The Convention:  Rose  Comic Con

The Dates: 19-20 September 2015

 

Rose City Comic Con is (closer to ) Portland Comic an pop culture convention, Big Kitty attended with me on Saturday and  Chococat on Sunday.

Saturday, I missed the Star Trek  and  Agents  of Shield panels because I  decided at the last minute to rent a car  for the  weekend, In fact  there was not much I wanted to see  in the way of panels on both day.  I stayed around  for the e cosplay contest. On one had it finally got the chance to see what  the band The Slants  was all about but they played too loud. The contest was better than the manipulated reality show  at Wizard’s  World a few years ago.

Sunday  I mostly hung around  and bought  a book and an art  poster.  I hung around until they kicked us  out  at 5:00pm.

The Good : When the cast of Neil Stryker and the Tyrant of Time  cast brought out the gnome puppet.

The bad: as many who attended  Rose City   Comic-Con, there needs a better selection of panels. Especially more informative  that parading celebrity porn.

The Ugly: nothing

Sorry for the delay

The Con:  Rose City Comic Con

The Place:  Double Tree Inn Portland Oregon.

The Dates:  8th – 9th September 2011

Rose City Comic Con is a first year comic an pop culture convention in attempt to bring a San Diego type comiccon to Portland Oregon. My big Hello Kitty plush was the accompanying plush.

Saturday :

The day stared with a hitch; I failed to pre-register ant thought it was going to be a small convention, when I got there around 12:30pm I was instructed to line up, informing us the convention hall had exceeded the maximum of capacity 2500. They eventually allowed allow people to enter 25 at a time and I final go in.

 

There was not much in panels to do. I attended Richard Hatch panel an presentation. Richard Hatch played Apollo on the old  Battlestar Galactica Tom Zarek  in the Rebooted new series. He was enjoyable and very approachable. I even got a picture with holding my big Hello Kitty plush.   Next I ran around and watched the last half of a interesting moving about live action role players to in a style of a fantasy saga.  I regretted missing the first half.  I went out to dinner that to the after party, which was part panel, part trivia contest and part costume contest.

Sunday :

I went back to the con after church, not much panels of interest but found plenty of costumes to use up last of 35mm film.  I wrapped this up around 4:00pm

The Good: I like the geek after party notable the Nerd folk group the Double Clicks.  The Star Wars and the 501st Legion group really outdid themselves in costuming.

The bad; I wish Rose City   had more panels and con space. Orycon had 800 to 1300 attendees but 75% more con space that Rose city Comic con.

The ugly: I been to the Lloyd Center Double Tree during Labor Day for Kumoricon and never had any problem going though expositor’s hall but this year  the room was stifling hot and stuffy, somebody need to work on the air-conditioning  and circulation .

Two Weekends Two Cons and One More to Go.

 

I was a busy bear this weekend and the Labor day weekend.  During the Labor Day weekend, I attended Kumoricon the three day Anime convention in Vancover Washington. The next weekend I attended   Rose City Comic Con.   The group for  Rose City Comic Con want to bring a San Diego Comic Con style convention to Portland  As far as attendance, they’re on  very  good footing.  I took my big Kitty to both and took some pictures. I will share a few. My con report will be coming soon.

Next is to prepare for Rainfurrest.
