WonderCon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia, WonderCon is “an annual\u00a0comic book,\u00a0science fiction, and\u00a0motion picture\u00a0convention, held in the\u00a0San Francisco Bay Area\u00a0since 1987.” For the last two years, it has been held in Anaheim.<\/p>\n

But it’s so much more. It’s costumes. It’s characters. It’s running through the aisles with light sabers and Tardis t-shirts. It’s autographs and pictures. It’s whispers and shouts. And for many, it’s the best time of the year…<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

…aside from Comic-Con, anyway.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to attend WonderCon this year with my uncle (who is one of the original ComicCon nerds…hi Mark!) and my boyfriend, Superman.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

We spent the weekend exploring the Dealer Rooms, thumbing through comics, eyeing collectibles, trying on t-shirts, and mooning over gorgeous art.<\/p>\n

I also bought ALL the books. Here’s a small sampling…<\/p>\n

We also saw PANELS AND SCREENINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

WonderCon is a great opportunity to hear form the pros about all manner of wonderful things: writing, drawing, acting, marketing, pitching…you name it! It’s also a lot of fun to learn behind-the-scenes stuff.<\/p>\n

A few highlights:<\/p>\n

Cassandra Clare and the cast of City of Bones (+ a trailer and scene!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cassie is super friendly and her cast seems very enthusiastic about the project. I’m looking forward to seeing this YA novel on the silver screen, especially the party scenes.<\/p>\n

Bruce Cambell and the cast of Evil Dead\u00a0(+ a trailer and scene!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

BC is dry and witty, and the movie looks ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. I can’t be alone in my bathroom anymore.<\/p>\n

Joss Whedon and the cast of Much Ado About Nothing (+ a trailer and scene!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joss…is…my…favorite…human. I also saw many familiar faces (including Andrew from Buffy and Simon from Firefly\/Serenity)<\/p>\n

COSTUMES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still, my favorite part of Wondercon was wandering around, checking out the amazing costumes.<\/p>\n

I saw stormtroopers mourning the loss of their Death Star comrades…<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-29<\/a><\/p>\n

…Steampunk princesses curtsy in their clanking costumes,<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

….sonic screwdriver waving Whovians<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

…and Whedonites losing their MINDS over Joss and Jane Espenson (who can blame them?!)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The line to see Joss and the cast of Much Ado About Nothing!<\/p><\/div>\n

As I’m sure you can tell, the fans are what make WonderCon what it is. The best part of the entire Con (aside from hearing Joss make a reference to “Friday Night Lights”) was getting to see all these wonderful nerds having such an AMAZING time.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

Iron Man was a huge hit. I was star struck.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Gandalf…he had to hurry. His family was waitin<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-29<\/a><\/p>\n

R2D2 was a very busy droid, but he had time to follow me around and give me a kiss.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

He’s either THE Devil or A Devil. It was unclear.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

Muscles and Metal.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-29<\/a><\/p>\n

Zelda was BIG at WonderCon.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-29<\/a><\/p>\n

Scary. Move away slowly.<\/p>\n

She was nicer than she looks.

OMG IT’S VANELLOPE FROM WRECK IT RALPH.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I’m not sure who they are. Nerd Cred Diminished.<\/p>\n

\"2013-03-30<\/a><\/p>\n

Sorry about my thumb. I was just so excited.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend you try to attend either WonderCon<\/a> or Comic-Con<\/a> next year. It’s a fantastic experience, whether you dress up, dress down, go all weekend or just for the day. Just go…you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n

SO! Who will YOU dress up as?!<\/p>\n
