I expect I shall never drive from my memory one of the earliest Cons I went to, where a group of fans had come as the Legion of Superheroes, in Cockrum era costumes. A much-too-heavy young lady was dressed as Phantom Girl, and the effect was. . . disturbing. And not in a good way!

LOL!! It's kind of like a train wreck. You can't look away from the horror before your eyes, and the image of it is burned into your memory forever. 

Patrick, there were a lot of rumors flying around the con about the move to Anaheim being permanent.

The biggest gripe most people had was that the Anaheim Convention Center was also holding a huge girl's volleyball tournament and a cheerleading contest at the same time, which lead to some crowded conditions transiting between the Exhibit Hall and the Con Hotel (not to mention the Anaheim Hilton Food Court being packed every lunch and dinner hour).

Also, unlike Moscone Center in San Francisco, the food options in the area were all very high priced due to the proximity of Disneyland (and I draw the line at McDonalds and Denny's, which were a bit of a hike to get to from the Con, especially with the couple days of bad weather we had).

The con itself was great, but if it is going to be held in Anaheim from now on, I'll have to take a trip to one of the outlying supermarkets the day before to pick up some groceries and bring them back to the hotel room.

Will post a few more photos later.
