The much anticipated geek and nerd convention is almost to a close! Yet its not just for the comic book fans who wish to buy the latest Through the looking glass novel or a grim tales comic or even old comic books from the earliest years. Its also a convention for the movie buffs who want to catch a glimpse of a scene from twilight or Iron Man 2. I went to Comic Con yesterday the 25th. A saturday where at night when most of the center is asleep we party away at the Masquerade. It was a pretty amazing day, I walked through the Exhibit Hall which sadly this year wasn't the best, plus i missed a chance at getting a signing from the Superman/batman/public enemies people (not sure who they are) at the WB booth. And i never got the smallville bag i most wanted. The biggest high light was the Masquerade party, 43 contestants had they're own skit and dazzled the crowd with costumes from some of our favorite icons, among the list were the Joker several times, batman, poison ivy, Hulk, anime costumes, an amazing long skit from the Princess Bride and even a character from the Phantom of the Opera.
The night even had some fun laughs when a group of costumed people from around the world danced to "Its a small world" to which the crowd burst into laughter, enhancing when they danced to a Michael Jackson tribute of Thriller. I took a few photos (poor quality i must warn you) that I will put up later. I also have a few surprises that sadly i cannot share today since Comic Con has one more day, but I'll give you a hint...one of my friends saw a famous celebrity that we all know and love. But he asked her to keep it a secret so in honor of that I'll give you the details tomorrow.
The day also had some fun adventures when me and two of my friends went to Subway, a man behind us got jacked and was seen running toward the invisible thief yelling. Wonder who stole from him? And at a Comic Con convention were thousands of people had weapons and were dressed up as Superman and Batman? Yet it would have been even funnier if a costumed villain or superhero stole from the guy. We'll never know.
All in all a pretty fun day, I have a bunch of free stuff that i get to read and put up later, including a signed Marvel superhero poster, a few pins (one that has DC on it) and comics given to me from one of my friends. Only strange thing that happened was when I walked outside with a friend, a guy looks at me and asked if i was getting off of work...basically i got hit on. To which i replied "No" and then kind of ran away. :/
Thanks for reading!
