Hey hot geeks & geekettes, it's yo boi, The Geekpin. I was out in New Jersey doin' it real major with the producers of the largest pop culture event in New England, at their newest pop culture shindig- Contropolis New Jersey! Held at the Meadowlands Exposition Center, Contropolis NJ is the third and final Contropolis of the year. It was good running
into peeps I know such as Groundbreaking
Comics, Joe Rock, Nikkol Jelenic, and
Dante Basco. I am sad I didn't get to party
with him. Outside of some of the cool panels
(Marvel, Then and Now & The Legacy of
Avatar and Korra) and Geek Speed Dating,
I really like how this convention has a
Sensory Reduced Room for people with
anxiety. My other favorite thing about this
convention was them serving alcohol 💕💕.
Speaking of panels it was kinda weird and
​interesting to see Tiktokers host a panel
about how they became relevant but this is the world we live in now. So far out of all the Contropolis shows this year this one had the best guest lineup. Also, it wasn't difficult getting sigs and having a chance to talk to your favorite celebrity and creator. Outside of
seeing David Yost and Lou Ferrigno the highlight for me was
meeting Judith Hoag and Gigi Edgley. Not bad for a first-year
convention. The staff and security were great and the exclusive
comics were cool too. My only gripe is I wish they had more
comic book vendors. I look forward to attending more of these
shows. Speaking of more shows, the lovely host Altered Reality
Entertainment has these upcoming cons for those who would like
to attend...RHODE ISLAND ANIME CON, COLORADO SPRINGS
COMIC CON, TERROR CON MASSACHUSETTS, and the one
I'm looking forward to the most RHODE ISLAND COMIC CON!
