5 Fandom Friday: Conventions I've Been To Or Wish To Attend

Ever since I found San Diego Comic Con in 2009, the nerd convention circuit has been like a drug to me!  At first I loved seeing all the celebrities that I had grown to love over the years.  Then it was the swag, the glorious swag...when those two things faded from my view, I learned that the real reason I loved attending conventions.  It was for the interactions I had with fans just like me!  I had finally found the people who understand what it is like to LOVE something so much!

Here are just a few of the cons that I wish to attend...one day!

1.  New York Comic Con.  Besides SDCC, NYCC is the largest convention in the United States.  Bonus points for being in one of the best cities in the world!  I would love to take a return vacation to NYC and enjoy this awesome con while there!

2.  Gallifrey One.  Every Doctor Who fan's dream!  A place where EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is Doctor Who.  A huge plus is that this con is now right down the street from where I live!  I'm looking to attend THIS year if anyone has a ticket they need to get rid of!!

3.  Dragon Con.  I've never been to Atlanta, home to The Walking Dead!  I'm sure along with the con a TWD tour would be in order as well!  PLUS all the fun that happened during THESE Being Human photo ops, I need a piece of that!

4.  London Comic Con.  Yeah this one should have been number one!  England + a nerd convention...pure BLISS!

5.  Denver Comic Con.  I want to attend this con so much because it is where my entire The Nerdy Girlie team lives!!!  I LOVE going to cons with my favorite people and if it can happen twice in one year, all the better!!

I cannot wait to see what cons you all choose!  Share your links in the comments below and tweet me for a RT!  I hope to see you all at a con very soon!

ps NEXT week's 5 Fandom is my favorite and most personal post.  I've been working on it for a couple months, tweaking and changing, adding and subtracting.  I cannot WAIT to share it with you next week!

I would LOVE to go to the one in NYC and London. They just seem like they have the best there. We have one in New Orleans, but it seems wimpy. LOL

I had no idea you guys had a version of Being Human as well! I will have to give it a little nosey, I adored the UK version, so it would be fun to see what you turned it into. I really want to go to London Comic Con this year but we're not free that weekend sadly. Boo! x

Whitney H said...

The fact that I never went to Dragon con when I lived in SC is haunting me t this day! I'm so angry about it! We got married on the same weekend as SDCC so I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to go there for our anniversary one year!

Katie OhToFeelPretty said...

I'd love to go to DragonCon and LFCC. LFCC is more realistic for me, being a Brit, but crikey are trains and accomodation expensive down south!

Melissa (Eris) said...

There's a London Comic Con?! I need to go to this : )

Meghan Sullivan said...

London Comic Con - heck yes! And I'm dying to head to Atlanta for DragonCon at some point.

Megan Gotch said...

I adore the US version! If you can't tell! LOL Sam Witwer is my biggest man crush! xx

Megan Gotch said...

DW convention in DW world?! PERF! xx

Megan Gotch said...

I never know where I'm gonna be in a YEAR so it's always difficult for me to purchase a ticket...next year! LOL xx

Claireabellemakes said...

I definitely want to do London again this year, so much fun!

Mindy Nickel said...

Oh, London Comic Con would be a blast! SDCC and Dragon Con are both on my wishlist too :)
