Visuals and more theory

Carter tells me he found out last weekend was the last weekend before school in Orange County started. Another factor dampening things? Could be. All the same, I think we're coming to the big Megacon anyways. We met some good folks and I think we can build on what we've started there.

Okay, pics and video.

Went to the Ripley's believe It Or Not Museum on Friday and saw the genuine Vampire killing kit. Stabby!Lots of International Drive looks like this. It's 21 miles long and is bounded at either end by a massive outlet mall. Everything that isn't an attraction or a hotel (or the convention center) is someplace where you can buy stuff to pretend you went to any of those.


Okay, some video. The above is from setup day, Friday.


One minute before opening on Saturday.


They had a section where some intent fellows were duking it out with foam swords. That was okay, but then Ms Marvel, The Invisible Woman, and um...zombie girl pick up the swords. Had to rotate the video and somehow the conversion killed the sound. It sounded like a three-way tennis match.
That's the Silver Surfer watching the above video.
Lady Blackhawk!
Zatanna didn't believe me when I said the glasses make the whole getup better, but she was nice enough to leave them on anyways. Elims!

Iowa felt very nice, coming back. As I got off the plane in Cedar Rapids, I felt the noticeable shift between the gentle touch of cool air and Orlando's constant attempts to shove water into every pore of my body. Still, being back to work makes me think that sitting at a table even at a low attendance con is still pretty good.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, posed for pics, and chatted us up. People make the cons; it's quality, not quantity. But a large quantity of quality people would be awesome too.
