Day One! Captain Hammer (and fan) cosplay<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When Geek Outlaw and I did a booth at Long Beach Comic Expo in March we ended up in a dark back corner of the Floor in an area we dubbed \u201cThe Batcave.\u201d The one perk? We made an awesome friend in fellow Batcave sufferer,\u00a0Taking Eden\u00a0<\/em>graphic novel creator Jason Beckwith. To make up for such a crappy location, they gave us a great deal (and a much better spot) for Long Beach Comic Con.<\/p>\n

Day Two! Star Trek (2009) cosplay<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Since we spent most of our time behind a table, most of the coverage is the amazing cosplay; however, we did have my very first \u201cdrink together\u201d which is basically me telling all of my ConFam that they should know and be ConFam with each other too.<\/p>\n

Before we get to costumes, here\u2019s some of my fellow booth peeps \u2013 authors, artists, and actors \u2013 oh my!<\/p>\n
