any of you nerds going?

It's not my thing but the kids like it. I will probably go on Sunday.

The cost is really kind of excessive even if the kids are free. We have been lucky enough to go at off hours and walk right in without a wristband. We don't try to go to any of the discussions or meet and greets. Paying to get onto a floor in order to have the opportunity to purchase stuff from vendors seems like a waste.

If you don't do the panels, meets & greets, or the sales floor, what else if there left to do?

I do go to the vendors floor

If there is an "interesting" person signing autographs I may leer from afar.

I took my daughter to one a few years ago. We went on a Sunday because it was billed as a "Kid's Day," which someone told me meant that there'd be less X-rated stuff.

I was confused about everything, but it was a jigglefest, which was cool.

Unfortunately the jiggles are more around the waist than the chest.

Last year was chock full of women dressed as Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn who did not have the same dimensions as Margot Robbie

Well, it's true that sometimes the cosplay thing does not work out the way my libido wants it to.

In any case, everything there confused me.
