We walked the entire vendor and artist floor. It was comfortable as Friday was only the preview. Some good artists, cool toys and such. Tara bought some Lego figurines (Xmas gifts) and an extremely violent animal rights comic from New York (seller said it makes punisher look like Gandhi).
Sat in on a talk by an artist for GoT who got her fan art picked up right out of graduating from the art academy. She was contacted by email and ended up working on many seasons. Now it’s her career. there was self serve peats coffee and fine cloth bagged teas for everyone - better than the press room offerings at siliCon (feckin Adam savage).
We’ve got tomorrow more or less planned: Dante Basco (voice of Zuko that Tara was fangirling over), some sword workshop (for article), maybe Giancarlo Esposito, meet an old Kung Fu bro when he does his shift at golden gate garrison 501 in his TFA stormtrooper armor, catch an artist Tara follows on tiktok who does poison Ivy covers, and ming na wen (all celebs mentioned are panel presentations in the main room, which is pretty big but no Hall H.
The Kfm coverage is simple - I set it up at siliCon. Just need pix. Lotsa sword booths.
Ferrigno works the con circuit a lot. He may have been at siliCon even. He gave his panel tonight but we didn’t bother.
Fav cosplay so far was a 9 tailed fox. Tara knew the anime. She’s a little perturbed that she can recognize almost all of the anime because she watched so much during the pandemic.
I’m happy to be back with the fandom.
