STCC2008 Adventures: How I Made a Pest Of Myself @ TOUMA's Booth (But I Had Fun)
Presenting unpublished pics of


It all started off innocently enough (as all things normally do before they spiral out of control) with Touma autographing his SLITHER vinyl toy which he'd presented to


...Then I'd thought it would be a good idea to try on the wrestling-mask, just for the fun of it, ya know? Ah9 urged me on too LOL (and yes, the "random-crazy-eyed-fan" was/is me, I cannot carry-on with the charade any longer...*sigh*). Yuki-san must've thought I was crazy, but being the noice bloke that he was, did not say it to my face (even if he might have had thought so :p) ... and so, I clumsily put it on! (but def NOT the Knuckle-Bear-mask, becoz that TOUMA IS KNUCKLE BEAR!).

...AND, I thought maybe my shaggy-mane could use a bit of airing, ya know, for a more
"dramatic visual display"? (Yes, on some days, thy vanity knows no bounds - shuddup).

ANDY-TRE: "Dude! I'll just pretend to be ordering you around, okay? (manly-giggle)"
YUKI-san: "Touma-san, play along dude..."
TOUMA-san: "... dude, you gotta be kidding me ..."

YUKI-san: "Dude, just play along and he'll bugger off soon ne ..."
TOUMA-san: "Dude, don't be bugging me while I'm packing my toys, yo!"
ANDY-TRE: "Is the camera ready yet? I'll hold my pose for you, 9! No worries bro!"

YUKI-san (who can't stop laughing): "DUDE, this is getting reeeeally embarrassing ne, people are starting to stare ... just play along and the loser will leave, purleeze!"
TOUMA-san: "Aaawww, maaaan! Wait, let me put away my Optimus Prime first ne ... *whistle*
ANDY-TRE: "...man, these masks really make ya break out a sweat, no? Do you guys ever wash these babies?"

ANDY-TRE: "Dude, dude - ow ow - you're hurting me !"
TOUMA-san: "It's was a pleasure meeting you too :)"

And I've been crazy-eyed ever since! ... Why wear the mask? Becoz it was fun (and thought was a good idea at the time) and I got to "wrestle" Touma himself. Yes, although I am a shy person by nature, I too, know no shame on some random days. heh. You rawk, Touma-san! And you rawk too Yuki-san! (for letting me wear your mask ne) LOL
