kitewithfishMy summer job finally just ended- I may have mentioned, it started in June, overlapping with finals in my school's insane quarter schedule of torture. So this week I finally have a little consistent free time to breathe and relax and enjoy some of my goofy summer projects, like reading the books I wanted to, and finally getting back to DW and LJ.
I dressed up as The Question for the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con- it was my first time at a con that size, and my first time in costume. The Gentleman cosplayed as Wolverine (his beard is only now starting to get back to normal) and he got a lot more recognition than I did.
The part that makes me smile is that the people who recognized me as the Question were WAY excited about it. Several people made terrible puns, and one of the artists (WHO WAS THAT GUY?) jumped up behind his table and was *delighted* to take my picture.
The only downsides of the whole experience were the lines for the panels. While we were SOL for Patrick Stewart because we didn't get into the line forty minutes early, we waited for another panel for half an hour before deciding to bail. It makes me want to consider getting VIP tickets next year, just to avoid the lines. Research, research, research!
And that rude older!lady!Fourth Doctor who took my picture without asking permission- I was less than 10 feet away, you could have just asked. It's not like I was likely to say no, so common courtesy would have cost you nothing. Blehk
I was really shocked by how packed this Comic Con was, compared to C2E2- and much more media focused, rather than just comics. Does anyone go to both? What do you think?
