There's a costume contest this year so I'm sure there will be more than a few over-the-top costumes.

I'll be leaving my Princess Leia slave costume at home this year so I can sport my Flames shirt.

What are the chances of finding vintage 80s toys or obscure 80s ancient anime on VHS?
You're constant nostalgia confuses me.

Did Margot Kidder go crazy and jump through a window?

Actually you can (though maybe not that big), it's a Star Wars maquette:



I actually own this one!

I was there as well, had a good time. My poor wife was half scared (of the people in costume)and half wondering why she married me.

I am curious how the artwork commissions work. Some of the artists were working on pieces for fans for a fee? It seems like you have to get there early before they get all booked up. Anyone have familiarity with that? I'd like to ask a couple of people do some work next year.

The western-themed artbook is amazing. I bought one and went around having people sign their pieces.

Was talking to the head organizer. They are doubling in size next year!
