I went. You might have seen me. I was the Fourth Doctor, with the fantasy warrior and the dude in the Guy Fawkes mask following me around. It was freaking awesome. I met all sorts of wonderful people, and bought a ton of wonderful comics. This post isn't going to go in any kind of logical order, because right now I'm too excited to focus.
I met Roland! And Jake! And Oy! Oh my gosh! He even told me: "Long days and pleasant nights" when I said goodbye. They were both awesome, and their costumes were fantastic. Jake's coat even said: "Nothing but strikes at Mid-World Lanes" on the back. They were both in character the whole time. I kept seeing this guy dressed up like a cowboy around, but I couldn't figure out who he was, then my mother finally told me he was the gunslinger. She recognized him instantly. I'm profoundly disgusted with myself, that I didn't know who he was instantly. After all, I sat through all of those books and Mom only read one.
It just occurred to me I should have asked him if he had the revolvers. Ah well.
Austin was completely delighted to meet some Star Wars people. He saw Vader from across the parking lot and nearly had a stroke from excitement. He's a total Star Wars geek, he's read the books and everything.
All of us with the gunslinger again. Can you tell his was my favorite costume?
Me with the Eleventh Doctor and another Fourth Doctor.
Me and Austin with Batman. This guy's costume has to be the best homemade Batman costume I've ever seen. Plus, it was the New 52 design, which I'm a huge fan of.
Me with Bug. Totally delighted to see someone dressed up like him. He was in character the whole time as well.
All of us together with Mom.
All the stuff I got. I got a variety of books, mostly from characters I'm curious about but know nothing or very little about. Particularly happy to have found some Midnighter comics. Watson bought a bunch of X-Men comics. We're both going to be very busy reading for a long time.
We stopped at a gas station for a pit stop on the way there, and when I went to pay for my Yoohoo and Doritos the cashier handed me this. There are no coincidences.

P.S. Ugh, I still have a paper to write. I don't know how I'm going to be able to concentrate enough to finish.
