Fans of ics, gaming, cosplay and more have a blast at StocktonCon
Aside from Halloween, a pop-culture convention is about the only place you’ll see the likes of Capt. America rubbing shoulders with an entire family of Dragon Ball Z
characters.
Such was the case early this month when the third annual StocktonCon was held at the Stockton Arena.
StocktonCon is a convention that spreads pop culture to attendees of all ages. As families made their way in, dedicated gamers, ic and anime fans showed off their
cosplay costumes.
In the lobby were a variety of vendor tables, selling ic-book-based items such as board games and action figures. There also were tables set up for family members to
sit and draw ics together!
Inside the packed arena, artist booths displayed magnificent artwork, and various items were sold throughout the arena. ic-book collectors purchased ics and artwork
from exhibitors. Anime fans got the chance to purchase merchandise from all of their favorite titles. “Attack On Titan” anime wall scrolls were popular, along with
Hatsune Miku dolls and plushies.
Enochs High School student Pier Kang said he was excited about seeing the cosplay. “I like to watch a lot of anime, and it was interesting to see all these cosplayers
dressed up.” Pier himself cosplayed as a ninja from “Naruto.”
Outside the Arena, StocktonCon hosted Q&A panels with speakers. Among one of them was the voice-acting crew of the world’s most-played video game, “League of
Legends.” Voice actors included Erik Braa (Draven), Doug Boyd (Twitch), Gavin Hammon (Varus), Rashida Clendenin (Karma), Cia Court (Vi) and Adam Harrington (Shaco).
Hosted in the University Plaza Hotel Ballroom, the panel talked about life as voice actors and what it was like acting for “League of Legends.”
“It takes talent, persistence and time,” Boyd said. “It just takes time. If you have talent but you don’t wear out your shoes and knock on doors and market
yourself, you won’t get anywhere.”
Braa shared similar advice. “It just takes time. If you want to do anything, do it for 10,000 hours – odds are by then, you’re a professional. Find a way to record,
go in, and just record, record, record. Listen to yourself. Try different things, create new characters. Live and breathe at that character.”
Clendenin added: “I think that you have to decide. If you want to bee a voice actor, decide and don’t let anything stand in your way.”
San Joaquin Delta College student Danielle Broadway was inspired by the “League of Legends” panel. “I’m interested in the professional voice-acting world. It a
very private, closed-off career, so for people to share what they know is a huge opportunity,” she said
StocktonCon was a fantastic family event. Specialists shared their stories and experiences, and friends and family got to experience the pop-culture world firsthand.
It’s definitely something to look forward to next year!
The next pop-culture convention in the region will be Sac-Anime, being held at the Sacramento Convention Center on Friday through Sunday. For more information, visit
