Wizard World Texas is coming to life. Click here for pictures straight from the convention floor!
By Brett White
After months of planning, gallons of coffee, bags of Doritos and stacks of comics (we have to keep ourselves entertained somehow!), Wizard World Texas is finally upon us. The first wave of the convention crew, of which I am a part of, is in the Arlington Convention Center getting everything set up. Now we're giving you a sneak peek at the progress being made right now. Think of this as the teaser trailer to the big blockbuster event that is...WIZARD WORLD TEXAS.
This here's the Wizard Booth where you'll be able to get comics signed by Guest of Honor John Cassaday as well as Arthur Suydam, Rags Morales and many more. The Wizard Wheel of Doom will also be going for periods during the convention, so get your spinning arm warmed up!
Here's are small portions of the show floor...
...the autograph area...
...a few rows of the sold out artist alley...
...and the ticketing area.
There's also a big mechanical dinosaur on the floor. Not sure what that's all about, really hope he clears out before the con starts.
All this prep is hard work, especially when you're still stuffed from a big Mexican food dinner from the night before. Seriously, never eat an enchilada as big as your arm and don't even TRY eating two of them. Here are just a few of the hard workers hard-at-work.
Here's Programming Director Adam in the show office, either sending someone a Jawa action figure on Facebook or working. You decide!
Kate's busy getting things together at the registration booths. If you're press, a pro or an exhibitor, give her a high five and a smile. She deserves it!
Here's Jodie fielding all sorts of last minute floor expansions. The show is packed with all sorts of comic/spooky goodness!
And here I am doing something super important. Seriously, I'm not goofing around with a crate AT ALL.
There'll be more updates throughout the weekend now that I figured out how to text message photos. Come on out to Wizard World Texas, starting tomorrow!
