So my sister, father, and I went to the Denver Comic Con held this
year at the Colorado Convention Center. It was my first con and from the
start it was an awesome day.
We bought our tickets online before
the con opened and picked up our wristbands that sunday morning. [we
went sunday so that it didn't interfer with the different schedules]
the poster work was amazing and while I dont know who the artist was they get lots of kudos from me.
Upon
entering the art room I was amazed by the space and the amount of
people that were already walking around in awesome costumes. The first
thing that I saw were the cars that I now would like to own.
after drooling over the cars I went in search of Katie Cook who is the awesome artist of the gronk
comic and who should be given much love, bacon, and her favorite drink.
I checked out her table and because I forgot to pre-plan I went in
search of an atm to get much awesome stuff.
After getting some
money from the atm [stupid fees] I went and listened to a panel giving
about animation for Disney and Cartoon Network [Info here]
That panel has lit a fire under me and I have been creating and coming up with many new stuff that I hope to share soon.
I went back up into the dealer room and got the last Gronk Book and walked around.
I
saw Tom Kane and was going to get into line to get an autograph and be
able to talk to the voice of yoda but he was walking away and I never
saw him return.
I was able to visit the star wars area of the con
which was fun but slightly confusing because my phone is the r2d2 droid
so when ever r2 made noise I thought my phone was going off.
While
near the star wars area I ran into to of my friends who I ended up
walking around with the con and seeing amazing stuff and buying some
autograph batwoman comics. After awhile they went down to see another
panel and knowing that my ride would soon have to leave I went in search
of other awesome things to get. I ended up getting a signed Neil Gaiman
print and Habibi book from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. I managed to take a panoramic picture of the con from one side of the artist and vender room.
warning its a really big and long file.
Before we left and as we were walking through the crowds looking at
the great costumes and the last of the vendors I almost ran right into
the Captain and Snippy and Engie from one of the greatest online comics
ever RA.
ZEE CAPTAIN ZEE CAPTAIN. These costumes were frickin amazing!
