Like a moth to a fire, like a grandma to an Outlander event, like a drunk Hueghan to Twitter, so we’re drawn to a Comic Con. Who have we become? Remember when we used to hide behind the Eclipse red ribbon and stay away from events? Who were those girls?! ANYHOOOOO this weekend is New York Comic Con and we find ourselves together again!
How NYCC will be different than SDCC
1. Less sweating
Well at least outside the Javits Center… we can’t speak for any of the people in full on Cosplay outfits or the dudes who forgot their deodorant but the weather app on my phone tells me we’re defs not going to be pouring sweat like we were in San Diego.
2. Less tacos
We’re not in SoCal. Duh. That’s just plain geography but there will be slices and good bagels and who knows what else, I’m sure we’ll Instagram it.
3. Selfies
We started what we call “real quick” selfies at San Diego Comic Con two years ago and it’s stuck ever since. Oh a X cosplay? Time for a real quick selfie! Police Officer on a horse? Real quick selfie time! Real quick selfie of me eating four plain slices (see, it’s like we’re natives!) after too many cocktails! You better be following us on Instagram!
3. Barcon
Is that a thing at NYCC? We’re about to find out. You may or may not know that at SDCC 2013 I (Nikki) found my boyfriend or rather he found me in the middle of a hotel lobby bar. So there are a lot of fond memories tied to comic people and entertainment people and nerds in general drinking in the same room. Here’s hoping for tons of love connections.
4. Less Outlander
Sorry Gabaldon aficionados, there will be WAY less Outlander at this Comic Con… like NONE. Like watch that dumb Sam Hueghan in the pool Vine over and over again cause we’re bored and we like to make up stories about it.
5. Less Agents
We only took a stroll around the floor on Thursday but we can already tell this is the kindler, gentler Con. Not even Wonder Con is this subdued, but like a home town get together for the nerds. Doesn’t look like there will be too many parties at the Hard Rock or unnamed agents getting frisky with certain ladies after hours and thank almighty Thor for that.
One’s thing for sure, there will be plenty of crazies obsessed over the minutiae of their favorite whatever it is and we’ll be right at home. Cause “That’s Normal!
Be on the look out: we’re going to chat with the cast of Black Sails and we’re super pumped. We’ll mostly just ask if it’s January 2015 yet and if we get more Max action and or more Bon Jovi circa 1989 action from Charles Vain.
Will you be at NYCC? TELL US! Or if you see us, YELL AT US!! We’ll be the ones dressed as Edward and Bella.
TO THE JAVITS CENTER!!
