ComicCon Craze

Today is a day to remember; not because it's the 21st night of September, but it's because I went to ComicCon! I went last year, but I didn't talk about it here, so I might as well tell you about my time there! Last year, it was held at a warplane museum which was interesting, but this year, it was held at the convention center it's usually held at!

This meant a LOT of space for cool stuff at the artist alley; I'll get to that in a bit!

I saw a lot of epic cosplays and ended up getting some photos with them*, but I won't post those here for privacy reasons. But I DID get some photos of the attractions! My face is blocked out because I don't wanna reveal it yet. Also, ignore the sweat drenched Burger King crown, lol.

[* = I did ask them beforehand and they were cool with it, by the way. I got manners and shit.]

R2D2!

TARDIS!

Axel, Claan, Clifton [I think!] and K9!

Marshmellow Man! [lighting was weird, but I liked the effect. :P]

Captain Kirks' Chair!

Halfway through my visit, I stopped by Jackson Square to get some lunch! I got a protein smoothie with oatmeal bites from Booster Juice, a chicken bacon ranch wrap from a place called Fit4Life and mozzarella sticks from Burger King! [I wanted the crown, lol. It looks normal in the photos.]

I got a haircut while I was there! Needed one anyways, it was worth it, honestly! I also played Super Smash Bros Ultimate at their gaming arena to pass the time and wait for their cosplay contest to kick off! I got to see more cool cosplays and the best ones got some awards like Best in Show! Twas fun seeing all the effort being put into all the cosplays and seeing them on stage!

And finally, I present to you the ComicCon 2024 haul!

Got a lot of stickers, pins, keychains, dice and some other goodies! But my all-time favourite is this crayon drawing commission I got from osophiashio on Instagram! You should have heard the audible "E!" sound I made when I got it! [Scanner was really bright, so it looks blown out.]

Overall, today was one of the best days in my life! Gotta mentally recover from interacting with humans, though. :P

See you when I've slumbered long enough!
