Phoenix Comicon '16 Day 2 (or technically, it's my first day at PhxCC)

In perfect world, this would have been my third PhxCC. However, I'm still grateful that I can come back to Phoenix Comicon because my first time left strong impression on me. I considered PhxCC to be one of my big 3 main cons. Other 2 are WonderCon and San Diego Comic Con.

Due to the schedule issues, I actually showed up at PhxCC immediately after 5 hours driving to Arizona. This drained my energy a lot but I try not to let this impact me greatly. It was good challenge for me. Also, I'm thankful to my mother's b/f for letting me staying with him. Much props to him.

Prior to PhxCC, I networked with Alex and Kyler to see if I can hang out with them. Both of them said yes so I was thrilling about it. It's always good to hang out with interesting people at quality con.

Light Rail station. Prior to this, someone gave me the day pass for free. I was stunned by this act of kindness. However, I had to sprinting to the station because the train was showing up.

Got off the Light Rail. So nice to ride with fellow con attendees.

I got into the line for reg. However, I was surprised by this because PhxCC is known for their smooth reg process. I ended up waiting in the line outside for 40 minutes while suffering 114 degrees weather. But I must give the credits to PhxCC for keeping the line moving at steady pace.

I was bit concerned for young kids. I gave one of my water bottles to this Deadpool kid cosplayer because he had a mask on the whole time.

Teemo! He managed to cheer me up during my time of suffering.

The line is getting bigger and bigger. I was hoping that no one would suffering too much in this weather.

Almost to the North Hall, where the reg area is located.

Finally, I'm in the reg area. Their reg system is kinda interesting. Bunch of volunteers were needed to process the reg quickly so I got my badge pretty fast.

Found out that the programs had run out. I texted Alex where he is since we had planned to meet up.

How nostalgic. Haven't been here in 3 years so it's nice to see this view again.

Dealers room! I just browsed around and texting Alex.

So many people here! More crowded than 3 years ago, that's for sure.

Group picture time!

"Uhhh, where are we going now?"

 photo 2016-06-03 13.54.54_zpsuew4iova.jpg

Gamora and Starlord. Right before this picture, couple of kids were walking up to Kylee just to hug her. I thought it was the most precious thing I've ever seen. The kids' parents took picture of them. So awesome.

"Witness us!"

Walking on 2nd floor now with Alex and Kylee.

So many people here on 2nd floor. When I first came here 3 years ago, this place wasn't even crowded at all.

RWBY group. It's pretty good stuff.

Food court. So crowded. Alex and Kylee went to get their food. I brought my own because it was cheaper. I don't wanna pay 6 bucks for slice of pizza that tastes so bland.

Enjoy the lunch time with Alex and Kylee.

Going to third floor now to meet up with Alex's friends.

I walked out of that door and was like...... NOPE NOPE NOPE and went back in.

Spider-Gwen! I recently read Spider-Gwen comics and I really enjoyed it a lot.

Spider-Gwen with Spider-Man. I find it cool that they're real life couple.

Chilling with the group.

 photo 2016-06-03 15.25.44_zpscuwgdhpp.jpg

Yeah, I don't really want to step out in this heat.

 photo 2016-06-03 15.52.09_zpsgfa0zyxm.jpg

Nice view of Phoenix downtown.

 photo 2016-06-03 17.02.09_zps8wlmuy4b.jpg

This area is called Con of Heroes. But for me, this is basically 2nd dealers room. I find it fascinating that this is on third floor. But mostly, this area deals with autograph area and photo shoot stuff.

 photo 2016-06-03 17.02.15_zpsckaw1xvc.jpg

It's pretty much the dealers room, in my opinion.

 photo 2016-06-03 17.08.02_zpsxwaqeers.jpg

Gamora pwned Greedo, no doubt about it.

 photo 2016-06-03 17.08.32_zpsxt5da2mi.jpg

LOL at Alex.

I bid farewell to Alex and Kylee. Need to go now. But man, walking outside really sucks.

 photo 2016-06-03 18.04.23_zps6ilanzxl.jpg

Light Rail station. Sooooo hot. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long.

Today was pretty good day. It was bit grueling but I really enjoyed myself a lot. I want to thank Alex for making today a great one for me. He da real mvp.
