Last weekend I was in Philadelphia for the Wizard World comic convention. It was my first convention ever and it was pretty awesome. I loved it. I was able to completely nerd out the whole weekend.

I don’t really know that much about comics (although I plan on getting there, I have a stack of six graphic novels to get through, I’ll get back to you on those), but I am a pretty giant Star Wars nerd, so it was pretty awesome seeing stormtroopers up close and personal.

I went to a couple of the panels with eD!, he liveblogged them over there. I was sitting there trying really hard to listen, but not understanding anything and not getting it at all when the whole audience burst out laughing about something someone said about some obscure character I’ve never heard of. Oh well!

Then there is the Klingon Hunting. Klingon Hunting is the act of hunting down those at comic conventions dressed up as characters from anything (not just Klingons), and it is incredibly fun! We also then came up with a subsect of that called Klingon Hugging, which involved me hugging Klingons. I was able to have a group hug with four stormtroopers, I hugged Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Iron Man, a Transformer, a guy from Gears of War, and possibly some others. Once I obtain all of the pictures and videos from the other people who were with me I will most certainly post them.

We had such an awesome time there that we might be heading to Wizard World in Chicago at the end of this month, but we all have to check our wallets and see what’s going on in that aspect of our lives first.
