Two weekends ago I went to the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest comic and popular art convention, Comic-Con, which is held every year at the San Diego Convention Center. It was pretty amazing. You could get anything from really old comics to shiny new comics, all sorts of action figures and toys, books, DVDs, T-shirts, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The exhibit hall was packed with people. Attendance was pretty good last year and this year the number of people seemed to fill the convention center to its capacity limit again (something around 120000 people, or a middle-sized town). Enough words that wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do the event justice anyway; here are some pictures:<\/p>\n

\"G.I.<\/p>\n

\"Optimus<\/p>\n

\"Indiana<\/p>\n

\"Boba<\/p>\n

\"God<\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

\"Batman<\/p>\n

\"Miss<\/p>\n

I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take a lot of pictures of the people in awesome costumes on the exhibit floor, but you can check out Stu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
