This weekend we headed to the Garden State Comic Fest.  This was our first Jersey Con and and we found yet another great group of diverse cosplayers, attendees and the organizers did a great job.

Some people comment that they sometimes don’t feel safe at these events however police and staff presence where not lacking at Garden State Comic Fest.  The Fest felt like a big reunion with everyone having a great time.

Although the guest list did not include many famous names it did  included Arlen Schumer, Ming Chen, and even K.I.T.T from Knight Rider along with a number of well known cosplay guest.  The costumes where amazing the crowd were enjoying themselves and we are glad we actually made it to the Fest.

Traveling to the fest was another story we were sent on and off highways, into suburban areas and even ended up having to cross over the GWB which we avoid like the plague, google map did not make the trip easy.  Travel aside we really enjoyed the event and look forward to attending Garden State Comic Fest 2016.
