I went this past weekend to a DC comic, sci-fi, fantasy, pop culture convention that was its first annual. Hopefully they have it again next year as it was pretty fun. The people watching was, of course, amazing. I just wish they had more stuff to sell. I guess since it was only the first year holding it they didnt know what to expect, but they def needed a little more room and more vendors.
Adventure Time was everywhere, like Zeus said at a con he went to recently, and so was Dr. Who and Game of Thrones. I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who, though. I think its British and their shows suck balls. The best couple who dressed up were the people who did a perfect Elizabeth and Booker from Bioshock. It was very impressive. I wanted to get a picture of them, but i was too freaked out to get a picture with any of the people who dressed up. I'm sure they love the photo ops, though, and its half the reason people dress up, so i wont be so shy next time.
They had speakers and workshops and stuff. On Sunday when i went the people selling autographs and pictures were Billy West, Phil Lamar, some guy from Walking Dead who died really fast (Theodus Crane), and the black guy from the original Ghostbusters. I heard on Saturday the lady who voices Fiona from Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake was there.
So, i guess my con cherry is popped as 32 years old. It wasnt as nerdy as i thought it would be, but thats probably also because it was small. I did not dress up, but maybe next year i will!

I think i would have cleaned up if i did, though, those uber nerdy guys wouldnt stand a chance.
