rosemont, here I come!
one of my long time wishes is to visit the comics convention in San Diego. I haven't made it there yet, but in the meantime, a friend has invited me to join him for the Wizard World in Chicago. First off, I am not eager to visit the big boys of comics, since I mostly prefer small press published work. And, I'm not big on superheroes, but that is what the big companies focus on. And big companies is what Wizard World is all about.
Ever since the opening of Chasing Amy, and probably other countless references to comic conventions, I've always wanted to go to at least one big silly one that I didn't even care about, just to check it out.
It is with eager anticipation that I've begun to look forward to tomorrow. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I suggested that we dress up as something. I don't want to feel left out and conservative by wearing normal people clothes. John suggested Papa Smurf & Smurfette...no way I will paint myself blue on a day other than Halloween. I suggested a nearly normal Clark Kent & Lois Lane. More superhero-ish than The Smurfs anyhow...we'll see.

okay, we didn't dress up. in fact there was hardly anyone dressed up, so we would have stood out sorely. especially as papa smurf and smurfette.
I was surprised by the lack of absolute geeky people. most of them were all surprisingly normal looking, if a little pale, gangly, and pimply. but passable, for normal, if that makes sense. we spent a good portion of the day searching for The Ultimate Nerd and found various contenders, but no true winner.
and we got lotsa comics! I managed to pick up the very last Promethea that I somehow missed when it arrived. I may take it apart and turn it into a poster as suggested...
