Its that time of year again! Its Boston Comic Con time! (well a week after, but whatever.) Boston Comic Con 2015 came and went, and let me tell you it was a pretty awesome weekend. Debuting a new cosplay, making childhood dreams come true, extreme fan boy moments, meeting awesome people the list goes on and on. Everything was so jam packed, I really have no idea where to start, so I guess I will start with day 1.
FRIDAY
This year we attended Friday and Sunday. (why not Saturday? well see even crime fighters have to attend family functions somtimes!) and Friday was cosplay day! This year was really exciting because Eric and I have been working on our Black Canary and Green Arrow Cosplay for over a year now. It had been something we both wanted to do. but for many reasons just didn't. And Of course as soon as we saw Manu Bennett as one of the media guests (Deathstroke from Arrow!) It pushed us to complete out cosplays. Now I am going to have a whole post on my Black Canary Cosplay alone, so i wont get into that a lot, but needless to say it was really fun, and Manu got a kick out of us, as you can see here in our photo op, and he was a pretty awesome guy, so it was well worth the work we put into it, Meeting Manu was a great moment of the con for sure, but I will say hands down the greatest thing I can take from Friday was Eric meeting Cassandra Peterson
(the amazing women behind Elvira), because through all the people we have met over the years, and if you meet Eric in person you know he LOVES to talk, hes very much a people person, but meeting Cassandra, left his little fanboy heart speechless.It meant SO much to him just to walk up to her table and and barely say hello, smiling like a little kid, it was just awesome. And Cassandra was just amazing, down to earth, sweet, and HILARIOUS. She took the time to talk to us (well me, he couldn't say a word). I adore Elvira so getting a chance to meet Cassandra was a freaking epic. And I am glad I could make Eric's year, (even more so on Sunday!)
Along with us Dressing up as Arrow and Canary I convinced my friend Ashlee to dust off her Batgirl cape and join in on the fun.Which I think is what made Friday the most fun. And honestly what makes
most con's the most fun. Being able to dress up like super heroes and run around with your friends. Meeting Celebrities and artist of the work I love aside, that is the main reason I love going to conventions. No one thinks its weird that you are dressed up as Black Canary or Batgirl, they think its awesome and want to take picture of it. You see kids dressing up as the same characters you are and they get excited to take pictures with you.
I will mention this is my post about my Black Canary cosplay also, but doing this cosplay was the most fun because of the people I did it with. It made me feel awesome about myself, and it was hilarious and fun to hug my friend and call her Barbra, or just stop in the middle of the convention floor and take pictures with another Canaries and Arrows and swap cosplay tips or find out where they got or how they made a part of their outfit. I was scared at first because this was really out of my comfort zone, other costumes I have done haven't been a full leather costume with a corset, I didn't think I would feel good in it, but honestly I would do it again next weekend if I could. I had the most fun with Canary, and It seriously was an amazing time being her for a day. With my Babs and my Ollie.
