It's a lot of horror people....(from old horror movies) - but they also have comedy people there (the pilot from Airplane for example is there this April), old tv show people there....and figures and comics from ALL genres...

we've gone twice and met some really great people....i met a few people from the Warriors (a FAVE of ours) - they were soooooo nice!!!!

My husband went last yr. I think he is going again. His medieval group does a live show. Play fighting with foam swords. Do you also go to I-con? Its usually at Stony Brook College but this yr its at Suffolk Community College in Brentwood.

no - i've never seen Darkon... I never got into the D&D and role playing aspect...but the figures, posters, movies, etc...OH YEAH.

our living room looks like the 40 year old virgin's house - but our stuff is out of the boxes on display...

Nerd movie - Darkon

Darkon the movie was sad but really good to watch.



okay, so by sad do you mean sad things happen or it was just a 'poorly done movie'?

I ask because i cry at DUMB VH1 shows now (because of the hormones) - so if it's something that will upset me - i'll put it on netflix, towards the bottom...to wait until i'm MUCH less hormonal....

Re: Comic con!!!!

actually parts of it made me sad. A few nerdy kids who get picked up and crapped on do this to feel free and strong. I mean its turning a negative into a positive but its still sad in my eyes because i know how it feels to be pooped on and needing an outlet.
