Hello again. In my
first post for 2016, I mentioned how I wasn't ready to review 2015 in full. This is because I got the opportunity back in October to cover all three days of the Wizard World Tulsa Comic Convention 2015 for a pop-culture website for women, PaperDroids.
Update - My full coverage has been posted at
PaperDroids blog - please read for coverage of all three days.

Day One - October 23, 2015
Before Wizard World Tulsa, my convention experience was
limited to the time I went about 8 years ago with my younger sister to a local
anime convention inside a halfway crumbling janky-looking mall, in the
pre-streaming anime days, when you had to buy dubbed DVDs from Sam Goody and
Borders. I went more recently with my
friend to Dallas Comic Con Fan Days for Saturday only, where I dressed up as a
casual Wonder Woman lugging around three to four merchandise bags at a time,
and not generally knowing how to do “hero poses” despite dressing as superhero. Would I be able to stand all three days of full blown
convention put on by Wizard World in a different city four hours away?
Day One, I got to the Cox Convention Center in Tulsa just as
the door were opening at 3pm. I didn’t
take a costume this time, preferring to dress comfortably, but I did bring a
back-pack with an empty water bottle.
The convention was nicely laid out, well-staffed and brimming with
excited volunteers. The building itself
is very pretty inside and it’s hard not to go “ooh” and “ahh” immediately as
you walk in.
