We have survived day two at NYCC here at the Jacob Javits Center. Even though I have attended many conventions over the years, I am still amazed at the crush of humanity and Friday isn’t the busy day. The day had some planned events but for the most part we just wheeled around and took atmosphere shots and of course, cosplay.
Some people put so much work into their costumes it is incredible. Yesterday there was a young lad, maybe 13 who made his own Batman costume. I am sure that Bruce’s first costume was a bit rough around the edges so it really worked. Cosplay is a labor of love not just a love for a particular character or fandom, it is the opportunity to express oneself. You can tell the costumes that have hours upon hours poured into and you can sense the pride when you ask to snap a photo.
Two of the special things we accomplished were that we went to Hasbro to discuss the Has-Labs Ghost Rider and the Audible Books Sandman event Pop Up! We will talk more at length when I don’t have to be somewhere else. 10 minutes.
