It was awesome! but short, crowded and expensive. Had a lot of fun though.

It was a very american thing, pop-culture convention sort of speak.

I went there pushed by my personal addiction to collectable figures, or silly toys (as my mother refers to them), so I knew what I was going to find and I wasn´t expecting much more.
I actually spent more time standing in line than playing heroclix and i didn´t win a single tournament, but it was interesting in more than one way. I meet Jeremy Baker (http://heroclix.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=1759), a Heroclix celebrity sort of speak, because this kind of games are designed to people who rather play indoors with small figures than going out dancing, doing sport or any other phsycally demanding activity. I was actually ashamed of being ashamed to ask for his autograph; I knew it wasn´t a big deal to ask for it, but then again, he isn´t really famous.

I didn´t win anything other than courtesy gifts, but I made some good trades and, most important, had a time off work I was really needing.
