NYCC 2015 Edition
Oct. 12th, 2015 09:15 amNew Who Review is going to have to wait until I actually see the episode.
Well that was a convention but a little different from my usual NYCC.
Through a series of circumstances, I was hired by Magnolia Pictures to run their booth at NYCC. So, except for a few rare circumstances, that is where you would find me this year. Booth 2319 which Peter and I found funny because of Monsters INC.
Caroline joined us for Friday then spent some time with Gwen and went to her best friend’s birthday party. We picked her up from her friend’s house on our way home.
Bone tired is how I would describe how I feel this morning. Also my voice is shot from trying to talk to people over the various dins.
We sold a lot of DVDs, talked to a lot of people about Magnet and the films it distributes, and helped people find their way to other booths.
I did come up with something fun for both us and the attendees, Cos-play Bingo. We created a Bingo Card and sent people out of find costumes that fit the categories. They had fun and we got to see some awesome costumes that we would have not seen. Prizes were given and people told me that they had a lot of fun doing it.
The days were long and the floor was murder on my back but I survived and had some fun too.
I spent time with old friends and made some new ones. Through a series of circumstances, I was able to get some friends into the convention that would not have been able to come.
I met some interesting people along the way too including the gentleman who is responsible for the footage of Pizza Rat, Aasif Mandiv, and Jared Gilman. I saw interesting people as well. Kind of crazy that Vin Diesel is checking out one’s DVDs. Whoopi Goldberg was running around with Chloe Bennet and Clark Gregg. Tom Hanks was walking around but almost no one recognized him because of the mustache. Everyone seemed to be having fun.
The lines for lines were crazy but those who got their holy grails of exclusives were happy. I got myself a Sherlock hoodie that I really like and had a long conversation at the WETA booth about balancing swords since their pommel was not doing its job.
I did get to go out to dinner with the Marvel Spiderman gang and then to the Marvel party. Got to talk to a number of people in slightly less noisy surroundings. The reason I could do so is that we found a reasonably priced room in Time Square so we could sleep in a little the next day.
So everyone I didn’t see, sorry to have missed you. It everyone I did see, nice to do so again.
I am grateful for the opportunity that working the convention gave me.
