Okay, as promised--a full comic con update!!!
(Finally!)
It's kind of hard to describe the insanity and chaos that is 120,000 hardcore fans/geeks crammed into an exhibit hall for four days, so I'm mostly going to let the pictures speak for themselves.
So...this was us on Friday...
(that's my: I can't believe I let him leave the room like this smile)
Rainbow Brite and Quail-Man
I usually don't post pics of the Hubs on here, but he was so ridiculously proud of his costume he gave me his permission (shoot--he requested it.)
(though, I will admit, it was a VERY popular costume. He was definitely at one with the nerds)
(sigh)
At Marie Lu's signing
(where I got a signed ARC of LEGEND--Squee!)
@PenguinTeen even tweeted this photo (and FB'd it) so LOTS of people got to see it. Um...yay?
This might be my favorite picture:
The hubs took it when people started handing me their children so they could get a picture with Rainbow Brite, and he was cracking up because he knows how much babies/toddlers scare me. It's not that I don't like kids. It's just that I have NO idea what to do with them when they're that young! WHAT IF THEY CRY OR SPIT UP ON ME???
(ahem)
(side note: what was UP with people trusting me with their children??? How did they know I wasn't a creeper?)
(I mean, I'm not. But still--they didn't KNOW that!)
And...Saturday's look:

FOUR WEEKS?!? Mr. G is going to be gone for four weeks?? I am as dismayed by this news as you. This is terrible. This is calamitous. This is... unexpectedly exciting?
He has no idea how much trouble I can get into in four weeks.
I have already begun formulating Secret Plans. This is the month. Tell your friends.
The fourth Coraline featurette has been posted. This one is my favorite of the five, because of a certain cosmic alignment of talents hinted at by the title up there.
I decided that none of you should be spared my attempts at humour in the labels, so I have gone back to work under the hood and the feed now includes them at the bottom! (Secret Plat #1: CHECK) Only the official feed includes the labels; all of the depricated feeds, and the one straight from blogger, still lack them. (This means that if you are not seeing the labels at the bottom of each entry in your feed reader then you should resubscribe to the feed via the previous link. If you experience any issues, please contact me.
Because I was feeling silly, I created a page on Fundable.com to raise money to buy Mr. G a RoboPanda. Fundable is cool because it only takes the money if the goal is reached. I thought maybe people could throw in $0.50 or a dollar, and I would post pictures of the look on his face when he got it -- but when I got to the end of the sign-up I learned that the minimum pledge was $10. And, I mean, $10 is a little much for a gag gift that's going to collect dust in the attic, likely scaring the fur off of Zoe the blind cat. I link to it now only because I spent so long photoshopping that image and hate to waste it.

Sounds like a fabulous time. Awesome that you went with your husband. And I thought you looked good with the baby. Hint. Hint.
Wow, is that like a PICTURE!!!! of the mysterious Tahereh????? :D
LOL!!!!! Awwwww you and hubs and everyone else look AMAZING!! AMAZING!!!! The Hubs is so crazy cool!! Yay!! take care

Quail man, now that was genius :)
Great pictures! Tell your husband if he finds the need for a new superhero alias, he should go with "Tighty Bobwhitey."
Quail Man! Woot woot! : )
You and hubby look cute in your costumes. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
You and your hubby are SO FREAKING CUTE <3
xoxoxo
(1) LOVE your costumes!
(2) LOVE the hubs' costumes!
(3) JEALOUS of all the cool panels!!!
QUAIL MAN!! I officially think your hubs is super awesome. And you - well, you're just plain adorable.
Looks like so much fun :) And chaos.
Awww, Shannon, I love you!! :) {In a totally non-creepy way, I promise.} Thanks for bending to the peer pressure and drsesing up - you make an adorable Alice, and you rocked Rainbow Brite. Thanks for all the pictures of the panel and letting us in on your ComicCon experience!! :)
LOL, I knew that was Quail-Man from my google reader. Tell hubs he looks perfect.
And how sweet are you with the little ones? Too cute! The best thing about other peoples' kids? You can give them back.
Glad you had fun!
Hahaha, he looks so proud of that Quail Man costume.
And I love your costumes! They're both cute, but I really love the Alice one.
And I hear you on the kids thing. It's not that I don't love small children, it's just that I don't want them shoved in my arms. It's the whole fear of dropping them/not wanting them to drool (or worse) on me thing.
Awesome pics!! Love love love them!!! Looks like you had a fab time!!
I LOVE the pictures! I'm so jealous. :)
You two are too cute, and I love your Alice costume! It's such a pretty shade of blue! Okay, so need to go to Comic Con next year and get my geek on.
:D :D :D
Oh my word. BEST.
Hahaha! That was awesome.
Comic Con looks like so much fun! And I don't think I've ever seen Quail Man looking so proud of himself :)
+JMJ+
Alice--even a Disneyfied Alice--is always awesome! Thanks for sharing these pictures, Shannon. It looks as if you had a lot of fun . . . but not as much fun as those little kids. ;-)
