Comicon

Do you know what comicon is? It’s a convention all about comics, games and characters such as: superheroes. You know what else is great, you get to show up to the convention dressed up as your favorite character. I've always wanted to go one for a while because I wanted to see what it was like and all about for myself. Well on September 7th I got that chance. I had less than a weeks’ notice when I heard about it but I still decided I didn't want to miss it. I also wanted to dress up as my favorite character as well so I dressed up as Tira for the video game Soul Caliber.

After soccer practice I went to the costume store to buy a few things for my costume. I bought a purple wing and a can of silver spray paint. I went home and got started on my costume. I already had an outfit for my costume, all I needed was the weapon and that was a hula-hoop blade. I've spent two hours working on it and it turned out great. I was proud of my work especially getting all this done at last minute.

The day finally came; I couldn't sleep the night before so I woke up early with excitement. I put my costume on and it looked great. I picked up Conner and we were on the road, to the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. When we got there I was a little nervous because I saw a lot of people that weren't dressed up and I thought I was going to be the only one dressed up. As soon as I got it the convention I saw some people dressed up. I felt a lot better right after.

While walking around, I got a lot of compliments plus many people wanted a picture with me. It was a lot fun and better than I expected. I bought a few cool comics because it’s comicon. It was the best, first comicon convention I've been to and I can’t wait for the next one and yes, I will be dressing up again and it will be even better.
