Last weekend was Supanova<\/a>‘s second Brisbane event for the year and my sister and I tagged along to get another dose of manga, figurines, cosplay and general nerdy stuff ^_^. Here are some of the photos from Saturday (warning: lots of pics!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived early this year to avoid the dreaded lines from last time to find that they changed up the system. If you get there early, you can pay for your entrance into the event, get a paper wrist band to prove you’re not sneaking in and then head into the courtyard area while you wait for the doors to open. You still have to eventually get into a line, which was quite long, but it seemed a lot more manageable and moved quickly. When we left around 11:30, the entrance area was now located out the front but the lines were really short. Good to see they’re improving the system ^_^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

But now onto the photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t go to see any of the super star guests so we were in an out of the place pretty quickly. I wish Danny Choo<\/a> had come to Brisbane though after tweeting about being invited to a Supanova event. There were some crowd congestion issues at some points which I think the organisers should look into but otherwise it was pretty good day :P.
