Careful, you made a mistake. The con is on Sunday, not Friday! Otherwise I'd be there now and wouldn't be posting this...

EDIT: The entrance fee is a fundraiser for Japanese relief efforts, there will be a raffle for a Stan Lee lithograph (he'll be a Guest of Honour at the 2-day comic con in September), and there's a costume contest, too. (Prizes are gift certificates to be spent at the convention on Sunday. 3rd place is $50, 2nd is $100, and 1th

is $200.)
See you guys there! If you see a rather low-resolution person there, tell him, "Hey Snakes, you look silly!"
