00:00Live long and prosper and all that good stuff. Welcome to Geek Con here in the Manus Centre
00:09in Wolverhampton over the course of this weekend. Anyone who loves Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters,
00:15anything to do with geek culture can come here and indulge themselves. There's a shop,
00:20there's exhibitions over there. I'm here with the event organiser, Laura Taylor. Tell us
00:24a bit about what's happening today.
00:26So it's a pretty neat event that we put on each year. This is our fourth year at Geek
00:30Con. So we have prop displays that people can pose at. We've got cosplayers, like UK
00:35Garrison, Central Legion. People can come up dressed up as well. We've got lots of geeky
00:40trainers and then we've got retro gaming and D&D sessions inside our community.
00:44It's all about engaging people within the idea of geek culture, isn't it?
00:47Exactly, yeah. So comic conventions are usually really expensive to attend, ÂŁ40, ÂŁ50, ÂŁ60
00:52for the tickets. So we've had to put on something a bit smaller but free for everyone to enjoy.
00:56And what's the reaction so far?
00:57It's really good, yeah. Every year it gets better and better. So I think people get to
01:01know about it and just really look out for everything.
01:04And what would be the biggest thing that you'd want people to see this weekend? What's the
01:08one thing you'd say, come and see this?
01:10I just want people to enjoy it and to realise that the centre does this sort of thing for
01:15free and that we've got all the shops and all the easeries to enjoy as well.
01:19What's your favourite? Star Wars, Star Trek or something else?
01:22Well, Wednesday's my favourite at the moment so that's why I requested the weekend.
01:26Very nice. Well, you've got all weekend to come down here. Come down, enjoy GeekCon and
01:31live long and prosper.
