Been to a convention and want to talk about it?
Want to share your pictures of you (or fellow fans) dressed in costume, or share tips on costume making?
Have some tips about where to stay, where to go or what to do while you're taking a break from the con?
Post it or anything comic convention related here!

San Diego Comicon
Did anyone go to San Diego Comicon last week? I didn't... and am DYING to hear from somebody who did!! Show me pics, or tell me what you did?! Puh-leeeze!!
Here are some of my favorite costumes from past San Diego comicons:
As always, the lovely SHE-RA! OK, this was a professional costume, promoting the DVD, but it was brilliant because of the fan (I have no idea who this is) shown in this picture!! ROTFL!!
Then, there was this AMAZING costume of "Puss in Boots" OMG! I LOVE KITTIES! (note random person walking by willing to pose! Love con fans: always willing to help out!!) Also note that someone MADE this! This wasn't a store-bought thing... and the guy would have kneel down to make it look like the sad-eyed kitty! AWWWWWWWW!!
Now I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but this costume was AMAZING!! It was like 10 feet tall and looking at it, wondered if it really was a robot or not! Freaking amazing how someone figured all this out. I have enough trouble cutting holes out of a sheet!
Probably the "Hottest" costumes there was this double dose of shirtless beefcake: Aquaman and Prince Namor. Unfortunately, my incredible ability as a photographer only managed to snap a BLURRED image! AAAAGH!
and, of course, I was rubber-necking every time a guy passed by in a Wolverine costume.
"Thank You!", Hugh Jackman, for making cons full of guys trying to look like YOU! :)
*note that there are no pics of Jackman look-alikes because I was WAY to busy trying to put my eyeballs back into their sockets!
