Just to
remind you, Pyrkon is the biggest fantasy convent in Poland. It took
place in MTP (Poznań International Fair) and lasted from 18 to 20 May. And just as I mentioned above, it was amazing.
The first
day of Pyrkon is usually the one to buy a lot of stuff ‘you did not know exists but after seeing it you discovered it's something you desperately need’ as the
Epic Voice Guy had said himself. That was the case when my friends and I came
to the ‘Kraina wystawców’, which is a piece of paradise on Earth. To be honest,
if you plan to go there, you have to be ‘prepared’ very well. If you belong to
the fandom of a popular franchise, you won’t leave the place empty-handed. That's for sure. You can go there on the second or third day of Pyrkon as well;
however, the sooner the better as the best merchandise is sold out quickly. The
same day I saw him, the Epic Voice Guy. Listening to him copycatting Ryan
Reynolds and saying stuff in his amazing voice live was even more entertaining
than watching the Honest trailers.
For many
participants, me included, the second day is devoted to cosplaying, what might
go in pair with some sort of sacrifices (heavy, unconfortable costume, high heels, etc.). Two of my friends were cosplaying Clary
and Isabelle from the TV show called 'the Shadowhunters' based on Cassandra Clare’s novel. My costume
was related to the Mortal Kombat’s Kitana. We were having fun walking the streets dressed
like total weirdoes among other weirdoes and taking pictures with them. Wearing
our costumes we participated in lecture about Vikings looking for wives (pl. ‘Wiking
szuka żony’) and watched Pyrkon’s masquerade.
The third
and the last day was the quietest one. We spent just hours taking pictures with
amazing cosplays.
Now, we’re
making plans for the next year’s Pyrkon. I hope it’ll be as fabulous as it was now
in 2018.
