I'm about 10 miles south of San Fransisco. San Diego is a fun day's drive away. Rita and I have been there a few times. I've seen Comicon on TV, channel G4 shows it every year. Closer to home there's Wondercon.The last few years it's been held in the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I havn't been since I stopped collecting comic cards and books.
Wondercon would be cool. I'm not into comics like I used to be. I like the cons more for the vendors, the celebreties, and the costumed freaks that you see there. "yes, I would like to be one of those costumed freaks"
