NYCC - New York I had such a amazing first experience at Comic Con NYC
So I've been to cons before but this was my first time at comic con. I will say, it was extremely crowded. It was impossible to walk anywhere. But I ended up having a great experience. I went to get Matthew Lillards autograph table at 12 and we got in but were told he couldn't stay long cause he had photo ops (which I had reserved too). So when he had to leave at 12:50 a lot of us were still waiting so they gave us numbers and told us to return at 2:45. So I went and got my photo ops of him done. Unfortunately it was taken so quickly I didn't even get a chance to pose or smile (I was especially thrown off cause the group in front of me tried to stay and talk to him). Anyway when they printed the picture I hated how I looked. So I edited it on my phone and was planning to just print the edited one. So when I returned to his line to get his autograph I was gonna have them sign the cover instead. Well he asked about it and I explained I didn't like how the photo turned out. He looked at it and he didn't like to either. So he asked my sister if she had a phone, took my stuff from my arms, put it on the table, and had my sister take new pictures of us. He gave me a hug after and said he hopes these turned out better. I thanked him profusely. That was a moment I'll never forget.
