LONDON MCM EXPO
---- MAY ----
23rd & 24th

It's that time of the year again - time for the MCM Expo! I know a few people on this forum went last time, so I thought I'd take it upon myself to make the thread for this years expo. The event will take place exactly two months from today, on the 23rd and 24th of May, and is held in the London Excel Centre.

Anyone going again this year? Or perhaps going for their first time? I went last year in May and it was frickin' awesome, but I didn't get to go to the one in October. I'll be attending again this year, however, with the same people I went with last time. I actually can't wait, I'm so restless I want to be there now! We've already got our early entry tickets for both days and hotel booked for friday, saturday and sunday (staying 'til monday - yeah!). Planning to get the train tickets this wednesday, but I hear theres some work being done to the tracks or the trains or something over the Expo weekend, so getting there might be a pain.

Last October, around 30,000 people attended, and they broke the world record for 'most people dressed as video game characters' which was perviously held by Germany. This year they're aparrently making the event even bigger since more people are expected to come. It was already huge and now they're making it bigger, woo.

Anyway, some of you guys have to be going, so let the discussion begin!

I'll probably be going this time, not dressing up since I'm not THAT into anime or anything but yea, should be good, going with a few friends.

We had them coming down into Telford last month. It was awesome!

Yeah, I'm not cosplaying either... more money to spend on delicious merchandise. :eusa_droo

Id love to go, but got no one to go with. My mates dont like anime and dont even know i watch it, the ppl at school who do like anime are weird and are those type of ppl that just wanna be 'original'. Then again, there are the 2 ppl on my road who like it, but they think bleach is god and its better than any other anime ever.
