Emilie and I attended Walker Stalker Con last Saturday, which was held at the Westin hotel on Bostons Waterfront in the Seaport district. It was our second year in a row attending - our newly established tradition.
We had a good time but unfortunately it wasn't as good as last years. There weren't as many celebrity guests this year, alas. Seemed like there were more tweens this year too, and weird looking people. Present company excluded of course...
The other aspect of this event that I dislike and disagree with is how this organization uses the fame and notoriety of the show to take advantage of it's viewers. This includes the celebrity guests too. The show pushes meet-and-greets with celebrities, picture taking including selfies, after parties, etc. all with exorbitant prices and all cash only. The layout and organization of the event could also use an overhaul, with event staff more aware of their roles and responsibilities.
However, all that being said my daughter is a Walking Dead fan and we've begun a tradition that, I guess we'll see through.
