While day one of our coverage could be described as being merchandise focused, day two was all about the people. The con was full of actors signing autographs such as Kevin Conroy from "Batman The Animated Series," Renee O'Connor from "Xena: Warrior Princess," and John Rhys-Davies from "Indiana Jones," "Lord of The Rings" and every other amazing franchise ever filmed.
Of all of the actors present, we were lucky enough to talk to royalty.
Meeting a Disney princess is exactly how you'd imagine it being. Linda Larkin, voice of Princess Jasmine, is gracious, charming, and abundantly sweet. I was surprised that she didn't recognize me from my dreams about her, but I'm too professional to let that singular disappointment taint the interview. We started off the day chatting with her about Cons, genie wishes, and "Wreck It Ralph 2."
After that we toured the grounds with James D'Amato of "One Shot Podcast" and "Campaign" fame. Being a pair of equally accomplished dungeon masters-- Equally. Accomplished.-- there was of course the expected friction. The decision was made to settle things with a cosplay contest; we found the best cosplayers we could and posed with them for Twitter posts. Whoever got the most "likes" by the end of the day was to be the winner, who would receive the honor of deciding how the loser must have their face painted at the face painting station!
Shortly after taking this picture with @OneShotRPG, we started a celebrity podcaster beef. We are now beefing. Stay tuned for #cosplayconquest pic.twitter.com/681kkT0yjR
