CON REPORT:Niagara Falls ComiCon 2016

After months of planning, scheming, and pacing, NFCC 2016 finally arrived!

Until it, I had only ever attended the Sunday of a con for a few hours. It was cool.

This was amazing! Being there for the Saturday is completely different.  I saw so many awesome costumes and objects, and met an absolute plethora of dynamite people. Smiley

I finally got to see the 501st march by!

The con was run very well, and was well organised, but I do have one complaint.  On the Saturday the venue parking lot was full, so we had to park a good four blocks away, pay double, and proceed to walk in our now soaked in sweat costumes (JediCosmo was in a fur suit - I can't imagine).  Then once we got there, we had to stand in line to get in, since the venue was at capacity.  I was annoyed to say the least.  I purchased tickets for this particular event months ago, and felt that I should have at least had first crack at venue parking for that.  No. Evidently pre-purchasing tickets only gets you into a shorter line. O_o

I took a whole bunch of pics, and compiled them into two slideshows - set to music. Tongue

Nylora donned her Harley Quinn costume on Saturday, and JediCosmo (dressed as Ares) put on Sith attire.

We saw a bunch of Ultra Sabers, and I got to hold a Flamberge - nice. Smiley

Our costumes were a hit, and we all posed for a ton of pics ourselves.  We also handed out a number of US business cards to folks who were blown away by ours...lol

We all had a tremendous amount of fun, and it was spectacular having JediCosmo stay here for a couple of nights.

Looking forward to the next event...

medwyn, why can't you?

I have to work on weekends (funny schedule) and my days off are on weekdays.
It means I usually miss every social events but in return I can avoid the weekend crowd on Tue or Wed when I visit a nice place Smiley
Fortunately the Secret Cinema Star Wars was on a weekday last year and it gave me a good amount of fuel to live with until another SW event I can attend.
And your pics Smiley

Well that blows.  With your moves, you'd be a total hit (pardon the pun).

It is con season though. I expect a lot more people will be posting pics. Smiley
