I spent this weekend at the first ever Indy Pop Con – and boy, was it a blast! Even with only going for two days, I still found lots to explore and had tons of fun!
Now, you might recall my experience with Indiana Comic Con – disorganization, crammed halls, long lines, and way too many people showing up on Saturday for the convention to handle. Well, Pop Con was the opposite (except for the amount of people on Saturday – but I’ll elaborate on that later)! First off, picking up badges was a breeze – Ross and I had preregistered for the con, and went in with our “tickets” (a QR code printed onto a sheet of paper), which we exchanged for an actual, proper badge. There were different badges for the different types of guests: 3-day badge holders got sturdy cardstock badges, while guests of honor, vendors, VIP guests, and Kickstarter backers got nice plastic badges, all with different images on them. I loved how quickly we got in and out of line, and out to explore the convention!
There’s a lot to cover about Pop Con, so take a look after the break and see the highlights of the convention!
