WELCOME TO DENVER COMICON!!

Beau had a booth at the second annual Denver Comicon over the weekend and I went to help out (and to people-watch--it's like Halloween in June without the candy). Before you start to judge and say that I'm exploiting these folks, let me put your mind at ease. Anybody in costume WANTED to be photographed. I promise. And there are photos I could have run that I'm not running . Plus, we were in public, and the law is on my side on this one. :)

These folks were waiting outside the convention center. Presumably, they had a
babysitter for their incredibles kids. The purse and the cell phone really make this photo.

I love it when I see a love connection between an alien and the dead.

And between a superhero (?) and a robot.

I spent a lot of time saying "I love your costume!"
I spent a lot of time wanting to ask "What are you?"
But, in here, that question is waaaaaay too nerdy.

While I'm normally a huge proponent of wearing underpants, these panty lines
are really distracting. Then again, maybe that's her superpower!

This photo marks the first time I my life I yelled "Hey, Ninja Turtle!"
and someone actually turned around.

Same goes with yelling "Hey, Wolverine!"

She made her own wings. They were gorgeous.

Her little robot dragon moved and chirped on her shoulder.

Sometimes the looks on the faces of bystanders were just as entertaining.

Subsists on brains, but can still work a camera! Very impressive!

All the while, Beau toiled away, drawing caricatures.

Don't know what he is, but he spent a lot of money.

Loved the feathers. She had feather eyelashes too.
And she was really nice.

Though she looks like she might whip you to death, she was very nice too.

Hump Bot. Again, I have no idea. But I like the costume.

Love the automatic poses folks gave me when I pointed my phone at them.

Introducing the latest book I won't be reading.

There were so many iterations of this costume (many of them slutty).
I thought I'd post the best one. It lights up!

The first (and last) photo I've ever taken of a stranger in
a public restroom.

This was so creepy that I could barely stand his gaze for
the time it took to shoot this photo. (Also, the guy in the
plaid shirt behind him was a total perv. Took photos
of scantily clad underaged girls all day.)

Oddly enough, Beau knows this guy. His masks are amazing. Creepy, but amazing.

FOUND HIM!

Barbie and Ken. Adorably creepy.

I'm mellllllllting!

My Adventure Time on the train ride home.

Oh, yes. I saved the BEST for last. There are no words.
(Though my mom had three: NOBODY ARRESTED THEM???)
