Over the weekend me and some friends went to GenCon here in Indianapolis. We had a good time testing out some new and old games. We did some serious people watching. The people (my peeps) who go to comic book conventions and to gaming conventions are so unique. They really don't care what people think of them. (I love that) There is a lot of freedom in your wardrobe if other people's opinion doesn't matter. If you've ever wanted to dress up in a costume on some day other than Halloween you need to go to a convention. Some convention attendees go simple with a weird hat or big boots with straps. The range of costumes is from simple all the way to a full Hollywood quality costume.

The big geek accessory this year was definately the goggle. Not the kind that you had to wear in shop class at school but a seriously ornate brass rimmed, colored lens with leather trim kind of goggle. Here's a picture to the right. Notice all the goggles behind her. The cost? About $100 bucks! They are cool goggles but not that cool.

How about some pictures with commentary? Oh yeah.
