Well, here it is, the entry where I talk about my first ever experience at New York Comic Con.

When I got there they wrapped the gigantic crowd through a labyrinth of rooms and hallways and stairs and then they led us through this gigantic room where we walked back and forth until we reached the end. And then who decided to jump ahead of me in line?

BOOM. Stan Lee. Hey how’s it going. One of the most influential figures in the entire comic book universe. I knew he was going to be at Comic Con, but I didn’t know I would be THAT CLOSE to him. I was freaking out. Here is the video of it. 

I really really really enjoyed the convention. There was just so much cool stuff to look at. I also talked with some really interesting comic book artists about their work and how they got started and I really admire their talent. If I could draw, I would make comics.

I also had no idea what to expect, going into this on my own. I was all concerned on whether my outfit was too weird or if it was strange that I was going by myself, or that I sometimes I get the Marvel and DC universes mixed up and I would look stupid if someone quizzed me on it, or that I’m really a newcomer into this whole game.

But none of that happened, it was so refreshing how non-judgemental everyone there was. Seriously, they were all just happy to be there. You could be wearing street clothes, or you could show up in a full on Princess Leia bikini and know nothing about Star Wars and everyone would be okay with that. No inhibitions or shame. (But if you were to opt for the Princess Leia bikini, just be prepared for the barrage of people who will want to take pictures of/with you.)

Also, FREE STUFF. I only bought two things, and I was carrying around bags FULL of stuff. Mostly free comics and buttons and flyers and business cards, but there are some real gems in there. 

Basically, at the end of the day, it was just an afternoon of fun looking at all of the crazy costumes and flipping through comics and smiling and talking to dudes about how much I love Nintendo 64.
