We've been waiting A LONG TIME for a Con of our own! (((happy dance)))
I apologize for not getting the photos up until now. I have plenty of excuses, but I'm sure you aren't that interested.
As always, you can click all photos to enlarge.

Below: Callie Cosplay; a guy with cool red contact lenses (as I've written here before, I really love those!)... and--? Does anybody know who she is playing? She stayed in character and didn't answer questions!

Below: Lost Skeleton of Cadavra movie poster ("The day the Earth was disemboweled in terror!") and C-3PO (are we supposed to spell it See-Threepio?) who followed me through one whole aisle.
The last photo, Lucid Ink comics. Thanks for the stickers!
EDIT 5/22/14: Eagle-eyed readers have corrected me, that is R2-D2 and not C-3PO. I can never remember robot names!
Editorial comment that threatens to turn into monster-sized digression but will not: I never edit (without notation, like now) and act like I never make mistakes, and lately, since the extended Tumblr follies, I am more dedicated to that policy than EVER BEFORE. So, I am carefully noting my mistake here. THANKS, D and Jojo! (PS Tumblr kids: consider abandoning your dishonest memory hole and becoming as honest as I am. Your karma will thank you.)

Below: Like me, you probably think of Muhammad Ali when you hear the phrase "black Superman"--but actually, the real one attended the Con. Other photos: fans buying comics, The Fried Pickle Noir guy... and ... Who you gonna call?

Below: I can't figure out if the first t-shirt is pro or anti-confederate? You can go crazy thinking about it. (I do want the second t-shirt, though!) And zombie cookies are what every conventioneer craves. The nice lady from the Sweet Sisters Baking Company apologized for not bringing enough samples of brains-cookies, shaped exactly like brains and made of red velvet cake.
I was pretty disappointed I arrived too late for the coveted, popular brains-cookies. :(

A Splendid Time was guaranteed for all!
