Salt Lake Comic Con 2015














I wanted to post this how many days ago, but I've been sick. I loved the Comic Con this year. It was great and I'm glad I went Gold this year. Maybe for Fan X or the next Comic Con, I will get VIP.
There was no long line to stand in waiting to get in this year. I'm so glad we got wristbands and everything in the mail and registered online. I'm happy that the Con was more organized this year.  I think they still need more work, though. The longest line I stood in the whole Con was while I was waiting to get my autograph with Ian. I waited a good three hours in that line and how many people didn't even have a paid autograph and they had sold out online. They should have only let people in the line that had already paid for an autograph. And I waited another almost two hours in the photo op line. That was crazy because they gave a time to show up and a group and when I got over there, you just got in a line. There needed to be more organization. And I found out that people had bought photo ops at the Con. They were sold out online and then they sold more at the Con. It was crazy.
Ian was awesome though and it was worth the wait to meet him. I think he took time with every fan because he is such a great guy. He tried to make personal contact with everyone he met. My sister said he had a lot of positive energy and he did. He sure made me feel good after our picture.
I can say I was one of the lucky people who was able to get into the Chris Evans panel. He was only onstage for about 20 minutes and then Anthony Mackie was on for about a half hour. I sat for about four hours for their panel and then Ian's. I guess the last day was equal sitting and standing.
My sister and I stayed down in Salt Lake at a hotel for two nights. It was nice because we didn't have to waste time driving back and forth or looking for somewhere to park every day.
I loved seeing all the people who dressed up because some costumes were great. Others were not so great, but I hope everyone had fun. I wish I would have been able to look around more in the vendors area, but I got a lot of stuff. I even got me two Constantine comics to read.
Out of all the panels I went to, I think Marina Sirtis was the best. I laughed and she was really entertaining. Linda Blair had an interesting panel and she mostly talked about her charity. I love that how many of the stars at this Con love animals and try to help them.
Well that's about all I have to say. It was a great Con and I'm looking forward to Fan X in March and the next Comic Con. Hopefully, more great actors and actresses will come here so that I can finally meet them in person.
