCOCOCOCOCO! ::hysterical laughter:: COCOCOCOCOCOCOCO!!! ::more hysterical laughter)

Ah, children. <3 <3 <3

That and Ed's voice is so a hard one to pull off, if I did it live for the kids I'd probably lose my voice in 5-10 minutes. And the voice sounds funny echoing out of him too.

I can see why waynekaa would refuse to talk as Eduardo. Hitting a voice that low would kill anyone's voice box/throat! But still seems like you had fun.

That is just WONDERFUL. Kids are awesome, and too cute.

Say, Wayne-O, do you think you can dress Eduardo up for the holidays with the candy-cane horns, jingle bell tail, wreath on the belt buckle and mistletoe on the right horn like in "A Lost Claus" and send the pic to us?

You guys did a great job & your'e presentation was funny.
"Cheese comes from Happy Cows!"8D

Hrm, gotta go find that episode and see what that looks like :D

Just look in the "A Lost Claus" screengrabs.

Oh that ha ha, dunno if I'll have time to do that

Here ya go.

Oh :X
I went to look at it at Sparky's screencap site, you didn't have to go thru all that trouble. I meant I don't think I have enough time to make the Christmas mods to put on Eduardo
But thanks for putting up the picture anyway, so nice of you!

I see wayne's selling the Cheese plushie on eBay!

Eduardo is awesometastic the way he is. :]

And I can't stop drooling over your Ouran costumes. Everything is as clean and pressed and snazzy as it's supposed to be. <3 *grabby hands*

:O our Ouran pics weren't in that report ^_^;;;; But thanks! Ouran is love just like Fosters!

Yeah, it was an off-topic remark about what I found on your site. Couldn't help commenting on it. :]

Do you plan on taking the FHFIF crew to more cons? The artistry must be even more of a sight to behold in real life.

I think we might do San Diego Comic Con (without my Cheese obviously :o )
We do plan to pick the con carefully cos a life size Wilt and Eduardo are a pain to transport and store.

Well I hope you'll hang with us at the Comic-Con! :terrsmile:

That sounds like fun! What hotel you all staying at?
And I hope the Cartoon Network crew have a booth/panel again.

We don't know yet, its early. I'm thinking I may create a private mailing list for everyone who's going or something so we can discuss travel plans off of the publicness of the forum. Safety first. ;)

That would be fantastique! ;)

OH! OH! OH! YAY. PLEASE!

Gandalf and Foster's cosplays. Nice pair.
