The Swedish store Webhallen (http://www.webhallen.com/list_group.php ... group=1199) hosted an event where Hideo Kojima was going to meet his fans. He was actually at a bussines trip, but decided that the Swedish fans was worth 2 hours of his time.
This is my story.
The night before the event me and a internet-buddy at loading.se talked about when we were going to show up. We arranged to meet up at the Central Station in Stockholm 8AM. Thats 4hours and 30 minutes before the signing would start.
We went into 7-Eleven and bought a coffe and a sandwich to eat in the line. When we arrived some people had been in there since 3 in the morning. But i got number 33 in the line (we were told that 150 was the max limit).
As you can see from the pictures there was snow everywhere. No polarbears though. This is when we are making a real line, before that we were at the list only, so we could walk around and talk.
Straight line
The blue sign is the entry to the store. That BB cosplay was really nice.
I left the line even though we werent allowed to. I had to sneak in to peak at the setup. Just look at those standees. I heard some of the people in the line grabbed some and took home after the event
Now he is here. Need to take a clear picture!
OMFGOMGGO! ='D Walking up to him was like a dream. I couldnt think right.
Flash ^^
Konami was there and filmed this guy sneaking in a box

A movie the store (webhallen) made. They actually interviewed me, but cut it out xD
The result?
Best day of my life.
