Ah yes, the time of year where cosplayers are frantically finishing costumes they started two days ago for a con in a weeks time. The time where we round up all money favours people owe us in order to spend money on fanart and merch. And the time when the city groans at the fact that yes, once again we shall be taking over the trains and trams.
This weekend (6th&7th July) Melbourne will be hosting the second year of Oz Comic Con. Many people are hesitant as last year there were extremely long lines, crowded areas everywhere and lots of confusion. Not so good eh?
However! This year OCC has moved to a new venue! The Royal Exhibition building, near The Melbourne Museum will be hosting this large affair of comic book lovers and cosplays.
Personally I can't wait, I'll be doing cosplay shoots, selling aprons and prints, and hanging out with my friends!
Can't make it to Comic Con? No worries, within the next few months Australia will also be hosting:
- AVCon (in Adelaide, 12-14th July)
- SMASH! (in Sydney, in August 10th)
- Manifest (in Melbourne, 16-18th August)
- Armageddon Expo (in Melbourne, 19-20th October)
So get your comic on and come down this weekend for a adventure of a time!
