This post is mostly gonna be a photo dump. Simone and I were able to both get into the con one after the other so I was able to check it out today too, which was great. The event is so big it's hard to describe - every business within a certain radius from the convention center is in one way or the other geared towards the comic-con crowd. It's all very commercial and I guess some people may see it as exploitative. I believe with the growth of this event over the past few years it will have to be split up into the comic part and then the entertainment part. It's just ridiculous what you have to go through just to get tickets to this event and people are not going to put up with this if it gets worse and worse due to a steadily increasing crowd.
The weird and wonderful were on full show, it's heaven for any attention seekers. There are the religious nutters outside, the sparsely dressed girls who lap up the attention they get from photographers, and of course just the weirdos who all of a sudden are not THAT weird anymore.
