ComicCon Debrief

My boys and I attended the ComicCon in Seattle and I can say it was a great event.
My boys thoroughly enjoyed the gaming and cosplay watching. I enjoyed watching them have fun and finally met (face-to-face) a few of the authors that I’d otherwise talked to a lot over the years.
Tip o’ the hat to Dan Wells, Peter V. Brett, Myke Cole, KJA (Kevin J. Anderson), and Peter Orullian. Great authors and people.
If I had one particular gripe – it was being given the stink eye when I brought my SLR camera and was taking photos of the event. I was told in no uncertain terms that for every picture I take, I must ask permission. How one does that with panoramic shots wasn’t something the volunteers were prepared to answer, and I wasn’t going to push. I just found it a shame that this year I couldn’t share any photos to speak of, but I still have the memories.
This obligatory grumpy cat picture exemplifies what I think of the photo restrictions.
And yes, I’ll most certainly be going next year – my kids might disown me if I denied them this. 😉
