Yesterday I had the pleasure of swinging into New York ComicCon with Julia and some of our friends! (You can see them all above.) Unfortunately, between my boyfriend's panic attacks and her boyfriend's busted knee, I didn't stay too long; I brought them home so that they could start feeling better.
This means I missed the Firefly panel (psh, like I would've gotten in anyway), the Ladies Who Steam panel and the Tamora Pierce panel. Le sigh!However, I had a LOT of fun while I was there. I ran into Julie from Bloggers Heart Books for a few seconds - lines, lines everywhere! - and spent a bit too much time trying to figure out if I could steal the Alexia Tarabotti cardboard cutout.
Luckily, I still had time to shop - I picked myself up a Daenerys poster as well as a present for Julia - and take lots of pictures. I even got to commission a portrait of my boyfriend as a white mage!
Sexier, scruffier Harry Potter? Oh yes.
The best part?

I love comic cons! I went to the San Diego one this year. Wish I lived closer to one, I would go every year. Denver just started one so I might check that one out next year.

One day I'll go to comic-con, one day...
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that you missed the Firefly panel, but what was your favourite part of what you saw?
The cosplayers. It's always the cosplayers; I love seeing how much fun and work they put into honoring their favorite fandoms.
DeleteI had no idea you were at Comic Con! I think I may have seen your friend and not even realized it until now! xD
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry that you weren't able to get to the panels that you wanted to go to but hopefully your boyfriend and your friend's boyfriend felt better. I managed to get into the Firefly panel a few hours n advance and it. was. awesome. Wow.
