November 2nd 2013: Visiting the Rhode Island Comic-Con

Today, I had a Bronze Pass to go to the Rhode Island Comic Con, held at the Dunkin Donuts Convention Center in Providence RI. After arriving, I saw the line had already formed. Having a Bronze Pass, I thought I could bypass the line, heading all the way to the entrance past everyone else. As it turned out, the entrance for Bronze people was on the other side of the building, and I had to walk all the way back to get there. After signing in and getting my free poster,

I entered from the second floor, where the crowds were only starting to gather.
There were a few familiar vehicles on display in the outside area.
Inside the exhibition hall, there were several interesting things on display.
Of the many celebrities that were here, including the Power Rangers, the only one I could still recognise after so many years was Winston from the Ghostbusters.
It was also interesting to see a live crocodile and other reptiles inside the exhibition hall.

Other than that, the exhibition was a collection of vendors selling their wares and artists promoting their work, and of people in costumes milling around. I don't know why, but it doesn't quite appeal to me. With that, I headed back into Massachusetts, where I had a dinner with friends in Cambridge later. You can read more about it here.
