Day one at NYCC was a great day!
Very rainy outdoors, but soon undercover. Then, waited in the human crunch for 45 minutes!
Finally, into the Crystal Palace of the Jacob Javits Convention Center! Amazing structure!
And, from a different angle!
Still a wee bit sparce on attendance first thing, but that will change soon!
I am told this lovely creature is from Carnival Row!
So elegant!
Another fabulous costume! Who is he? 🤷🏻♀️
Look at these wee lads! I love the cosplay! 🤗
Now, here is a costume everyone can get behind! 😉
From the front, just to be fair! 😜 Jack Sparrow I reckon?
A great Captain America!
Afternoon panel, Si-Fi for the screen with Dinesh Shamdasani, producer of Bloodshot, Sam’s new, yet-o-be-released film with Vin Diesel! An interesting discussion about issues adapting books/comics to screen.
One of the most interesting comments came from Denish! He commented that the best adaptations fulfill two major requirements! 1) faithfulness to the characters. Should avoid deviations! 2) faithfulness to the tone. By this, he meant how the story makes the reader feel!
I thought these were important insights in the the process of converting Si-Fi to film!
Attending the panel was a cosplay stand-in for the main character in Bloodsport, played by Vin Diesel!
A quick trip to Shake Shack for a pumpkin milkshake 😋 and back to the center to stand in line for StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City. Guests for the night’s panel were Charles Lui, astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History and a very funny comedian, Chuck Nice!
For this next hour, these funny men kept us in stitches as they compared the physics and biology of Star Trek to Star Wars (Star Trek won hands down!)
They discussed the different types of metals used by Si-Fi heroes such as Thor’s hammer, Wonder Woman’s bracelets, Wolverine’s claws, warp drive, and on and on. Great fun!
And, Dr. Lui is a walking encyclopedia about Si-Fi trivia! Awesome!
Loved this day!
The deeply grateful

Thank you and the cast of outlander for connecting with your fans. I would like to attend any of your public venues but not sure where to find your schedules? I do wish you would come to Austin Tx.
I did not believe I would like a time travel story or series, but discovered you by accident when recovering from a virus and binged the series. I got hooked💖
Your cast are amazing ambassadors and humanitarians on & off the stage. Something the world needs now✌🏼🤝😽
Hello Mary. Thank you for your splendid message. I am not affiliated with Starz Outlander. I write this blog as an independent. If you wish to contact Starz and follow their schedule, you might follow them on Twitter or FaceBook as they post sponsored events in these places. Good luck!
PS I never thought I would be interested in a time travel story, either. Boy, was I wrong! 🙂
