Went to the Comic Convention recently with hubs over in Baltimore, Maryland. First, this is my first real convention of a decent size, with tons of folks there not just attending, but selling all sorts of cool goodies. Second, there were so many people, the line went outside the front doors, down the front of the convention building, and wrapped around the side almost to the back! While we waited in line to buy tickets, we spotted all sorts of cool fan shirts and cosplayers abouts. Trying to idnetify and name them was part of the fun of waiting in such a freakishly long line. Third, we got to meet the creator and artist for a webcomic hubs enjoys called Evil Inc. Brad Guigar. Not only was he a nice and cool guy to meet in person (who also happens to live in nearby Philadelphia), but when hubs bought a copy of his book Phables, he drew a very nice sketch inside the cover of Phamous Philadelphian Larry Fine (the third Stooge), and autographed it. How awesome is that? Fourth, we saw the coolest Ghostbuster costume and tried to snap pics of it. Unfortunately, it was a cell phone, the lighting was poor, and the pics turned out dark and semi blurry. Just didn't do it justice, so next convention I want to take a camera with us. Lesson learned. Fifth, we walked out, not only with hubs copy of Phables, but a nice small stack of $.50-$1.00 comics I managed to snag from a few bargain booths... one of which all the proceeds went to a local animal shelter. Comics for a good cause. I can roll with that. Oh, and a few cute pins from a guy who sells them online as well. I got the bandage, monkey, and kitten keychains, 3 for $10. They are super cute. Go check them out at [link]

Last but not least, it was fun to walk around and see all the cosplay costumes people wore there. Some characters I recognized were Yugioh, Bleach, Kingdom Hearts, Xmen and various marvel characters, various DC characters, and even a very cute Astroboy that looked fresh out of the new CG movie coming out. And one booth sold a hat that looked just like Kisuke Urahara's from Bleach. [link]

All in all, a very fun experience, and one I'd love to repeat.
