This weekend I went to NYCC for the first time in my life. It was very fun and very odd, masses and masses of nerdlings all dressed up as their favorite characters. This made me want to do an interview with someone from purchase who went before, luckily after searching for quite some time I have found one such person.
Me: Tell be about yourself
Vincent: My name is Vincent Caracciolo, I’m a junior here at purchase college, and I’m trying to get into the VA next semester for drawing and painting so hopefully that goes well, otherwise my life is pretty desolate
Me: so YOU attended New York comic con? Right?
Vincent: yes
Me: good because that’s the premise of this interview, you attended it when?
Vincent: Last year.
Me: from what days
Vincent: i went….firday and saturday.
Me: Cool, did you have a costume or did you just walk around
Vincent: I just walked around, but at comic con I bought this um kimono jacket thing and i had my totoro backpack so I was repping something
Me: what is the experience that is comic con? Like what was your “I’m at comic con! moment”
Vincent: The population and the population of the specific culture. not even culture…just a lot of things that people share in common in a more nerdy ascetic AND its more relate-able because were all excited about each other’s cosplays and everyones excited about the panels and people and games that are there.
