Photo TR: Theme Park Review goes to COMIC CON!!!!

Postby robbalvey » Sat Jul 22, 2006 5:02 pm

So I went to Comic Con in San Diego this weekend. For those of you who don't know (and knowing this crowd I'm sure ALL of you know) that Comic Con is the annual convention for people who are into all sorts of geeky stuff. Toys, comics, movies, dressing up like a Vulcan, etc...I saw some REALLY "interesting" stuff and a few AWESOME moments which we'll call my "top 3 favorite moments" of Comic Con (see the last few photos of the update below)

I think the photos tell the whole story....

Hahaha, nerds...

Anything new on the Wii or Nintendo in general, Robb? I seriously want to know if Sonic is indeed going to be in Brawl (wishful thinking).

I really can't admit to going to comic cons or else that would make my geek meter rise. Let's just say I might or might not have been to one of these. But that's top secret info. See!!!

Actually I only go to the Charlotte "Heroes Con" which is supposed to be one of the biggest in the country (hmmmm...) about every four years.

Ours is not nearly as cool looking as the one you went to. Thanks for the pics and the laughs. :) Awesome TR as always.
