So, want the Comic-Con experience but don’t have the money to get to San Diego? No worries. Los Angeles/Pasadena has you covered Memorial Day weekend with the inauguration of the Los Angeles Rock’n Comic Con 2010.
The weekend long convention (May 28-30) is put together by FAME LA and Animation Ink, in an effort to support the animation, arts, music and film industries. The weekend will be a celebration of comics, gaming, concerts, performances and special guests. One of the biggest highlights in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, done by the king of comics himself STAN LEE, CREATOR OF MARVEL COMICS, EXCELSIOR!!!
No, not me. The real one, I swear.
Like many conventions, there will be booths, celebrities, cosplayers and goodies galore. But what’s interesting about this convention is that it will also have several musical performances (hence the “Rock’n” portion of “Rock’n Comic Con”). A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama, When in Rome and The Hotels will just be some of the bands in attendance.
Other highlights include a panel of famous femme fatales (drool!), a Star Wars light saber battle re-enactment (take that, Civil War!), Cosmic Play Girls in superheroine costume (drool again!) and panels on sci-fi, horror, voice-overs and special FX.
Plus, the co-creator of the Ren & Stimpy theme song will be there. I’m sold.
You can find more info and get tickets from their website, www.rockncomiccon.com. I should know shortly if I will be making an appearance at the Con, so I will let you know in case you want to come say hi or glomp me.
Summer is a good time for conventions, so I will keep you posted of any more I see on the horizon, especially any I will be attending. You know I will be hitting up “the big one” in July. But until then, I think this would be a nice, fun Comic Con to attend, especially for the Memorial Day weekend. EXCELSIOR!!!
