Traverse City Comic Convention

Yes I went, and I had a nerd-tastic time!  Met some awesome artists, took in the hilarious scene and even went for a spooky ride!

This storm trooper's armor was all dirty

Kiddie costume contest (the boy with the black + white face make-up won, 

he was the DC comics villain Two-Face)

I chatted with and bought some goodies from the lovely 

and talented Leslie Gauthier

I bought this amazing print from the talented Jeremy Bastian

And last but not least, I took a spin in the mock burial ride.  You got inside a real coffin that simulated being buried, complete with cockney grave diggers, a bumpy ride in a hearse to the graveyard, dirt being thrown on top of the coffin and finally, the flies and bugs starting to eat your body!  It was all done with sound effects and an air compressor and some kind of bump-making machine, and it was totally fun!  And so Goth!
