AMCExpo Saturday

Caught the train from Southern Cross Station to the Showgrounds. They run special services for these sort of events.

Went to the first Q&A session of the day with Alona Tal and Lindsey McKeon from Supernatural. Very entertaining session.

Went to collect the first of my autographs from

• Marc McClure
• Sarah Douglas
• Daniel Davis

Then went to the Superman Q&A Session with Sarah Douglas and Marc McClure. Was very interesting and someone asked a question I had considered for Sarah about her work on Space 1999. 

And her work on Superman and working with Marlon Brando.

I was talking to Rick Searfoss at the party and Marc joined the group and talked about his work on Apollo 13 which I hadn't reliased he was in.

He talked a about his work on that.

Went to get the two photo shoots that I had with Alona Tal and Rick Searfoss. He wore his flight suit for the photo shoot. Looking forward to his Q&A Session tomorrow.

Got to the Daniel Davis Q&A a few minutes late and he was talking about his role as Professor Moriaty on Star Trek Next Generation.

He also talked about his work on the The Nanny.

While waiting to get my last autograph from Michael Bell I went shopping for a few things including a signed poster of Agam Darshi from a previous convention and some DVD's for events that I hadn't attended (They were on sale for $5 each).

There was the Apollo Fan Awards ceremony later that evening but it didn't start until 6 and I didn't want feel like waiting so caught the train back to the City.

AMCExpo Friday Night Party

Had a great evening. Left about 9:30 as didn't want to get two tired for Saturday.

Melbourne Ghost Tour

Had booked a ghost tour when I was in Melbourne in January but the company cancelled and I rebooked for this Sunday knowing I would be Melbourne for Supanova.

Quite interesting walking tour of Central Melbourne.

It finished at Melbourne Central Railway Station so I caught the train back to Southern Cross. Most remarkable thing is mobile phones work in the underground stations. I knew they were installing repeaters on the City Loop so phones would work.

Supanova Melbourne Sunday

Nice comfortable train ride to the Showgrounds.

Sunday was all Q&A sessions with guests

• Dawn Wells (Gilligans Island - Mary Ann)
• Manu Bennett (Shannara Chronicles,Spartacus) and Eka Darville (Jessica Jones,Spartacus)
• Burn Gorman (Torchwood) and Naoko Mori (Torchwood) and Gareth David-Lloyd)
• Adrianne Palicki (Supernatural,Agents of Shield)

I decided to call it a day after that as the only remaining Q&A didn't really interest me that much.

Supanova Melbourne Saturday

A nice 10 minute train ride instead of a 30 minute tram ride this morning to get to the showgrounds.

Caught the train back to the city and got ready for the cocktail party on Saturday Night. The party was overall very good except for some loud music which made conversation harder.

Left the party about 10:30 and walked the short distance back to my hotel.

Supanova Melbourne Friday Opening Night

A short train ride to Flinders Street Station and then caught a tram out to the Showgrounds. They only run trains to the Showgrounds station on the Saturday and Sunday.

Bought the photo token for a Doctor Who/Torchwood group (John Leeson ,Naoko Mori, Burn Gorman and Gareth David-Lloyd).

Went to the opening ceremony which is just a introduction to the guests. After that the Doctor Who/Torchwood guest had a Q&A session.

There wasn't anything else on that evening so I caught a tram back to the city and then a train from Flinders Street to Southern Cross.

Melbourne Supanova

Heading off to Melbourne for Supanova for the weekend. Lots of interesting guests. Just waiting at Hobart Airport as the QANTAS flight is delayed by 30 minutes.
