Blizzcon 2009

Here's some pics. of the Blizzcon Convention in Anaheim. The event sold 20,000 tickets, lasted 2 days, and there were some crazy long lines for all the activities.

I took occasional breaks outside to get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful California sunshine. One of the bigger events was the unveiling of the newest WOW expansion, if you are a gamer than you know what I am talking about!

There were a handful of people dressed in character, these are some of the better costumes that we saw, I didn't take pictures of the bad costumes, sorry.

Kyle and I taking a quick stop at one of the fountains outside the convention. Above, Kyle was fortunate to meet up with a group of fellow gamers that he has known for some time. We enjoyed spending time with his friends and having the chance to get to know them out of the game. Ozzie was the performer for the concert on closing day of the convention, Kyle and I skipped this as we preferred to spend the time with friends than in a overly crowded smoky room.
