Awh comic con, a place where I get to fully get my geek/nerd on!
I attended the MCM comic con in London recently and can say I had a blast. The comic con takes place at the Excel Centre and this is the 4th time I've been, but this time was different as the previous times I have gone with family and friends and driven down to London. This time I was going alone and taking the tubes to the excel from Waterloo station. I can say hand on heart I was terrified! Ive taken the tubes before on my previous trips to London but I have always been with someone else who knew and understood the ways and directions of the tubes, tube lines and destinations. I did mange it ok when it came to finding the right tubes for my final destination, it was daunting at first but at the same time it was a thrill and a rush conquering my fears of the underground.
The comic con is a three day even held at the end of October on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Previous times I have gone with friends and family it has been on the Friday as I have always been told the Friday is a better day as it is the first day of the con, it will be less busy as most people will be working and the items that can be bought are much more stoked as the event has only just begun.
When travelling up on my own I decided to attend the con on the Saturday as I discovered that two of the leading actresses that are in one of my favourite Netflix shows (Shadowhunters) were attending on the Saturday and Sunday for meet and greets, autographs and photoshoots, as soon as I saw this announced I knew I had to book for the Saturday.
Now mentioning I attended Saturday instead of the past Fridays of previous times the atmosphere is very different. Saturday is the most busiest days for all that attend (the public) so it does get very packed but alas I expected this and tried not to let it get to me, I was their to have fun and fun is what I had.
The event is open from 9Am - 7PM but I purchased a priority ticket which meant that I could enter the excel up to 2 hours before the rest of the general public (11Am)
I arrived at the con early as since I was so nervous about taking the tubes, I was paranoid I was going to end up lost and not find my way. But I'm always constantly Turing up to events early or just on time as I like to be prepared and it eases my my mind of worry or doubt.
My photoshoots with the two girls from Shadowhunters were unfortunately not until near the end of the event so I practically spent all day as the con which I was happy to do as I did constantly loops around the event, checking out all the merchandise, clothing, pop funks and much much more! Surprisingly I walked away with only two t-shirts from the clothing company Hard times. This is a big change from when I have attended previous times as this con and others. Majority of the time I spend way over my budget and have to go trolling for a cash point!
Down below I will upload my photoshoots pictures with Katherine McNamara and Emaurde Toubia
I loved meeting both the girls, they were both very friendly and approachable, I even got shy when I walked onto my shoot for Katherine and she told me I had a really nice smile! :)
