Houston's Comicpalooza

As I will be in Texas for a period of time, I figured that I might as well swing by Houston's Comicpalooza. I don't think that it will be anything close to Dragoncon, but it still should be fun. After all, I tend to go for the dealer shops, and it is really hard for me to shop for steampunk online.
Do I expect costumes? Yes, but not at the same quality and/or quantity seen at Dragoncon.
Will I drag members of my family with me? Hopefully, but then again, a lot of them have perception issues. If they are seen with geeks, then you will become a geek. I don't really perceive us as the zombie types. Statistically, zombies will allows when. The numbers are against you.

So, I look forward to Comicpalooza, and while I may not give you an update on how it went, I will probably give you an update on what I bought!

I am afraid that if I actually attend this thing that I will have finally crossed over to the dark side.

At the same time, I see plenty of material for a potential paper, conference, and travel money.

Ummm... Bayard, you're writing for a comic book related blog. How much further to the dark side is going to a con going to push you?

Plus it's entertaining.

denial, Robert, denial

I also have coffee once a week with a department chair and dean who fame all adminstrative conversations in Star Wars imagery.

Zimm is wrong. It is like Zombies. You hang around 'em long enough you end up a member.

Denial is my last best refuge.

Isn't that a river in Egypt?

I finally saw the events & progamming schedule, and it looks like a great Con!!

belindaroar, I agree. I wish I was going to be near there at that time. Hopefully Zimm and Bayard will go and we can get a good con report.
