Emerald City Comic Con 2018
DAY
ONE
The
first day of Emerald City Comic Con was exploration and interview day. I (Sam)
had the opportunity to interview Matt Mair Lowery & Cassie Andersen of
Lifeformed for Fangirl Nation Magazine. Their comic Lifeformed: Cleo Makes
Contact is a coming of age story in a post-alien invasion setting. It's LOADS
of fun.
Once
we finished the early interview we roamed the convention center grounds to
familiarize ourselves with the places we needed to be throughout the weekend.
While wandering we chanced upon Eurobeat Kasumi Photography who captured the
adorable image you see to the right.
Some
things to know about the Washington State Convention Center (for those daring
to attend an event there)...
- There are LOTS of nooks and
crannies to find.
- There are LOTS of food venues
within walking distance.
- The escalators break A LOT.
DAY
TWO
The
second day of the convention was EVEN BETTER than the first. For starters, we
ran into more friends at the convention on this day. We also dressed as some of
our favorite characters from the Seven Deadly Sins and I got a beer (which
Meliodas proceeded to steal, as seen in the image to the right).
Our
Sins cosplays were a hit so we had frequent stops in the dealer hall. I managed
to pick up a cute pair of mint green cat ears that matched my wig and wore
those proudly the rest of the day. During our browsing we also discovered some
new ways to get in and out of the main convention building (which became handy
for Saturday).
We
also had the chance to eat dinner with an old friend!
DAYS
THREE & FOUR
While
we greatly enjoyed these days a big part of our team was missing: Lina. She
unfortunately contracted an ailment that put her in the hospital for the end
portion of our trip. Despite that set back she happily text us pictures of her
hanging out with a cat and watching anime so we knew she was in good hands.
On
Saturday we presented our Cosplay 102 Panel with Kii Chan Cosplay, AESmith,
Krysta & Amber Brite. The panel was packed and our information ran over the
allotted time frame (oops!). Thankfully we had some very patient presenters
after us who gave us some time with our fans before we rushed out into the
Cosplay Hall in the TCC building.
Sunday
was a VERY open day. We shopped, took pictures, gathered at meetups and ran
into some ecstatic RWBY fans (we were in Nora, Pyrrha and Qrow costumes). Our panel
for that day LITERALLY CLOSED THE CON. It was full of wiley RWBY fans who were
ready to debate theories circulating about the show and its cast. After some
heated, but constructive debates we took photos with the attendees present at
our panel then sighed a breath of relief at a weekend well used.
