San Diego - A Slightly Different Take!
|
San Diego - A Slightly Different Take! This last week, San Diego was, once again, the host for an event called "Comic Com"! 2014 was the 40th year the event has been held here! And, once again, it transforms the city! For those of you who attended the recent Blogger's Bash here, or have followed the Bash through the photos posted.... this is a photo to show what the Gas Lamp district looks like during this event, for comparison to what you saw!  That's right!!! 170,000 to 200,000 MORE people, than the usual 28,000 to 30,000 people who normally frequent the Gas Lamp, Convention Center, and Seaport Village sections on any "other" given day! What is a Comic Con, and what draws people to it? Nominally, it is supposed to be a convention where people go to see myriads of comic books (old and new), sci-fi/fantasy books, posters and artwork, movies, and video games. It features memorabilia and collectibles; panel discussions for<b> writers </font></b>and artists; chances to meet past and current stars, directors, and producers, along with getting special previews and sneak peeks at new movies, as well as test playing new video games in the works. However, I said "supposed to be to see". I believe the real draw these days, is that it has become a place to go where one can step out of their everyday persona, and BE their personal hero for a few days! Although San Diego is transformed during this event, it's true heart comes out in this regard. Everyone can do this, and feel completely at ease doing so! What's more incredible, the costumes these people wear by and large, are all made themselves!!!! It's called Cosplay! The other big attraction of this event? ... You never know what you'll see where!!!! Here are a few examples.          |
