Dallas Comic Con 2012
I have always wanted to attend the San Diego Comic Con, but for now the Dallas one will suffice! It was totally rad, too! I have been to two Twilight conventions before but they don’t compare to Comic Con. There were a wholeeeeee lot of people there. A few websites said “roughly 20,000 attendees.” Holy Bill of Rights, Batman!! I went by myself, but met a lot of new friends.
Naturally, I had to dress up for it, too. So I went as Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It was a pretty easy costume for me. I dyed my blonde hair blue for it, ordered the purse and goggles from Amazon, and found the purple tights and pink shorts at the mall.
A few of the celebrities I got to see were Stan Lee, Patrick Stewart and Summer Glau. I also got to meet and get an autograph from James Marsters. I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan and Spike was a favorite character of mine. So I was giddy and starstruck when I shook his hand!! He was really cool in his Q&A panel, too.

Your costume is excellent! That's really cool that you got to see celebrities like that! (I'd name the ones I think are cool, but I'd just be repeating your list.) You'll make it to San Diego someday!

You really nailed your costume. Heck, I don't think they should even be called costumes. Looks like a great place to get to see. Spike. Wow, that is amazing. Hope you can get to more in the future.

I was posting comments while peeps stood in front of live feed at A-Con. Let's just say I wasn't overly polite.
