So, it is that time of year again. Convention time! My friend and I dressed up as Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We met up with other friends who knew way more about comics then we did, which was a good thing. The picture you see to your left should not alarm you...the guns are fake....air guns actually but are good accessories for villains. We got them from some guy as a prop for one pose. Back to the con, where we walked around looking for free candy. We also met a few cool animators. I saw my favorite webcomic artist, Gordon McAlpin who writes

I also stumbled upon a booth with a couple who were animators on Metalocolypse. The wife was named Daisy Church.
We got up the nerve to walk over to the Boondock Saints booth where Norman Reedus (not Sean Patrick Flanery......he was eating a pizza) gave us high fives and started hitting on us. This happened while there was a huge line waiting for their signatures. We did not see the line and got yelled at by one of the fans. We apparently cut and didn't buy anything so we walked away giggling.
We saw crazy costumes which ranged from bad, Butt Crack Princess Leia, to good, Incredibly Hot Captain America (some might disagree with these descriptions). Lots of Harley's were there which made me start to rethink this annual tradition.
The con was fun but driving back home in this get-up was not.
Next post......Sakura Con.
