The moment has arrived once again my friends, yes the New York Comic Con is back and taking over the Halls of an even larger Javits Center once more and its going to be the place to be overwhelmed with all things geek and pop culture related for the next four days. I’ll be in attendance once again and I am super excited about it as its my 14th straight year of doing so in the professional capacity. The safety protocols have subsided for those who were curious and that’s fine by me and while getting a signal out of the event space is usually a hassle, the organizers of New York Comic Con just recently announced they will be offering a new and powerful WiFi signal to their patrons. This will surely need to be strong since last year there were more than 200K people in the venue. In 2022, I shared a lengthy “Convention Guide” to our YouTube but this time around I did a Short clip which you can perfuse by clicking HERE. The Short leads to that original longer video but that clip is a bit outdated at this point. I think this brief gets to the general point fast enough and as I pen these words I wonder what you bring along to events like New York Comic Con. Feel free to let me know in the comments. As you read this you should know that I am actually already heading to the convention in a hope of getting there when the doors open. As soon as I get through their very thorough security and bag check I have to get myself in gear and start exploring. What time do you generally like to get to an event like this? Sometimes earlier is not better since the line to get into the Javits can be incredibly long.
