NYCC 2012

I went to Comic-Con yesterday! It was a lot more fun than last year, probably because 1) me and Rob dressed up, 2) We went on a day that was not Sunday, and 3) We met up with some friends. Also we went to an Adam West and Burt Ward panel and it was great.

I went as Cersei Lannister -- last-minute costume, though, as I had not been planning on cosplaying in any way but I was invited to a costume party (which I wound up not going to, lol go figure), so it's just a Party City Halloween costume and a blonde wig, but I thought it worked alright. Maybe next year I'll actually try to be recognizable. And Rob went as an Aperture Science field test subject, since he got a fo realz Portal gun for his birthday. Well, it doesn't shoot actual portals obviously, but it's life-size and lights up and does sound effects and everything! People kept stopping us every few minutes so they could get a photo and geek out over the gun. I got my photo taken several times too, even though I'm positive no one knew who I was dressed up as.







My feet were killlling me by around noon, though. Never wearing heels to one of these things ever again. What a mistake.

I got some cool stuff, though -- a book signed by The Oatmeal, a Tesla > Edison shirt, some Game of Thrones illustrations from Artist Alley, a House Lannister patch, and an Iron Man glass.

Then I fell asleep at 10 am and slept for about 10 hours, then took a nap for 45 minutes not long after waking. Exhausted. Thankfully I had off today. Not sure I would've been able to handle going into work.

For a last minute costume, you did a fantastic job! I would probably not have guessed Cersei out of the blue, but if you had said Game of Thrones, then definitely :)

Anyway, I'm glad you and Rob had fun! Also, all your purchases sound amazing *___* You're really making me miss cons, now! XD

Haha, thanks! I didn't see too many Game of Thrones costumes, weirdly enough. I saw some Starks when we arrived in the morning and that was it. I was expecting to see, like, a ton of Danys at the least.

Thank you! And lol aw, sorry!

That looks like a good time! :)

It was! I'm excited for next year.

I don't know who it is, since I don't watch GoT, but I think you look awesome! :D I'm glad you had a good time! I've never been to a comic con, but I think I'd like to go once. I've been to a couple of anime cons, which are probably similar, but I'd be much more interested in the panels and stuff at Comic Con. At least once in my young, nerdy life, before I get too old and crotchety to enjoy it. XD

Hehe thank you! AND YOU SHOULD WATCH IT, IT IS REALLY GREAT. So are cons, and you should totally go to one if you get a chance.
