Today's the day! Time to head out for Popcon. Okay, checklist: suitcase, room reservations, cosplay outfit, I think that's about it. Time to hit the road.
Wow. Indianapolis. I've never seen a place like this before. The city is breathtaking. Growing up in a small town, you don't exactly see buildings this tall or statues everywhere. You can't even find words to express the excitement of all of this.
You decide to head over to the hotel first to check in. Plus the convention doesn't start for another hour. You move your suitcase in an get your cosplay ready, well what you consider cosplay. It's actually just a Sims plumbob attached to a headband. You knew it was really simple but still loved it and hoped everyone else would too. You look at the clock, only twenty minutes left, time to head over.
You arrive at the convention center, just the sight of it makes you want to scream. After parking you walk to the front doors. This is it. My first convention ever. You open the doors and are complete overwhelmed by the atmosphere. It's incredible. So many people in costumes, some of which you don't know the reference to but a lot you do. You turn left and see a long line. You ask a woman at the end what the line is for. She tells you it's for tickets. You already have your tickets you just have to exchange the receipt for the pass. You walk down the hallway to see if you can see what's at the beginning of the line. This line is huge. Finally you see a small foldable table where the line comes to an end. Oh. My. God. Is that?? No it can't be. I'm seeing things. There's no way this can be real. It's a meet and greet session. Those people at the end of the line are going to be very surprised when they expected to get tickets but end up meeting JackSepticEye.
You stand on the other side of the hall and just stare. Then think it seems kinda creepy, so you walk back up to the doors. He's actually pretty short in person. That's so cool. You decide to go get your ticket first then come back and get in line. The ticket station was completely empty. Everyone must be meeting Jack first. You exchange your printed paper for a plastic 3-day pass on a lanyard. It's official. You're in.
