Appreciation
So this weekend was Comic Con here in San Diego. I’m not much of a fan of any of the stuff that goes on there, but it was quite interesting to see the spectacle of everyone dressed up in various ridiculous, and quite realistic, outfits. The costumes are waaaaay cooler and better quality than ones you’d see on Halloween! Comic Conner’s don’t mess around!
Me and my friends spent ample time cracking jokes at the fanatics expense (out of their earshot of course), but I got to thinking. These fans are REALLY passionate about the “art form” of comic books and story telling. The more I thought about it, the more I APPRECIATED their passion and disregard for social convention by dressing up in crazy outfits. They were determined to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent, to hell with the snickerers.
Awesome!
I can’t wait to see them out in full force next year. Of course I’ll still make fun, but it will be while appreciating their efforts!
