Toronto Fan Expo 2025 – Day 2
I have to say, today’s venture into Fan Expo was a good one. After too long apart, I was reunited with my creative partner, Sue Lawley-Maynard. Can you believe we hadn’t seen each other in person since before covid? There was a point that if one of us was around then the other was probably…
Toronto Fan Expo 2025 – Day 1

Fan Expo 2024 Day 1
It’s that time of year in Toronto again. The summer is winding down, there is the first hint of the crispness of fall in the cooling evening air, which can mean only one thing. No not pumpkin spice lattes, it’s time for the CNE, TIFF, back-to-school prep, and the gathering of geeks from all over…

From the…

Fan Expo 2023 – Day 3
Saturdays at Fan Expo at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre are always packed, busy, and filled to the brim with a variety of fandoms, a number of people come for the one day only, and it is an experience. Since, Covid, I’ve been a little anxious with large crowds, but was willing to see if…
Fan Expo 2023 – Day 2
So Day 2 of Fan Expo played out for yours truly in the North Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre as I stalked Celebrity Alley and worked on some Star Trek autographs. It also gave me a chance to chat and interact with fans and retailers who were making the most of their weekend…
Fan Expo 2023 – Day 1
It’s been a couple of years since I was last at Fan Expo. I had a brief appearance last year, hosting a panel for Dundurn Press (check out their booth this year, lots of great books to read!) and getting some gorgeous art for the living room wall. I was a little anxious about the…
