Hanging With Hasbro at the Pre-NYCC 2013 Party

Last weekend was the big New York Comic Con. I’ve attended a few in the past, even with the kids in tow. This year, however, it crept up on me, plus we were pretty booked up for the weekend anyways. But I still did get my geek-fill right before the show started last Thursday. I was invited to a special Pre-NYCC party on Wednesday night, hosted by Hasbro. Yes, blogging has its privileges.
