Friday, I'll be cosplaying with a large Umbrella Corp/Resident Evil group so keep an eye out.
Saturday and Sunday, you should be able to find me at the Art Show on the third floor (no, not Artist Alley or the Dealers Room) if I'm not running errands or meandering around. I look forward to seeing those that I do!

We'll be there Friday & Sunday.  Saturday I'm hoping we can make it back in time for the cos-play competition but a family obligation may keep us away all day Saturday. 

I have to say that I went for the 1st time last year & had a TON of fun.  Its kind of like air-conditioned faire.  Lots of cool, fun people & stuff to do.  Our daughter has already planned out what she & I are doing both days.  Lots of anime drawing & Lolita fashion.

As always.  She also made sure we left time for shopping.   

We'll try & find you  I'm sure she'll want to see the art show.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but is the Dallas A-Kon the same thing as the Houston Apollo Con?

[*Teach*]

If we had known in time we would be there. The Lovely Lady Trinn wasn't able to get the weekend off.
*Sigh*

*I'll just be sitting home with my rum and dreaming of being there*

Houston's Apollo Con is to Science Fiction/Fantasy as Dallas' A-Kon is to anime and video games.

If that makes sense...

Two completely different conventions, ran by different people, if that's what you are asking.

Big hugs, wish you could be there! You, mister, need to rest and recover though! Kidney stones suck!

[Tink]

That makes perfect sense.  Thanks, Elo!  I hope yall all have a great time!

I think she will be there.  She was last year (pictured below), but I don't remember her having the 'kilt-blower'
