The Con: Rose City\u00a0 Comic Con<\/p>\n
The Place: Oregon Convention\u00a0 Center<\/p>\n
The Dates\u00a0 10-11 September 2016.<\/p>\n
Rose City Comic Con is\u00a0 Portland\u00a0 Own\u00a0 Comic Con\u00a0 and Media Conventions. I took Chococat with me Friday and\u00a0 Kiju Hello Kitty II on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Friday and Saturday: I Went to the kickoff party\u00a0 down town Portland on Friday. I wanted\u00a0 to get to\u00a0 the convention site Saturday without having to\u00a0 wait in line. I got a free beer sample and\u00a0 listed to a songs from a band that was part Rock and Nerdcore\u00a0 rap.<\/p>\n
Saturday I got up later than I wanted, head down to the Bear Dinner for breakfast before\u00a0 heading out to the convention center\u00a0 I missed\u00a0 the Behind the scenes : Vintage Tomorrows panels but I did\u00a0 catch my only celebrity panels\u00a0\u00a0 the\u00a0 Min-Na When\u00a0 of\u00a0 Agents of Shield fame.\u00a0 I was disappointed the host went straight to\u00a0 questions, but MS\u00a0 was still entertaining. One thing I note\u00a0 Ms. Wen\u2019s\u00a0 personality is totally\u00a0 the opposite of\u00a0 her portrayal\u00a0 of\u00a0 agent\u00a0 Melinda May.\u00a0\u00a0 I just hung around took pictures and\u00a0 caught some of the lip synch battle\u00a0 before\u00a0 getting dinner than attending the\u00a0 Cosplay contest.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u00a0 I\u00a0 did\u00a0 the voice\u00a0 actors panel then\u00a0 The Important\u00a0 Of Fandoms panel. I spent the rest of the time\u00a0 buying a\u00a0 sketch\u00a0\u00a0 of cover art by Keith Tucker and\u00a0 watch my fellow furs\u00a0 have fun fursuiting the convention before Rocs City Comic con chased\u00a0 us out at 5:00pm.<\/p>\n
The good\u00a0 having another convention to go to.<\/p>\n
The bad: I wash there was more content at the panels, not just the starts but writer of shows and more behind the scenes look. Perhaps a few industry panels.<\/p>\n
The ugly: \u00a0Food prices at the con or as I call it The $9-$10 dollars con. Give me a break. Ok you invited a few food carts, but pleas $9 for\u00a0 a $6 burrito. What with Ninkasi Brewing, I like the free beer ion Friday but\u00a0 $9 pints at the convention and not to be outdone\u00a0 and the\u00a0 Oregon Conventions\u2019 catering was selling\u00a0 10 oz bottles for $9! at the cosplay contest.\u00a0 To prove my point I got a 22 ounce Total Domination IPA for $3.48 at Winco. What a rip-off.<\/p>\n
I was originally\u00a0 going to make this year my last Comic con style convention but I still had so much fun I will be back in 2017.<\/p>\n
