So Many Conventions!! 

June 19-22, 2014
What's up everybody, yes Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con is tomorrow. Planning this weekend without pulling my hair out is going to be a challenge. I am still running around trying to figure out what I want to cosplay, because I don't have everything to fully complete my outfit. I want to cosplay the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, but I don't have the brown trench coat, so I might just wing it without it. I also have a little Tardis outfit I'm putting together I want to wear too. I just need to buy a blue wig, hopefully one that is already cut short. I tried to cut a wig before and lets say I feel sorry if I have children in the future and they need a trim. 

Before I get to the convention, I'm going to stock up on food, snacks and water. I wouldn't recommend buying anything inside the convention because the prices are crazy. Technically, you can buy cheap food in downtown Philadelphia, and won't cost you an arm and a leg. The Gallery is right down the block outside of the convention. You can buy food at the Food Court or McDonald's right across the street. But if you want a variety of fast food, eat in the Gallery or bring your own food. 

Expectations verses reality to meet celebrity guests and get into panels. I know many people believe they are going to see all the celebrities on their list at the convention. In my experience, I've made plenty of sacrifices to see one celebrity over another. I do want to see Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. However, without a guests VIP pass that cost too much money, my expectations of seeing them are slim. If I can get into the panel that would be fantastic. If I can't oh well. I'm not sitting in line for 4-5 hours just to see Smith and Gillan. That's not going to happen. I rather enjoy the convention at that point.

I'm just warning many of you guys now, expect extremely long lines for celebrities you want to meet. Just like you would wait for a ride at an amusement park, it's the same thing here. Please arrive two hours early to wait in line. I hate to say it but nobody wants to hear you complain thinking you will get into a panel if you stood in line for 30-45 minutes. It's a high possibility the staff will cut the line off at the door. Two hours is a safe window. However, I would say scope out the lines way before the panel's time, to get a feel how people are desperate to wait in line for a particular guest, like Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.
