Right on the heels of our return from Emerald City Comic-Con, Awesome-Con DC popped up. Shamefully, we missed their inaugural year in 2013, but we weren't about to miss this year. In a short time, Awesome-Con has already made a huge name for itself as a pop-culture convention that spills over with an energy and excitement on the floor - gathering love from all corners of the geek community: artists and crafters, cosplayers, vendors and especially activists. At least half a dozen booths were dedicated to some of the most important issues in the geek community and the people we spoke to were friendly, passionate and informative. In other words, Awesome.
I wonder if I'll have to change the name of the blog now ...

Huntress and Black Lantern Wonder Woman.
Somehow those smiles make them scarier, like
they know something you don't. |
