Even though I lived in Michigan for 12 years, I’ve never been to Youmacon. I already had plans to visit Michigan this year since I haven’t visited in about three years and the convention was around the time I was planning to visit. So I decided that I’d finally check it out.

Hello April & Goodbye March!

The first week of March was busy my little sister came all the way from Michigan and spent the week with me for her spring break. We went out almost every day exploring the city. Even though it was tiring It was nice to get a break from my daily routine and do something different. Then after she left I went into overdrive working on cosplays for Planet Comicon. I managed to get all of them done ahead of schedule. And since I had some free time I took on my reading challenge and was able to read 1 book and start another. So here’s my wrap-up of March.

Day 3

The last day of Planet Comicon didn’t have much going on. Just a few panels, photo ops, and celebrity meet and greet sessions. I originally planned on wearing my Scarlet Witch cosplay but ended up changing my mind. I ended up wearing my Rocko cosplay from Rocko’s Modern Life instead.

Day 2

Saturday was my favorite day of Planet Comicon. I started the day super nervous and filled with anxiety because I was going to show Skottie Young my cosplay of one of his characters from his comic book series I Hate Fairyland. Skottie Young is an artist and writer who has done projects for Marvel and the comic book adaptations of the Oz books. He is one of my favorite comic book artist and writers and I’m a big fan of his series I Hate Fairyland.

Day 1

Planet Comicon is the largest comic book and pop culture convention in the Kansas City area. It’s a Three Day event that features an array of comic books, gaming, fantasy, sci-fi, television, and film. It wasn’t easy getting everything together for the convention I ended up waiting until about a month out from the convention to buy my admission and by that time parking reservations for the parking garage were completely sold out. I was starting a new job and wasn’t sure if I would be able to get the days off I need to attend the convention.

Luckily I was able to get the time off. I also had a bit of trouble getting my cosplay together I ordered the materials online but because of the weather, it arrived later than expected. So I didn’t have as much time to build my cosplays. I managed to get everything put together after a few late nights. I had a lot of fun at the convention and I plan on attending the convention next year.
