    Allosaurs have better forelimbs than a T-Rex and three talons to a hand rather than two.

Imagine if we lived in a constant comic con how much better the world would be.

  I fully believe that if people could walk around in costumes every day without ridicule, most would.
  Also, if I ever get alzheimer's disease, I want someone to put a cape on me and tell me I was a superhero every day.

  Its the ultimate expression of fandom. THE big opportunity for fans to act and dress to show their support without hindrance.
  
  Also an opportunity for the companies catering to them to do both business at the convention for existing products (franchises), and get their target audience motivated for upcoming products.
  
  One of the most interesting things about comicon is the convergence that happens over years.
  
  Originally it was the comic universe that drove it. Now, as you can see from the displays, movie/video and gaming franchises are become more and more important.

ComicCon is not the only venue for .... different...

Gen Con can be a bit odd as well :)

My wife and I went to the Phoenix Comiccon, and were disappointed that there was hardly anyone in cosplay. We have been going for at least ten years, we talked to some people and found out that friday start of Comiccon was cosplay day now. Unfortunately we went on Sunday. When the cosplayers are there, they are much more friendly than normals. So, next time it's Friday. Although, I would love to go to San Diego Comicon, you have to book a ticket a year in advance.

As a former comicbook publisher, I attended many comicons in San Diego. Kira's little revue had me nostalgic and wanting to barf at the same time.

Here is a question regarding this.

Does the character you take the time to dress up in reflect your REAL personality? If so there are a lot of REALLY disturbed people there.

    What did the look on your face at the end mean?

Never been there, but I was an invited guest at DragonCon 2008 in Atlanta. That's THE global sci-fi convention. It was a ball - 30,000+ people from all over the globe, four huge convention hotels. Mrs. Animal and I got access to the VIP lounge which was cool, because we got to gas with some famous folks (my one great disappointment was missing Nathan Fillion by about ten minutes.)

Being on panels with the likes of John Ringo was fun, too.

Thank you, Kira!

Yes, ditto - one of these years I will surely get there, but... not this one. 'Other fish to fry.

Something that always springs to mind when I see this kind of thing - also every Halloween - is that other than... ComiCons and Halloweens, the concept of the masquerade ball is almost completely gone from civilization. Maybe that's a big part of why both of these events continue to be so popular.

So I need to think about my future costume... hmmm.
