This was a great event. It didn't sell out, I think, but way more people there than I expected. Enough so that they announced that this will be an annual event. June 13, 2013! Mark your calendars.
There were lots of guest speakers, some in person, one via Skype, and another via pre-taped video feed because he couldn't be there. Kimono My House had a table in the lobby with lots of Godzilla themed merchandise. Someone in a Godzilla suit and someone in a King Kong suit 'fighting' on the stage and a giant Mothra larva crawling around in front of the stage. Pretty awesome (I can't believe that I forgot my camera). They had a door prize raffle during intermission and gave away a bunch of t-shirts, DVD's, toys and art prints. I'll snap a photo of what we won and post it when I get up later.
The only downer of the evening was the heat wave that hit the Bay Area today combined with the Bal Theater being an old style movie house with no air conditioning meant it was somewhere around 90 degrees in the theater. We just couldn't take it anymore and left after the intermission and skipped the second film. We'd seen it recently, anyway.
