Written by: Dr. Sarah HaniskoIt's never easy to wake up at 3am to travel, but for this particular event it was a little easier. I loved being a regular attendee last year, but this year I am attending as media and it's been a great experience to talk to many of the artists and authors who are here promoting their work. But to be honest, my favorite part of any con is people watching and sharing a community of fandom that is as good as family.I arrived early and had a great Lyft with Logan from Colorado. He dropped me at the Denver Hyatt which is just across from the convention center. I'm looking at Big Blue right now from the window as I write this.
Entering the Con was simple this year, the line was much shorter for media and vendors. The usual bag check and wanding went quickly and I was off to find a lanyard for my badge, as well as an ADA wristband due to various health reasons (I always wear my medical alert bracelet at Cons or big events due to my heart condition.) This proved to be a bit of an adventure so I ended up buying a cute Marvel lanyard and found the ADA bracelets later.The first thing I did at the Con was turn in my vouchers for the Critical Role autographs I purchased (I just happened to bump into an artist that I know from the Critical Role fan group we're in and we talked about our excitement to meet the cast - she'd met them before but still, it's exciting.)
