I have always wanted to go to comic cons. I am a huge comic book/superhero fan. I hoep I get the chance someday.We love going to ComicCons. The big ones are held by "WizardCon." however, there are smaller ones that are fun too. Just google around a bit and you will probably find something in a better place than Atlanta. My wife and I are most likely going to the Indianapolis PopCon on June 17-19. It is a smaller con, but has some good stars and comic artists there. Also, lots of cosplay.
I understand your dislike of Atlanta. When I was in the Army I went to Basic at Ft. Benning and then I was stationed at Ft. Gordon. I only had limited experience with Atlanta, but I hated every second of it.
YUM. Can I stop by for some!
It is going by so fast. Soon kids will be off for summer vacation and once they are back in September it marks the start of the build up for me.Yup it sure is confusing Festive...Thats the main thing its only 6 months away...Crazy to think Christmas in July is only a matter of weeks away
Martine: As far as cosplay we have done: Me: Rorschach (from the Watchman) Batman (Michael Keaton version)
Wife: Poison Ivy, Batwoman, Miss Jupiter (Watchman), random Steampunk outfit
Nathan(oldest son): Dr. Manhattan(watchman), the Riddler, random Steampunk outfit
Henry(youngest son): The Penguin, NightOwl (Watchman), Plankton (SpongeBob)
We are currently working on some new outfits. My wife and I are planning on going to a Con in Indianapolis June 17-19. I am hoping to have my Lone Ranger outfit done by then. Also a DieselPunk outfit. My wife is working on a new Batwoman outfit from a specific comic called "Bombshells."
My wife also has a homemade Grinch outfit, Buddy the Elf and Napoleon Dynamite. She has worn those to school on special dressup days for Halloween and Christmas. It is really my wife who gets all of the credit for the costume making, she is an Art Teacher and likes to build the costumes. I do the little I can with my limited abilities.
It is a lot of fun though. It is really great when you are walking around in costume and you see folks, young and old, light up when they see your character. Lots of pictures and memories made.

The trip was great and no real issues with traffic, just the craziness of Philadelphia. One strange intersection where cars came in from every direction with no lane lines, I called it the Circle of Death.
We went by Frederick County, but did not stop there. I also drove through the Antietam Battlefield but did not stop. There are currently fixing Burnside's Bridge right now so you cannot really get to that anyway. We were a little limited on time on the last day because we extra time in Philly, so that meant we really only had time for Harpers Ferry and Maryland Heights in that region.
We did Gettysburg first, then Philly, and then Harpers Ferry. There is so much in Philly we really need to go again.
It sounds like you guys a brilliant time at the events as well as preparing for them. I like diesel punk and steam punk . I bet the costumes are great.Martine: As far as cosplay we have done: Me: Rorschach (from the Watchman) Batman (Michael Keaton version)
