I started my day
off being tired. My friend and I had gone out for her birthday the previous
night and came home in the early morning. That combined with the previous day at
FACTS was not the best combination. Luckily my energy was restored after a bowl
of fruit and some tea. I arrived at Flanders Expo before lunch and navigated
myself through the crowd...
I met up with
another au pair who was a fangirl herself. Even though she was more into Doctor
Who and I was more into Game of Thrones, we ended up getting along very well.
We took a lot of photos, did some merchandise shopping and went to a Q&A of
Christopher Lloyd who played Dr. Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future
trilogy. It wasn’t such a great Q&A but it was still interesting and worth
the time, especially to see a legend in the flesh.
We spent the
rest of the day fangirling, talking about fandom’s and exploring. We happened
to browse some books when the author started talking to us and sharing what his
book was about. Unfortunately his books were in Dutch. Even though I can read Dutch,
I prefer English. I did end up buying a book of short stories and he even
signed it for me. We also talking about writing and he gave me some tips which
made me excited to start editing some of my work.
Day two was just
as epic as day one. I enjoyed the convention immensely and will try to go again
next year. I suggest a convention to anyone who is part of a fandom. I felt so
great to be surrounded by people who liked the same things. It was like being
in an entirely different universe – an amazing one.
