Comic Con is during July in San Diego and will be broadcast live on G4 (cable station). G4 was advertising it Sunday during the Ninja Warrior marathon. You might get to see it on satellite TV. I am giving it up to go to World Con.
Right now is Con season. I was at Anime Con Mid-Atlantic this past weekend. It was really fun! They showed so much enthusiasm! I ran across people from Costume Con at AMA. It was great to meet a whole new generation of costumers. Balticon and Costume Con has classes. I am working on Balticon photos right now. I took a wonderful beading class at Balticon. I came upon Costume Con people at Balticon. I finally got to meet Karen Dick there and h-costumer, Judy Mitchell. I love Judy! She set up a special photo session with me for the wonderfully funny CostumeCon 1889-Steampunk Style. I will be spending a day or two prepping those photos. There were 17 people in the presentation. You can find my Costume Con photos at http://www.costumeslideshows.com/ . After I add Balticon photos this week, I am going back and adding the Costume Con Masquerade photos. Costume Society of America has several regional symposiums (sp? forgot the plural spelling.) So if you miss the national, you might catch a regional. CSA national and Costume Con generally run in the same month. The Halloween costume trade shows are in Feb. & March. Feb. show was in Houston this past year and Mar. 2010 is in Chicago. There was another in Pennsylvania in April. This is where the dealers go to buy. April's show was open to the public. When I finish putting the images from the past months cons online, I will be putting images from the Las Vegas trade show online. We photographed the fashion shows for Halloween and the lingerie shows. We also videotaped the shows. Here is the website for the Chicago 2010 show: http://www.hcpshow.com/ Two of photographers are trying to persuade me to going back to Vegas for the balloon fashion show that someone mentioned last week. In the mid-Atlantic states re-enactments start generally in March/April and are in full bloom in Virginia in Sept. I followed that circuit a few years ago booking two events a day on weekends.
