If you’re brand-new to our web-based publication then let me tell you just how much I love hitting the comic book and science fiction conventions that take place in New York City. Not only has PiercingMetal been a regular media attendee for the massive New York Comic Con, Anime NYC and Toy Fair conventions for many years but we also lend the love to smaller scaled events like the Big Apple Comic Con, Five Points Festival and the Winter Con which is actually taking place this weekend and is the reason for this announcement. Let’s focus on a couple of points shall we.
So What’s WinterCon??? According to their own promotional efforts its “The LARGEST Sci-Fi convention in the NY area! Held annually at Resorts World NYC. Wintercon is a large expo that hosts celebrities, creators, fans and vendors from TV, movies, books, cosplay, comics, gaming, collectibles, anime and so much more!” Though I have not been in attendance for a few years I can confirm that its an entire floor of the casino so make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes.
Where Is It? The Convention will be held at the Resorts World Casino and the location is tagged in our listings so click HERE for the exact geography and how best to get there. I usually take the MTA as that leaves me within a couple of blocks.
Who Should I See? I know that I’ve said this before about this and pretty much every convention that I’ve written about and truth be told you should really try and see as many people as possible. Maximize your convention experience. Now last time around I shared two Instagram posts from 2021 adventures that feature both Barbie Chula and the always lovely Miss Cheng. Since I liked those particular visuals I am using them once again so I hope you don’t mind the repeat. These will also hopefully spark your attention to our Gram profile where thousands of images await you. Back to who should I see, I always love stopping by the table of Keith Williams and Larry Hama and don’t let me forget Nelson DeCastro. There are so many more but these are folks that I always manage to chat with when I run into them. Since I don’t know what vendors will be there I cannot guide you any further.
Will You Be In Attendance:As much as I hate to tell you this, it doesn’t look like I will be attending this one since I pitched my interest and didn’t hear back on it at all. Trust me that happens sometimes and with this particular event there is no lengthy media submission forms to fill out and you instead end up using a central email address. After working in IT for a number of years I can tell you that such things get overrun with every single inquiry possible and finding the most important ones becomes a chore. I do hope many of you in the readership audience manage to get there and have a good time. Be sure to chime in down below in the comments section to let me know how it was since I cannot join you.
