It was pretty packed when we got there right when the doors opened at 12 but by the time we left it was even crazier. By Saturday they could not let anymore people in due to it being a fire hazard. Anyways...to add to the fun Justin came in his Creeper costume in which it needs a truck to be taken anywhere. So he left me for a while to go and get that and then he walked around for a while in it. He couldn't go far because every where he turned somone wanted to take his picture . That was nice for him. However, it kind of made for a grumpy wife. So while I was out and about on my own I discovered that I am not nearly nerdy enough to fully enjoy a comic con. While there was stuff I liked like a few Harry Potter booths and some game and book booths. Most of it I didn't care for. Sorry but I am just not that into the games and books to buy the figures and pictures and lets be real a lot of times the way girls are drawn in the games is very naughty at times.
But for people watching it was prime! There were tons of people in costume which made it fun. I saw tons of Dr. Who people and Iron/.Super/Spider/Batmans and a bunch I had no clue. Hence the not being nerdy enough. One of my favorite things was the HUGE lego display it's pretty awesome everything you can think of made out of legos. I thought of my Brother in law Ben Salisbury so I took a few shots for him. See if you can make this Ben.
It's the evil tower in Lord of the Rings.
Some Lord of the Rings fight scenes
I am guessing Emerald city. I just thought it looked Cool.
Dino costume was pretty cool.
This is for my Brother Ben- You could play pokeman there,
Justin and Castle or The dude from Firefly. If you look close on Grace's onesie it has Jayne from firefly saying" Time for some thrilling heroics. Grace went as a boy. =)
They had a really cool Hobbit display with the costumes, weapons and figures. The gollum one kind of freaked me out. But it was cool .
And we went to panal on Superman and guess who came in Dean Cain from the T.V. Series Lois and Clark. It was celebrating it's 20 year release date. That made me feel old cause I remember watching it on T.V.. But man Dean Cain was looking good. He definitely pulls off the facial hair. =)
Oh and lots of this....booty hanging out. This one is actually more mild compared to ones I saw. If you thought Halloween was bad for girls to have an excuse to not wear much this I think was worse. I saw a pretty awesome mystique costume from X-men..meaning...she really looked like she wasn't wearing anything.
But it was fun and a bucket list thing to do. They are already planning for next year!. They had some big names come this year like William Shatner, Henry Winkler and of course Stan lee. I didn't see any of them because they came on Saturday and you have to pay to get a picture or autograph. Lame. Just a fun Adventure.
