Over the past few weeks, I saw numerous Facebook ads for this Fanfest, so I decided to attend. When I bought the tickets online, I was sent a QR code with instructions to look for the Will Call window at the Javits Center. When I arrived this morning, I had to wait 45 minutes in line to show my QR code and get a badge to attend the show.
Much of the show was devoted to vendors selling collectables, especially baseball cards. I haven't collected baseball cards since I was a kid growing up in Rego Park. There were many activities for kids, such as hitting a baseball, kicking a soccer ball, and throwing a football. Sports stars were available for autographs. We just bought two New York Mets t-shirts.
It was very crowded and noisy. I was likely the oldest person there. We stayed for about 3 1/2 hours, but there were few places to sit. I left the place very tired.
