Chapter 987： Comic Con

The 2010 Golden State Comic Con is already the 41st since its inception. Some of the photos released before have attracted the arrival of countless people with lofty ideals, and Olsen is one of them.

On July 5, two days before the event, Olson set off from his hometown of Clark County, Arkansas.

When he set off, he was full of expectations, because it was his first time to participate in the Golden State Comic Con, but he had seen some group photos uploaded by many other exhibitors on Facebook. In the photos, the atmosphere was just right, and he also learned from other The channel learned that this time, Hasbro will cooperate with Paramount to release the concept poster of the Chicago battle ("Transformers 3") and the participation of some other big manufacturers, and the other is the **** - last year, a sister paper cos The shape of the Maghar orcs of World of Warcraft, which he could not forget by swiping directly on Facebook, he wanted to go to the scene to experience this circle in person.

To say that this trip with some kind of expectation is really something that an introverted person like Olsen cannot resist.

In fact, he rarely goes out. The world is different. Mobile phones and computers constitute a new channel for receiving and expressing information. Every day at home, he does not feel disconnected from society. Itching, he did not want to run so far.

Maybe, this is the sense of ritual of otaku culture.

The wind is blowing, the sun is shining, a person is driving a car on the vast highway, the radio music melody played by the car stereo is so sweet, occasionally passing by the gas station, buy a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of happy water, and continue Proceed towards the destination.

After all, Clark County, Arkansas, where Olsen is located, is quite far from San Diego, California. If you don’t count the straight-line distance, it’s probably more than 1,700 miles away. Even in modern society, with a well-developed inter-city transportation network, it’s already counted. It's been a long journey, and I have to drive all day without sleep, and if it's on and off, it must be longer, so Olsen gave himself two days to arrange everything.

However, in terms of feeling, summer is actually a good time to travel. Although it is a little hot at noon, driving is not a problem in the morning and evening, and the weather is good, and rainy days are rarely encountered.

But even so, if it wasn't for the temptation of the comic exhibition, Olson would always feel that it would not be easy to go out this time, and he wanted to retreat.

Of course, he is stronger than the average person. Although he is not a rich second-generation, his family has a certain economic strength. He drives by himself, pays for the gas along the way, stays in a hotel at the comic exhibition, eats, and buys some interesting peripherals, etc. He can still afford similar expenses, except that driving is really tiring, everything else is fine.

When I got to the border of California, it was already the next morning, because I rested for more than 7 hours at the motel on the way last night, and my mental state was maintained well. Even the closer I got to San Diego, I met some people who were also participating in the exhibition. The more excited he is, the more likes he is, and some of the coser who have already dressed up.

Speaking of which, Jinzhou Comic Exhibition has increased the number of participants at an average rate of 5% in recent years. The house culture enthusiasts gathered here from all over the world can find some common topics, and because of the strong atmosphere, it is also It's very courageous, even if you don't know each other, it's still very interesting to chat.

Olsen made clear preparations in advance, found a hotel, booked a room and parked the car, and then he went to the meeting to get a ticket.

Jinzhou Comic Exhibition is divided into two types: full-time and single-day, but even if there is no admission ticket, the side event next to it is worth visiting. The latter is because the traffic volume in recent years is too large to receive, and the government has taken the initiative to help preside over the maintenance.

Of course, Olsen, who got the ticket in advance, must have entered the venue. Although the comic exhibition is not open, the window next to it has always been served, and the ticket stub can be used as the admission certificate.

He was lining up, and everyone around was chatting excitedly.

"I heard Columbia is going to remake Bruce Lee's first film, The Green Hornet?"

"It seems so. I saw Sony Music admit it the day before yesterday, and said there would be a mysterious surprise."

"Did Blizzard say there is a concept for a new game?"

"have no idea."

"Well, I'm quite concerned about the news of "How to Train Your Dragon". Paramount said that it will release a concept poster together with the third part of "Transformers" at the comic exhibition, looking forward to..."

Olson kept his ears open and listened until the crowd advanced and it was his turn to take the entrance card, and a volunteer lady with a small top hat next to him reminded him, "This should be kept, except for the membership fee. Check, go to nearby hotels, and buy things at the venue, there are discounts."

"Yes, yes." Seeing Miss Sister's smile, Olsen's heart thumped, and he looked back until he walked to the side.

Because the venue will officially open at 9:00 tomorrow morning, Olsen reluctantly walked around the venue and didn't see much interesting things, but the coser started to get together in this place, and all kinds of realistic costumes made him Dizzying Occasionally encounter a character you like, summon up the courage to strike up a conversation, take photos, and use photos to commemorate your journey is quite meaningful, but it is not boring.

Especially compared to reading some interesting things posted by others on Facebook in the past, it is a different feeling when a real person comes over.

How should I put it, no matter how the times develop, the sense of participation offline cannot be given online.

Looking at the gradually hot atmosphere around, full of elements of animation, games, movies, or various statues in one-to-one ratios, all give people a very comfortable atmosphere.

And this place is indeed a paradise for American house culture. During the rally, even the surrounding businesses have replaced many house elements. At noon, when Olson went to have a meal, he could see many listings posted around; buy a bottle Shui, the boss will ask him if he is coming to the comic exhibition.

At night, go back to the hotel you booked.

Olsen remembered what Miss Volunteer said when he received the admission ticket today. He just wanted to ask if the hotel has cooperated with the comic exhibition side. If not, he may only take out the voucher when he plans to change to another one. He smiled and said: "Are you also a person who participated in the comic exhibition? I'm sorry, our people are negligent. If you stay in our hotel during this period, you should enjoy a 15% discount on the room rate. Let me re-enter the information for you."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Olsen quickly took out his driver's license (in the United States, a driver's license is equivalent to an ID card), handed over the Golden State Comic Con ticket, and showed him the corresponding information and date.

Then, he was fooled into applying for a 5-day room rate package. After all, the merchants that cooperate with the comic exhibition are only profitable before they come to the door... The whole ticket, including tonight, is not only 5 The needs of the day...
