NYCC 2019: The Good The Bad 411

Published

on

Next week is the annual party in New York City where the comic con runs all night long. Reedpop’s New York Comic Con hits the Javits Center on October 3rd to the 6th and there are some star studded events including the a Hobbits reunion from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and more.

There is some basic 411 you have to be aware of especially in the city that never sleeps.

The Jacob Javits Center is located at 429 11th Ave, New York, NY 10001. It is accessible through subway, bus lines and taxi/Uber/Lyft. Be aware that the front of the convention center is on a main street so traffic may make it difficult to drop off right in front of the building. You may want to arrange a spot across the street or a block away to avoid delays.

Always plan for alternate routes especially if you are staying out of NYC. Trains break down, Buses aren’t on schedule and this can make for a bad day.

The subway will take you a few blocks away from the center (its a bit of a walk) so make sure you are headed in the right direction. If in doubt, follow the scores of people walking with badges or costumes.

Badge pickup is in front and there is a bag search and security scan before you enter the show floor. As soon as you enter there is the lobby and then a mezzanine where you can go up and see a great view of the front of the con.  If you go up another floor, there is the Cosplay area where you can change into your costumes, repair, cosplay panels, and most important of all BATHROOMS!

The show floor hours are as follows:

  • Thursday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM*
  • Friday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM*
  • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM*
  • Sunday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

It’s advisable to plan ahead as panels do fill up quickly and if you intend on getting an autograph or photo op, they are paid. You can purchase one of these opportunities on NYCC’s webpage here: https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Guests/Buy-Autographs-And-Photo-Ops/

Some of the notable guests this year are Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, Sean Astin, and more. NOTE that photo ops and Autographs ARE SEPARATE OPPORTUNITIES. I made this mistake and ended up with less than I expected.

There is a food court with a good variety at convention prices. If you dare to venture out of the building, walk up one block from the center aned there are quite a few places with more variety.

Some of the panels are outside of the Javits Center. You may be traveling to one of the theaters or Madison Square Garden. Be aware that these places are NOT close and make some time for walking and standing in line.  If you can’t be there on time BE EARLY.

 

Hope you enjoy this year’s con and we will be posting more info as we venture the halls!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
