MiniMegaCon Day One

It's been a great day here in the oh-so-lovely air conditioned hall E1 of the Orlando Convention Center. This is easily the coolest costume con I've ever been to. A trio of young ladies came by our table as the Birds of Prey--one of them is actually confined to a wheelchair so she's Barbara Gordon. That's a really awesome thing for her friends to do.

Seen two very credible Zatannas, including one with a librarian bent that frankly does it for me.

We're meeting folks, buying a few things, and really enjoying our time here. The postcards are going at a good clip and I don't feel like I may be going insane. George Perez even popped by the Hero Initiative booth to sign and sketch for an hour. There are lots of costumes and since it's Orange County, a very physically-credible looking bunch they are too. There waqs a dude in a Connor/Superman t-shirt who was built like Superman. Lots and lots of anime references I don't get but appreciate, sure, but even a really great Ms Marvel and a really good Silver Surfer are lurking about. They all show care in their garb, but not the overpolished "this is my whole life" thing you sometimes see.

Oh good. There goes a fat guy in a Superman shirt. Okay, have my equilibrium back.
