The Con: Wonder NW<\/span><\/p>\n

The Place: Crowne Plaza Hotel, Portland Oregon<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dates:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>25 \u2013 26 May 2013<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wonder North West is a convention that is amalgamation of pop-culture subcultures. My Giant Hello Kitty was my companion on Saturday and Chococat on Sunday.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\nSaturday: Did my customary pre-con breakfast at Hometown Buffet then headed down to the convention space. Because I forgot my camera and books I had gone back home and I missed Nerd Fight live.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I registered then check the space out. I spent most of my time taking pictures. I wanted to attend the Stretching for the Desk Bound panel but like the panel before it, the host was a no-show.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I spent 5pm watch Attack of the Titan Anime. I defiantly am going to put this one on my watch list.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I hung around until 8:00pm for the Bad Trivia for bad prizes event.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It is kind of witty instead of having a geek yard sale, use unwanted items for prizes; everybody wins, I got a bowl of lady watches, I think I can get a few buck for them on eBay. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>After that I had dinner then caught some epodes some magical girl anime before calling it an day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday: Not much in the way of panels, I was at church during the costume contest. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I got to the convention site after lunch at Burgerville. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I did go to Podcasting 101 panel but lounger around until The Quizzical Empire Trivia event.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I went out for a dinner at a Chinese restraint I am fond of. Like repeat Newcon I ended watched a little anime and then attended the Geek Campfire event until I decided to call it a con around 10:30pm. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The good:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The price, $15.00 is hard to beat.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Bad Trivia for bad prizes event.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Bad:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Panel no shows (gerrrr).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Ugly: nothing <\/span><\/p>\n

This year I felt the panel offerings were sparse but sill It was a very good convention. I have a few ides for Wonder NW 2014, including a furry 101 panel, a panel for being and older geek and tropes and plot device we like or drive us nuts. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
