The stage is set. I got real excited when I saw the seats.

While in line, I met a talented young woman that made these plushies. I believe she gave one or both to Daron. EDIT: Star was given to Daron and Marco was given to Adam.

More plushies. EDIT: These two were made by the user @cure-orchid

I also made good friends with “Papa Diaz”. We sat next each other. He was really cool.

The panel.

I got really excited ‘cause I thought they were about to play the “sneak peek”. Turns out they were just setting up.

The crew as they were sitting down. It was about to begin.

During one discussion, they were talking about character design and the process it took to come up with adult Marco. Of course, I only take the more “important” pictures.



I was seated second row. This was the crowd behind me.

There were some awesome cosplayers!

I was told that Hekapoo was, “Best Girl”. So I made sure to implement that.

Selfie with Daron herself! She was delighted when I told her that I bought one of her originals. She said that is was, in fact, her favorite piece to work on. It was my favorite too.

Okay, so some quick explanation: During the QnA, someone asked Daron what were some deleted scenes she wished made it to the final cut. She talked about this scene (which pretty much explains itself). She thought is was funny that no one noticed this cell in the back of the exhibit. Originally, they sent the draft to the animators and she was surprised as she described it, “They went to town” on Marco’s love-making with that bike. But in the end, Disney said no to that scene. I wonder why.

More cosplayers.

The best StarFan I’ve seen!

To me, the highlight was getting this signed. It was so cool talking to the crew members about the show and their work. Brian Kim (the composer) and I had a fun talk about Gravity Falls. I thought he worked on the show but turns out he was just a big fan. Adam (VA of Marco) was a really cool guy! I clearly loves the fans and the feeling is mutual.

I forgot that Becky Dreistadt (Character designer. Her name has the butterfly) drew the print that I had signed. She got really excited when I brought it up to her. It was cute! :3

Going to this event was SUPER fun! I feel bad that not everyone could make it :( I’ve made a good amount of friends there and I plan on going to more events like these.

I would also like to thank all the cast and crew that worked on this show! Going to this event has been a HUGE inspiration to me! I would like to be at their level someday and host events like this.

If any of you guys and gals have any questions about this event (’cause I know not everyone could go. Heck, I almost couldn’t go myself!) my ASK is always open.

Thanks for reading!

Oh, I also got this stupid meme signed. LoL.

I also can’t figure out how to post all the videos I took at once. So here are some links:
