From cosplay to dating
games to a whole lotta karaoke at the poolside, AFO3 saw lots of activity from day 'til night
and it almost seemed like the weekend would last forever. LLNN managed to capture some
of those highlights for this year in the following two pages. |

 Dating Games: Girls! Guys! Let's not forget another
crowd-pleaser for the year with another edition of Dating Game for AFO3. In each game,
three viable volunteers from the audience were chosen to fight a battle to the finish and
gain the ultimate award: a reasonable match-up with that hunky dude or cute fangirl behind
the curtain. Will it be contestant #1? #2? Or #3? With lots of
hilarious questions and tons of help from the audience and Steve Bennett, it looked like this show was an
absolute success. Some of those questions posed included: Ultimate powers, romantic
date, favorite pudding, best laugh, first kiss and where, flower choice, favorite anime,
fine wine, job choice, favorite car, ice cream, and peanut butter. |
