Another great Expo coverage this year again guys. It was lovely to see Warzan back in the limelight in front of the camera, even if it was all too brief. It was nice to see that the Justin head-licking epidemic has finally died down. Serious kudos to Ben and Gerry for the exhausting running around the venue and doing so many interviews. And a big well done to the unsung heroes working in the background and behind the cameras who made the magic a reality.
