Stars Came To Philly Fan Expo

Stars Came To Philly Fan Expo

By Tevin Dix

I attended Fan Expo Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, this weekend.

This event was about movies, TV shows, anime, gaming, cosplay, autographs, celebrity photo ops and Q&A Panels.

Cosplay is when people participate in dressing up as characters from anime, video games, movies, tv shows and superhero comics. People literally dedicate themselves by spend a lot of money making their costumes from scratch to make it look like the real deal.

This was my first fan expo. I had so much fun at this event. I’ve taken so many pictures and there was a lot of great costumes. There was also a live wrestling show, so that was pretty cool. I got the opportunity to meet John Cena and Mel Gibson. Later that day, John Cena was on the panel and I had the opportunity to ask him a question.

But Cena and Gibson weren’t the only celebrities that attended Fan Expo. William Shatner was there as was Andy Serkis, Christopher Lloyd, Dolph Lundren, Danny Glover, Steve Guttenburg, Helene Hunt, Heather Graham, John Boyega, Giancarlo Esposito, Priscilla Presley and many others.

I had so much fun. I hope to do it again in the future.
