Nerd Con

Pretty well done for its first year, and great for local San Diego nerds like me suffering Post-​Comic Con Blues… mad props to the organizers for putting this together, the Force was with them…
THE GOOD
–Only $ 20, but discount codes were available available
–The Cosplayer: Non-​Cosplayer ratio was very high, much higher than at Comic Con. Lots of DC folk like myself. Love it!
–Except for a few spots, its not crazy crowded like Comic Con.
–Food and drinks were reasonably priced.
–Free parking and plenty of it.
–No camping in lines for Hall H, Ballroom 20, Hasbro exclusives, autographs or anything for that matter.
THE BAD… or not so bad…
–Took just over an hour to check in when I got there at noon… that sucked! But I had shown up at 1:00pm, it probably would’ve only take 10 – 20 minutes.
–Its a very small event… if you’re just there to look at booths, you probably didn’t spend much more than an hour or two.
–Freebies…this isn’t Comic Con, don’t expect a bunch free stuff you’re excited to get but then put in your closet to store for years on end.
–Celebrities…sorry folks, the only celebrities here are the Cosplayers, but thats fine with me :)
Here’s a cool video of Nerd Con, with yours truly as Robin, the Boy Wonder, at about minute 4
I’m sure next year will be better and more organized, this would’ve been 5 Star had the check in line been under 30minutes… until then, Live long and prosper!
