Disclosure – I received tickets to this event but all thoughts & opinions are my own.
Just a few hours ago I attended my first Comic Con. Today through Sunday at the Sacramento Convention Center, the Wizard World Comic Con Sacramento is taking place and you must go if you are into pop culture, comics or looking for a place to spot some celebrities.
Since I had never been to a Comic Con, I didn’t know what to expect. I did know that I definitely wanted to make sure I brought a camera with a full battery to take pictures and some spending money because I knew there was going to be plenty of things to buy.
Like fun colorful hats…
Or plenty of Captain America comics…
I got quite a few fun pictures of some of the people dressed in costumes at Comic Con.
I wouldn’t have had it any other way than to take a picture with Captain America and Ms. Marvel!
Not only is this a place that you can buy some cool stuff, there is also a variety of events, photo opps, Q&A’s, meet and greets and more! For instance there are rooms that you can play table top games as well as some fun video games for the gamers.
While I was at Wizard World Comic Con tonight I spotted a few celebrities. I first seen Henry Winkler who played Fonzie on Happy Days waiting to sign autographs and take pictures with his fans.
I also was lucky was able to take a picture with former Sacramento Kings player Vlade Divac. I have always been a fan of the Kings so this picture made my evening.
I also seen Jason David Frank from My Morphing Life/Power Rangers at the GeeksterInk Legends booth.
Jason got a tattoo tonight at Comic Con from Chris 51 from Epic Ink on A&E of his Tunnel Rats logo.
Although Jason was willing to take a picture with me, the guy in the black shirt wasn’t having it saying that Jason was BUSY so he smiled for the camera instead and was my photobomber for the night.
