Nerd fest errrrrrrr Comicon 2010

Have you ever wanted to dress up like a Jabba the Hut sex slave, like Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi? How bout pasting some rubber pointy ears on, so you can resemble a hobbit. Well Comicon is your chance to join other nerds, errrrrr enthusiasts who share your passion. Every year San Diego Convention center becomes the center of the universe for the comic book industry, and starting in the early eighties hollywood has also been a major player at this expo of all things dorky. Every big studio uses the event to hype up major motion picture releases, and to gauge fan reaction to the material. Star, after star is rolled out infront of a live audience for a Q & A about their latest project. Bad buzz at Comicon can mean instant death for a project, fans rabidly critique every bit of info, and blogs are a driving force that hollywood covets. Look for big announcements all weekend long on such blockbuster wannabes like the Green Hornet, Captain America, Thor, and Batman 3. To me this is just another example of how the geeks have taken the world. Rock on geeks, may you live long and prosper.
