My little geeky heart almost exploded :) Granted WWNOLA isn't huge (yet), but it is my first Comic Con type adventure so I was so flipping excited!!! Of course people who don't understand my nerdness were BAFFLED why I would pay $40+ just to get in and then more if I wanted to meet anyone famous (which down here seems to be A LOT of Walking Dead peeps).
I didn't pay any extra for meet & greets/photo ops/autographs but I was perfectly content just observing. I am a people watcher and there are so many sights to see, I was loving it! My husband was trying really hard not to fan boy when we saw Brett Dalton signing at his booth. I mean he was a mere 20 feet away, I had a perfect view of him. Then not far behind on the next aisle was Tom Felton. There was a plethora of Walking Dead peeps but I don't watch the show religiously so I only knew a few. I was sad Norman Reedus had to cancel (at least that's what I was told), I may have paid to meet him. Not just because he is Darryl but because one of my all time fav movies is Boondock Saints!
Moving on to the other attendees! So many wonderful cosplays. I was impressed and made a decision that I will dress up one of these days but I can't figure out who/what I will cosplay as...hmmmm. I don't have pics. I wish I did!!! Anyways some of my favs were a guy dressed as Jareth (Goblin King) . It was perfect right down to the obvious bulging package...o_O. Yes I looked...it was difficult not to! A girl dressed as the cyber doctor. It was so good. She had the clothing near perfect and she had the metal cyber doohickey on her face and it even lit up! I wanted to stop her and tell her how amazing her cosplay was but there were too many people between us and she walked away. Of course there were storm troopers and Jedi and Vaders galore. I saw a few Castiels that all seemed to walk around with a confused puppy dog look making them that more awesome. There were quite a few Doctors of various eras but none topped the Cyber Doctor (can you tell I was impressed?!?). Oh, there was a "red shirt" Trekkie. His shirt was all torn up and he had an arm sling and looked thoroughly beat up. Creative! There really were too many to name but these were the ones that stood out to me, on the day I was there.
It seems the NOLA stop gets bigger every year. I hope it continues to grow! Because I am assuming the bigger it is, the more likely we'll be to get even bigger celebrities, panels, etc. Which since I went this time, of COURSE I will be attending in the future. SDCC is still on my bucket list. I WILL go there one day!
