Day 2: Thunder-Thunder--Thunder--Thunder Cats Ho!
For Day 2 I decided to take the BART with my little brother, Jay. It was a pretty quick ride, about an hour and it let out right inside the Westfield mall in SF, which is right next to the Moscone Center. Upon arrival I noticed a much larger amount of people in attendance. On the downside that meant it was a lot more crowded, but on the upside that meant there were a lot more awesome costumes.
I get in and start wandering the floor by myself trying to plan out the items I want to buy. I came in with a set amount of cash and I was determined to leave with my wallet empty...and I pretty much did. I spent most of my money at the Graphitti Designs booth where I bought the WonderCon shirt, 2 Green Lantern Rings, a Green Lantern shirt, and a Monroeville Zombies shirt. I also picked up a belated birthday gift for my friend in Artist's Alley. It was a beautiful piece of art by artist Britney Lee (http://britsketch.blogspot.com/). I couldn't leave WonderCon without buying a few figures so instead of my usual Bleach figures I picked up a couple of MegaMan ones. If you've never bought a Japanese figure like this before, from what I can tell it seems like they treat them like trading cards. You buy a box and you don't know which figure you're getting. I was fearing ending up with Roll, but luckily I got MegaMan X and Bass. Not bad at all. I also picked up a Lion-O figure which looks pretty wicked.
After all was said and done I was still in the mood to do some shopping. I went online and bought 3 awesome Bishoujo Statues via Amazon. Check them out:
Well that's about it for WonderCon. I don't have enough energy to make it on Sunday but be sure to check back here when I write about my experience at my first ever Comic Con in San Diego in July. Peace.
