Northeast Comic Con Ticket Giveaway

North East Comic Con

I really wish that I could attend the Northeast Comic Con on December 6th and 7th, but I work… Weekends… Overnight… Bleh. Doing anything fun on the weekend is tricky for me since I work, sleep, repeat. Being able to attend this event would be a lot of fun for both me and the kids. There are some fun workshops for the kids to attend and the event is a very family friendly one. There are workshops for artistic kids, active kids and gamer kids. Some very fun things for them.

I’d personally love to meet Nicholas Brendan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Xander was always my favorite character from the series, along with Willow. I also like his story and how he is a face for people who stutter. It would just be nice to get a chance to meet him.

There will also be a voice over workshop. I love voice over and would love to do something like that. I think that I would learn so much.

I’m giving you and your family a chance to go to the Northeast Comic Con in my place. I have TWO family four packs of tickets that you can win (see the Rafflecopter app below) and have a great time.

Video game fans will keep feet firmly on the ground and enjoy free video game play and tournaments with prizes.

The Shriner’s Auditorium Fez Room restaurant/bar will be transformed into the Kreature Kantina with food and beverages, live entertainment, pop culture Stump Trivia contests for Star Wars, Stargate, Dr. Who, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Disney fans.

  1. That first sentence looks an awful lot like the comment that I made. I work overnight…Weekends. I have to have time for sleep, so I can work again.

  2. Awesome! I would love to see Nicholas Brendon again. Met him at Comiconn in Bridgeport, CT and he is the coolest guy.

    1. I actually met him at RI Comic Con then saw him again at both Awesome Con DC and Comiconn in Bridgeport CT.
