GTMACCON 2011

So here are the pictures of the recently concluded GTMACCON 2011 held at SM San Lazaro. I might say that seeing my character in real life moving person is such a thrill.

I arrived at SM San Lazaro around 11AM. I was held up by the traffic at Espana Ave. I did not anticipate that there were a huge construction there. It is like they are building a new MTR line there. But even I was delayed, I was still early for the 1PM start of the program.

Doc Carlo Callous cosplayer Veronica Vergara and Cal Duck was my seatmate for a while in front of the entrance. You can also read Dr. Carlo report here. Too bad that we could not sell out comics at the event. It was prohibited by the SM Management (It was a real bummer). But at lease we get to enjoy the event more than the usual because we are not tending to our possible buyers anymore.

Dany Acuna (comics veteran) also went there. And I was lucky enough that he sketched me on the spot (I will post the image here next time). Marami pong salamat mang Dany. :-)

All of the indie creators and was then called to seat in front row seat. While the cosplayers go at the back stage for preparation for their skit.

From L to R. Dr Carlo (Callous), Mike Ignacio (Boy Ipis), Me, Ramil Ibay (Maso) and sleepy guy Ner (Narra).

On the later part of the event, boss Kit Perez (the organizer) joined us at the front row. He just sat down at the floor with Mel Casipi (Mukat, Prince Erik). He is such a humble guy.

I want you to meet David Delano D'Angelo A.K.A. Kalayaan.

Me and Boss Kit Perez. The man behind the entire thing. This would not be possible without him. Thank you very much bossing. :D
