F.A.C.T.S. 2009
Last sunday (yesterday) we visited the F.A.C.T.S-convention again since we couldn't make it last year.
For those unfamiliar with it, it stands for Fantasy Anime Comics Toys Sciencefiction.
We love to go there because the atmosphere is much better than in the Netherlands where some conventions are plainly dull and don't have as much merchandise.
This year the convention was hosted in a new venue which was bigger and better reachable so that's a good plus. Also the food was excellent whereas previous installments had the good odour of sauerkraut and hotdogs that messed up your taste-buds.
Speaking of odours some fans/visitors still need to find the shower/bathroom in their apartment before going out (let alone know about the existence of deodorant).
Loads of visitors like to suit/dress up as their favorite character whether it's from a TV-show or Movie which makes for a good variety of eye-candy.
The Force was always strong but this year it was bananas!
Present are always actors and artists and this year saw the presence (amongst others) of Jimmy Jean-Louis aka The Haitian from Heroes and amongst the artists was Simon Bisley (Slaine, Judge Dredd & Body Count) and Joe Linsner ( Dawn).
But let's skip to the photos i shot :)

Kwills x New Balance 1500
Title may be a bit misleading making you believe that a collaboration with New Balance is at hand but it couldn't be further from the truth.
There is a design-your-own-new-balance-shoe competition and i just decided to enter for fun.
You can vote if you like my designs.
While we're at it, good mate of mine Seioz decided to give me a little shine on the Solebox-blog.
Merci beaucoup, mon copain!

A-team 2.0
Everyone knows that adaptations from tv-series to movies is the new black and next in line is the A-team.
As every kid growing up in the 80-90s you watched it, had/have the action-figures and when re-enacting you were your favorite member (Murdoch was designated role).
So now first pictures have surfaced of the new A-team with added info, courtesy of WWTDD.com.
I sincerely hope this movie will be grittier and grimier than the tv-series, not too popcorn.

The big screen version of ‘the A-Team’ is filming this week in British Columbia, Canada, with Liam Neeson as ‘Hannibal’, Bradley Cooper as ‘Faceman’, Sharlto Copely from ‘District 9’ as ‘Murdoch’, and Quinton Rampage Jackson - who is basically the most likable person on earth - as ‘BA Baracus’. Jessica Biel is still cast but not on set yet. Director is Joe Carnahan.
