Cosplay and commodities and celebrities, oh my! FanX is an extension of Comic Con — a gathering of geeks from all realms to celebrate everything that makes nerds great. I had the great privilege to attend my first “con” on March 17-18. I walked in with my Leonard Nimoy t-shirt and a dream. I walked out with wonderful memories and way too much merchandise.
My first steps into the Salt Palace Convention Center were confident but I was soon awestruck. Surrounded by geeks of every kind — anime lovers, classic comic fans, gamers (tabletop and video) and even a “John Oliver” cosplayer — there were no limitations.
