Tampa Bay Comic Con 2015 Photos and Review

It seems the two options for this Convention is HOT as the Human Torch or WET as Aquaman!
Here is a photo of the forming line on Friday @8 A.M from the 16th floor of the hotel! It got MUCH longer and Saturday (and early Sunday) these con goers were in the pouring rain!
This convention is ALWAYS packed and seems to struggle a bit with proper signage for where things are located. (The security for this convention...That's an entire different and negative review!)
Roxy the Rancor was at the convention this year!
So, we are taking photos at the booth and the gentleman running the area asks if I wanted to use this prop. It was a HUGE bone almost as big as me! I laughed and said "No Thank You, that thing is Huge!" When from about two people behind him there was a deadpool waving a bone at me saying "you can use MY bone" and I say "Oh! Look at that cute little bone!" When he says "HEY NOW!" And his friend says "she called your bone little" so I quickly respond with "I mean, that's a perfectly adequate sized bone!" I thought Emerald Dee was gonna LOL to tears. What made it so funny is I never seen the guys face because...well deadpool! It was his body language that made it so funny! I didn't mean to insult the man's bone size @.@
Catwoman is tired of messing around! I'm thinking of hiring Boba Fett as one of my henchmen!
Got my dental check up while at TBCC and I'm all good! With Emma Rubini
Jack Skellington!
Princess Leia bought my Starwars tote bag!
These Killers aren't Clowning around! Chamber of Terror
The new corset I picked up for my future Cosplay as the "Red Queen" from Hellfire club. I bought it from Black Rose Corsetry.
I have to say it's the con goers that make TBCC worth attending for me. It's like a family reunion inside a sea of distant relative geeks and gamers! I had an amazing time talking with friends from online getting to know them more and meeting new faces too! I didn't get in one line! Not ONE! I didn't do any of the Q&A's or photo opts or Autographs etc. I worked the booth Friday and Saturday. Friday night after the vendor floor closed I went with my hotel mates to the Karaoke room, we went and did the "Time Warp" at the Rocky Horror Picture Show" room which was spilled out into the hallway packed and we watched the Geek Jeopardy type trivia match. Then, Saturday night I had an amazing time being escorted to "The Castle" for the first time since 1994/95 for the Charity after party. We met up with the classic 66' bat crew and laughed/danced the night away enjoying the Super Burlesque show! We cheered on the ever so lovely Claire (Tampa's Wonder Woman) from the front stage! I highly suggest you go like her page because she IS wonder Woman reincarnated! A FANtastic time was had!
Sunday was my chill day. No Cosplay just out on the floor as my geeky self (Even though I got a ton of "I love your Riddler cosplay" comments, it's just a dress I wear all the time LOL!
My Daughter, Her future husband and his little brother joined us Sunday to try and catch Carrie Fisher's Autograph but sadly that fell through. We all still had fun walking the floor and looking at/buying a few new things. Emerald and Derrick played games in the awesome game room Sponsored by the fine folks of Armada Games while I took Terry up to search for some comic loot! Then we all enjoyed a tasty lunch at "Precinct Pizza"
A special Shout out to all you who made this event a memorable one! Especially Elizabeth, Brian, Evan, Nick, Valerie, Emerald, Derrick, Terry and The Classic 66' Bat crew (I'll keep your secret identities safe!)
Now, it's time to rest and get back to normal until October!
