Last week I attended Walker Stalker Chicago. I had a killer time, in fact, I think it’s the most stress-free con I’ve ever been to. Mad props to the organizers of this event, people are definitely keeping people happy. What made this seriously epic was hitting the con with my bestie Shelley. We all had so much fun and so much to share. Shelley wrote all about the con itself. So check out her article on that if you’re planning to attend next year.
There were tons of highlights, more than I can count really. For one, I love that the organizers didn’t cheese out on space. It’s like night and day chumping your way through a cattle drive vs. enjoying a comfortable stroll. Another thing I really like about this con is they have so many celebrities you can actually make your way to all of them. Lines (compared to some other cons) are fast and you can get a picture for under $50.
Let me be the first to tell you, one of the weirdest (and funniest) highlights was becoming the proud recipient of a red paint money shot (of the head-to-toe variety) from celebrity artist Rob Prior, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A super big thanks to the Comic Book Men who cleaned me off like a toddler after breakfast. Fun fact, I left the paint on my Chuck Taylors, as my little souvenir. Moral of the story, don’t stand close to Rob Prior when he’s jamming out and painting.
