C2E2…
C2E2 was today and it was, well, less than great.
Parking was horrific as we wound up in an outer lot that was probably closer to Soldier Field than where we needed to be. The layout of the con was bad too. Instead of a series of long rows of shopping, they were broken up with tables and smaller booths that kept you from being able to readily find where you were or where you wanted to be. It was also infinitely more crowded than last year which made for a miserable experience.
Nate and I made an executive decision to likely skip next year and research other cons instead.
Despite all that, there was some fun to be had.
Nate met Christopher Lloyd. No signature or photo due to the sheer cost, but they let us up there to say hi so he did just that.
We also met and got signatures from comic artist Dustin Nguyen. He was nice and I’ve been a fan for several years. Nate even read some of his books so he was jazzed about it as well.
Oh, and Nate met several fellow cosplayers. Check them out.
a fellow Marty McFly
CAINE from The Amazing Digital Circus
Eddie Munson from Stranger Things
The Iron Giant
Doctor Octopus
So, no, it wasn’t all bad. Just logistical issues. But we will still likely reconsider going next year.
That's a real bummer about the parking situation. Glad you guys were still able to make the most of it.

I love this Marty McFly costume.

I think there were at least four different Marty’s at the Con. It was pretty cool.
