This was about as close as it came back in the early days of SDCC. And, frankly, I was a little intimidated...

Wendy?

Seems like I had more success at weddings. I guess in a way, they are like cosplay.

If it's the person I remember, I don't think you were alone with those flashes...and it might have been her neighbor's picture.

Interesting.

Yes, at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, near the DC Comics booth, I perchanced to lock glances with an advanced cosplayer who was the very incarnation of Wonder Woman, somehow a mix between the Lynda Carter version we all knew and the Gal Gadot version that was yet to be. Well, sir, one thing led to another, and that night, I lost myself to ruby red lips, milky white skin, and baby blue eyes, all while snuggly bound at the arms in an impressive replica golden lasso. 

She said her name was Russell.

Myself and another boardie who I will not name got flashed in a PM by a female boardie who I will also not name. Does that count? 

This was probably in 2003-ish and both the flasher and my fellow "flashee" are no longer around. 

That's nuts for sure.

What a fascinating thread topic. Are you writing a book or is this just for your edification?

I think it’s a great topic, and an important one to demolish the public misconception that comic book fans tend to be dateless, nerd losers.

Whoever has that misconception is not on cgc boards reading this thread.

I attended Wondercon when it was held in Oakland and met this man and got lucky by buying a Batman 42 from him raw for $300.  Graded a 7.5

And honestly, this thread has not really refuted that..

This makes me think of that whole Clayton Crain / Black Flag mess that played out on social media. 

Black Flag is a man and not a band...?

The way that was worded.  Well it sounds like there may have been more than $300 involved.  

Still that is lucky.
