My Happy Place

On the subway today, there was an ad about finding your happy place.  Of course, it was their way of convincing you to go to Aruba, but it still got me thinking.  What was my happy place?  What was the one place I was totally happy and at peace?  My answer surprised even me.  The convention floor.

I just love being on the convention floor, wandering through the booths and seeing all the people.  On the con floor, you get to be exposed to some many new things, all at once.  If you are bored, just turn around and look at something new.  Lonely on a line?  Just turn around and make a new friend.  It doesn't even have to be a comic con; I love any convention.  Just being there makes me feel excited and joyful.  I drive Wysefyre and Getsuyobi crazy days before a con, checking and double-checking info.  Even with all my preparation, I never know what I will see or who I will meet.  It is just the most fun a person can have, especially if you are me.

And yes, the jammed-packed floors and heavy bags killing my back do bug me a bit, just like the average person.  But I wouldn't trade them for the world, because being on the floor is still the awesomest place to be.  


So, are there any people out there that agree with me or am I just a crazy person?

Win an Aching Shoulder from NYCC!

That's right, we have a chance for three of you to win your very own aching shoulder, back and feet! Now, I know you are thinking, "How do you pack all that pain up and ship it to me?" That's a great question!

This is our second annual Con in a Bag giveaway! Since we spent so much time at NYCC, we saved some of the best giveaways for our readers and bagged them up. Three lucky readers will get bags stuffed full of anything that they might possibly get at NYCC. This includes comics, books, buttons, t-shirts and tons of random pieces of paper.

Each one of these is a New York Comic Con Exclusive Item!

Since this was our second year, we had to up the ante. Each bag will have a NYCC show exclusive that you can't get anywhere else! Plus, each bag has an autographed comic! Oooooh fancy!

I actually bruised my shoulder carrying all of this.  That's the mark of a good convention.

Each of our three winners will get two stuffed bags that they can throw on their shoulder, walk around and get the authentic con aching shoulder, back and feet.

We would like to thank some of the companies that made your physical pain possible by providing awesome stuff:
