The Anaheim Convention Center has over 1 million square feet of exhibit space on three floors. It is the largest on the West Coast and really beautiful to just wander around.If you are into gaming they run tournaments all weekendIf art is your thing, then a visit to Artist’s Alley is a must. You can meet the artists and discuss their vision!There is a lot to choose from. I really want that hat for my collection!!There are all manner of artsy items and trinkets you can pick up for display at home!Action figures your thing? They come in all sizes.Maybe you’re a fan of fan clubs?
I love going to the panels. Even the panelists are fans!
Cosplay is the thing and something fun to do with your friends. Mostly for the younger crowd, but if you are a dyed-in-the-wool Picard, you have to be of a certain age. And you will find players of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. From gay welders dressed like Wolverine to secretaries made up like Zena to doctors that secretly want to be BatmanIf you think cosplay is for geeks and mostly guys, you are in for a surprise!
Where do Super Heros hang out on their lunch break?
Hulk SMASH!Told him he was killing me! I had to give up cigars. He replied “Yeah, but mine’s not lit”A lot of time and effort goes into some of these costumesSpace Ghost, I’m guessing!Check out the wing span on this guy!Tony Stark, meet PrinceStrong to the finish cuz I eats me Sinich!Star Wars meets Steam Punk!OK! He gets the prize for most original!Some are very original, if not outright ridiculous! But also entertaining!
Everyone wants to get in the act!
all kinds of books are being sold as well. Many of the authors are self-published on platforms such as Kindle! Once upon a time the Con was just a comic book show. It still is but also so much more these days!After a hard day of walking the vendor floor, watching panels, and gawking at the cosplay girls, where does one go for a bite to eat? Conveniently, right outside the Convention Center where the food trucks line up. So much good to choose from.
