The iCon Experience - Summary & First Thoughts
Well, I've got
enough material to be blogging all week about this, but I wanted to jot
down my first thoughts about ICON.
This was the first convention of any kind for me, so I was both excited and nervous about whether Sara and I would enjoy it, if it would be interesting, if people would be nice, etc...
3 Days later, I can safely say that we both had a blast, I've got a lot of great pictures and we're most certainly going back next year!
CAPTION: Joker & Rogue - both one of the first costumed couples we saw and also certainly one of the best. I pestered these two for pictures all weekend, and they were wonderful sports about it (they returned as Gambit & Rogue on sunday - Erik's Gambit was just as accurate as Lilith's Rogue) They were also, weirdly, in the hotel room right next to us. I felt really bad - they were locked out by a faulty door RIGHT before the masquerade ball, and it looked like they didn't get a chance to change into their Rogue & Gambit outfits for the actual contest. I'll talk more about the contest and the rest of the con in the coming posts this week.
