Oh great.....no metal weapons. That's New York for ya! I'm bringing it anyway. If they won't let me wear it I'll check it in with my backpack. There are going to be lots of people with bladed lightsabers too I bet.

ConnectiCon has a similar weapon policy, but Lightsabers are permitted, even if made of metal. Maybe there won't be a problem.

Well, comic con was fun... Cal it was awesome hanging out with you! I met several people whom I got to chat with about TJA and talk Jedi costume with. Overall, the con itself was a bit disappointing...at least for me, who is not into the comic book scene. Very crowded, and long lines for everything... 20 minutes waiting for the bathroom! I chose not to get Christopher Lloyd's autograph... I didn't expect the price. Next time I have the opportunity I'll be prepared. I didn't get into the few panels that I actually wanted to see because they were full, even the one we waited on line for. So I bough beer and a pretzel and enjoyed the company! ;D My son had fun cosplaying as Raoul Duke aka Hunter S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).... and it was his first con so he had a blast! He loved having his picture taken all day lol. i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/LilEB/AntasRaoulDuke.jpg

It was great hanging out with you, too Leda! The crowds there were thick! My parents said that the buzz on the local newsstations was how many people attended NYCC. This con was more for the comics crowd than the sci-fi crowd. There were a few Star Wars and Trek people there, too. It was mostly the comic book, Anime', and Dr.Who people.

Yes! LOTS of Doctors! Looking at pictures its seems I didn't see some things I would have liked to. I guess I should have studied that program guide more, but that's hard to do with no place to sit. Still had loads of fun though.

Having a few minutes to sit and actually go through the program guide would've been nice. I was amazed at how many people turned out to go to NYCC. I went with some expectations of what I would see, and they were exceeded. I'm not a big comic book fan, anymore, but I still like Batman and Green Arrow. I used to read 3 different Batman titles at one time, but it got too expensive. When I get my tablet in December, I might be able to digitally subscribe to some comic book titles at a reduced price. I went through my digital camera and took no pictures of anything interesting enough to post. Maybe because of the size of the crowds? Maybe there was so much to see that I couldn't decide what to photograph? Maybe because I didn't know what some of the characters were that the cosplayers were costumed as? There were several gray people with striped horns walking about.

NYCC was a week ago, already. A con memory: Walking from Grand Central to the Javits Center down 37th St. with my Jedi Robes fluttering in the breeze, and people on the street saying "Good morning Master Jedi".

Nice! ;D
I haven't found any pictures of us online. I didn't take any myself so I was looking. Lots of people took mine and Cal's picture so I was hoping to find one somewhere.
