[Hey Kids, Comics!]

I went last year. Wont make it this year. Free show in the middle of downtown with LOTS of costumes milling around outside makes for big crowds.

Report?

Fantastic show. I think attendance may have been down a little from last year......but still in the thousands.

 

I did better than last year though......so I'm happy.

 

Don't think I've ever seen as many costumes at a show.(well maybe the last time I attended Dragon Con years ago?)

 

Hundreds were dressed up.

 

Will try and post some pics later.

It was a lot..........but just didn't seem as busy as last year?
