      Every august for 5 days I know the feeling.
      And then I feel the emptiness in my soul for the rest of the year.

    I call BS. There’s not a single over-sized weapon, wing, or tail poking someone else in the ear, eye, or nose. 😉

      Given the apparent para-to-mundane population ratio in Minneapolis, many people there probably have more practice managing wings and tails than the typical con-goer.

        Heh… you have to wonder if all of them are actually costumes. The girl with the obviously-fake cat ears… are they concealing the real ones? 🙂

        I think she’s fluttershy, not a cat. Look at her dress. Much like atsali’s rainbowdash costume

        None of them have sharp teeth, so I’d say all of those are Muggles. Sharp teeth are Paul’s shorthand for “supernatural”.

      the question is given that this is Minneapolis, which con at the Hyatt regency is it? there are like 3-4 per year.

        Actually, that’s Jakuzure from “Kill la Kill” in her Nudist Beach getup, not a Team Skull grunt.

        If you mean the one in the front, fairly sure that’s a Mario Mushroom hat

      wow… I love you people… this actually made me smile this morning. I MISS conventioning… My local MAJOR con moved to DC and its just to expensive a weekend to afford the CON and the Hotel. and a 2 hour drive there and home (especially at 2 in the morning) which requires leaving at close to 7 in the morning.. just isn’t something that can be easily done. And while yes I COULD share a room to reduce cost. nobody I know and actually LIKE and TRUST goes to the con. I pretty much go by myself.

    The only one I recognized immediately was the plush of the cat (at least I hope plush and not a live cat!) Jiji from “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, one of several anime that I have here at the nursing home. My own experience with conventions is entirely with SF/fantasy conventions in the 1975-2010 era (Rivercon, Inconjunction (in 2012 I was recovering from a stroke, alas), a few WorlCons (I was at MidAmericon in 1976 where Star Wars was introduced), and while I was stuck on a project in Saint Cloud in 1994, some friends of mine who were driving to the Winnipeg WorldCon from Louisville stayed in the same motel as they passed through.

    Every Friday and Saturday night at the SoNo Cinema. Rocky Horror folks, both the theater packing crowd or those who hung out in the parking lot all night. It was like having at least a few dozen cousins, uncles and aunts that you really liked to be with. It was an amazing few years.

      The place here in Louisville that showed the Rocky Horror Picture Show (the Vogue Theatre) closed down in 1998, unfortunately, and even though they were my crowd, I never saw Rocky Horror until I got the DVD. Fortunately, it’s one of those I ripped, so I have it here at the nursing home.

    I started volunteering for what was the only local con in my area about five years ago, and my first reaction was ‘Holy Jeez! This is AWESOME!’ Now I’m closely involved with the second local con in my area (I’m second in command of the whole thing, part of the planning team, and the volunteer coordinator) – I’ve definitely found my people, do I know how Pickle feels 🙂

    One of my favorite things about this strip is the way the Para population manages to live alongside the human population and enjoy the same things the humans do.

    Kinda like the Potterverse, except that more humans are aware of the Wizard population than seem to be aware of the Para population.

    The crowd scene is wonderful, but “Sailor Beard-gut “……..I think I’m gonna go scrub my eyeballs with comet cleanser. ???

      Sailor Bubba is a well-known staple of just about ANY Con of sufficient size. And frankly, you haven’t seen the true face of horror until you’ve seen Man-Faye.

    Castela’s reaction is pretty much the same as mine was, the first time I went to Sakura-Con.
