Wizard World Rocks Tulsa

What an amazing experience in Tulsa on Saturday, watching the throngs of people at Wizard World's Tulsa Comic Con in the Cox Business Center.

I got there early and watched the line that stretched well out onto west 6th street flow into the exhibit hall.



In fact the sold out crowd had grown so large that organizers had to open the convention 15 minutes early likely to avoid traffic problems.

I posted a video of the various fans making their way under the Wizard World banner.

The special event included a great group of people from across the state and around the region.

There were an incredible amount of people Cos Playing characters from a variety of genres.

Links from Legend of Zelda

A Star Wars Family

Jedi OKC

Doctor Who and Green Lantern

WWII Captain America and Bucky Barnes

The event included local artists and vendors:

Jerry Bennett of OKC

Tee Happy AKA Blue Box Tees

And, panels from local groups:

The Tulsa Doctor Who Viewing Society

Nerdy Girls of OKC and Tulsa

Saturday night's event ended with a performance by World of Warcraft Composer Jason Hayes and his video game tribute band Critical Hit.



And finally, the Cos Play Contest:





















































A big thank you to Wizard World for bringing the largest pop culture convention ever to Oklahoma.

Now we need to focus on getting something in OKC.

Do you have a favorite? Let me know in the comments...

Hey if you've got any more shots of us (the fallout group, blue jumpsuits) we'd love to get a copy.

I actually posted all the photos that I had. Sorry I didn't have more.

No worries, couldn't hurt to ask :)

To say that I am sad about missing this would be a massive understatement! I didn't even realize it was happening until it was over.

Make sure you mark your calendar for next year's comic con which lands the weekend before Halloween.
