What: New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2016
Where: Manhattan, NY
Cost: Hours of anxiety waiting in the virtual waiting room to buy tickets then the cost of the tickets, plus the cost of over priced food, plus the cost of any extras (all worth it, though!)
Summary: It's a utopian no-judgement zone where everything is unicorns and amazingness (except for the lines, oh the endless lines).
So, New York Comic Con. A year ago two of my friends went and had the grandest of times, even if for just a day. The rest of our group decided we needed to go. Through a lucky break, most of us were able to go on Saturday and Sunday and several of us were able to attend all four days. Each of us had a different agenda and different things we wanted to see. ALL of us had a ball. While the highlights for me were the signings with the Wynonna Earp group and photo ops I got to share with my friends, I didn’t buy the tickets with the expectation of either of those, and it is the entirety of the experience I will remember and treasure.
This post grew from a funny little ‘this is what xyz looks like…’ for a few funny things that I saw but quickly grew into a full account (well, at least a full smattering, if that’s even a thing) of my long weekend.
If you are at all interested in pop culture, I recommend attending a Comic Con; it’s a trip and a half.
So without further ado, this is what 4 days at NYCC 2016 looked like to me. :)
