Hi guys! As you may know, I'm currently in Des Moines, Iowa attending Wizard World, thanks to Wikia. I'll be doing a blog post after each day, recapping some highlights, and a few after the event.

So here's day one!

To start the day, I got up early and spent the morning just getting from Columbus, OH to Des Moines. It's been over a decade since I've flown, so it was quite an experience! I met some cool people on the planes, and got to hang out in the HUGE Chicago O'Hare airport for a couple hours. They even have a yoga room!

When I got to my hotel, I was excited to find it decked out for the convention. They have cut outs, a video game station (the convention is having a few videogame tournaments) a selfie station (you can dress up like a superhero!) and some awesome punch. I was greeted with a package from Wikia, dropped my bag in my room and went right to the convention.

Even before getting to the actual event floor, I was able to see it from above. Holy cow, it was huge! It hadn't even been open for an hour when I got there, and it was already packed with people!

After getting my wristband (and a bag of WizardWorld swag!) I really just wandered around the event floor for hours. (Are you following @OUaTWiki on Twitter? I tweeted several photos of awesome people in costume!) There was just so much to look at! I didn't make it to any panels, I was so distracted by talking to people and taking pictures.

When I got back to the room, I was greeted with an awesome box of "nerd" snacks! Everything has been super cool so far!

I'll check in either tonight or tomorrow morning. There are some cool panels/speakers today, I can't wait to see them!
