Well, I'm back and fully rested from a superbly awesome trip. G-Fest was fun as usual and it was great seeing all my friends and all the regulars at the show. There wasn't anything real over the top awesome this year (unless you count Dutch's swan dive off the stage), but all in all I thought it was a good show. The guests were pretty good and seeing King Kong vs. Godzilla on Sat. night was totally awesome. I love seeing these movies this way, with a crowd full of people who appreciate them for what they are. I was particularly impressed with the costume contest this year as well. The Mogeura they made at the convetion was pretty good, as were the Destroyah, both Angilas, and James' Hedorah, just to name a few. My Godzilla Collectibles panel also went off really well, so that was a plus.
Someone did mention not being able to hear Shelley Sweeney, which was true. But I felt that that panel really could have been handeled better. No offense to Bret, but he was really rushing her through her questions and it didn't seem like he'd sat down and done any prep with her on what he was going to ask. She had to keep asking him which of her roles he was refering to. I mean, she did only play bit parts so the experiences probably aren't stuck in her memory that well. He also kept asking for final questions with 15 minutes to go in the panel. I just thought for her being one of the marquee guest that there would have been more done with this.
Anyways, the show was great and I am already looking forward to going back next year. Now I just have to start getting ready for Comic-Con, which will likely wear me out more than this show did!
