Comic Con May 2014

[Dancook]

I posted last year, and there were people who had interest in this event - so I thought I'd update with my most recent attendance, Saturday 24th May.

Full set here, Comic Con May 2014 - an album on Flickr

Thanks for this. I ended up not going as the couple of people I was hoping to meet cancelled at the last minute...

I went on my own, but did meet up with a colleague who went a bit later in the morning.

Was stood outside in the rain queuing to get in for about an hour... crap!

Extra glad I didn't go then. Usually I buy priority tickets in advance to avoid the queues, but didn't this time... Plus, it looks like someone else had a way better AC IV costume than I do... I'll have to improve it before it's back around in October...

This was the 'priority ticket' queue an hour in the rain..then straight in - once inside the hall.

Really? Holy crapola! Mind you, last few times I've had the weekend ticket, and if you get there early enough on the Friday it's fairly quiet and you just kinda waltz right in... You then have to wait in their "holding pens" until the expo opens, but at least it's indoors...

Great pictures.
We went on Sunday. Walked straight in once we walked round to the other side of the building. I think we got there about 10.30

I don't go to this event much anymore (even with it being 15 minutes up the road from where I live) its not what is used to be.

That is not to say the event is no longer any good, far from it, but I am more into sci-fi then manga and anima and when I first started going they had 15-20+ sci-fi guests in attendance from Buffy to Star Trek to Stargate and so on. Yes they still have a few of those there from time to time but not in the same quantity they used too.

Would have been nice to have seen Henry Winkler on the Sunday but after spending 4 days at Collectormania in Milton Keynes the weekend before, I really couldn't justify the expense (4 days because I was helping out on a costuming charity table which we had to set up the day before the event)

Richard Ayoade was there on Friday (i wasn't though), but I never really paid attention to any other 'star appearances'

Not really into the IT Crowd but nice to know others were there, tbh it needs to be more then a couple guests I want to see to draw me in but to each their own.

I helping to count the votes on Friday so no way of getting there then...
