Hello everyone I hope you are doing well unfortunately for the past several days I have been extremely sick that is why this post is coming out so late but I have been a lot better now and was able to get to writing this post. This post will only contain part of my experience at the Comic-Con I had gotten so much photos and a few videos that I will need to make a separate post 4 the Comic-Con alone so for now I'm just gonna give you a nice brief detailing of the the day I attended it I do wish I had attended all four days but unfortunately by the time I have learnt of it nearly all the tickets have been sold out me and my friend actually got the very last two tickets for Friday. So I was very thankful that I found out at just the right time to get those last tickets the event was great I had so much fun this was the first time in my life I had ever attended a Comic con due to previous years not having the money to do so but buying the ticket was just a small taste of the amount you would need to actually fully enjoy this event I was shocked at some of the prices that I saw there but I also expected it at the same time because most of the stuff there has come from overseas and lots of the people who have stills had also come with it for example there was one still there that's old a whole bunch of different sweet, drinks and other edible items where a single can of a energy drink costed over R250. And I had decided that next year I'm definitely going to be saving up a lot more and finding out sooner when this event starts so I can try and go for the full weekend ticket 🎟️ the price is very very high for me due to the fact I am currently unemployed and my film work is not going too well.
But let's not worry about that for now what we really want to talk about is the event. So much happened there with hundreds of cosplayers and over 100 stalls and there's just on the first floor which was known as the pop-culture area there was a second floor for the Comic-Con that was the gaming floor for people to go and play all their card games as well as PlayStation games Nintendo games Xbox games and many others. They even had a Call of duty tournament my friend wanted to enter but unfortunately didn't have the R200 to put down so he plans on definitely join again next year. As I said earlier I had videos and pictures I will be releasing two videos later one of the pop culture floor and one of the gaming floor both of these videos will be in the later post as well as all of my photos that I took with other cosplayers and yes I did also go dressed up unfortunately my costume was incomplete due to the time they had left after buying the tickets I was unable to finish making my costume or I could get down was my robe and mask as well as one claw but that seemed to be enough lots of people still wanted to actually have a photo with me. And here are a few of my favourite photos that I got on the day.
Well that is all for now about the comic con I will tell you more about each of the different costumes in the photos and the videos that I had taken as well as the different shops you will see in the videos when I make that post.
Moving on to Saturday on this day me and my friend decide to go to grandwest casino to go play a round of laser tag it was extremely busy this day so when we arrived at 11:30am and went to go book a ticket for laser tag we have to wait until 15: 00pm for our round so we decided to go to the casino and see if we couldn't try and win a little something while we waited me and my friend like to try and play roulette most out of all the different things they offer my friend got a lot of luck on this day I unfortunately did not luckily for me I am very controlled where comes to what I do at a casino I always go in with R100 and that is all I use if I manage to win something that is great but if I lose it, it is not such a big loss that it would do much harm this is one thing I've managed to get my friend to also do. I kept on going up and down in my wins and losses eventually at the end of the time when we have to start heading for the laser tag I had just lost R50 but my friend manage to get up nice R100 win he did have a lot more at one point but he unfortunately decided to carry on and try and get more which is how it goes and that's when it went wrong for him. After that I got contacted by my biological mother who asked if we could meet up I told her that I was currently at grandwest if that is okay with her and she said that is great she can just pop in there to meet up with me so after the laser tag match my friend went back home to go deal with hair stuff you need to do and I stayed at grand West to meet with my mother we decided to go and watch the new John wick film movie it was hilarious a very good action comedy I won't give any spoilers but I love the fights I couldn't stop laughing. And here's some pictures.
Our last lovely Sunday on Sunday morning me and my family went down to our local beach just to go have a little funtime and dip our feet in the water. The water had quite that she'll do it on this day but it wasn't as bad as it had been before. So I also took a few nice photos I was on the beach here they are.
After that we went home and unfortunately this is now where things went downhill for me after arriving back home on the Sunday I started to get extremely cold from the very core of my body and went completely week this started chain reaction with me and I was then bedridden until today I'm still not at 100% but I am slowly getting there.
Thank you very much for checking out this post and I hope you all had a lovely weekend as well and I hope you all enjoy the one that's coming up just as much I will try my best to get to editing those videos for the Comic-Con poster soon as I am able I hope your check it out as well once it has been completed.
