This weekend the hotels are sold out, the Gas Lamp district is crawling with Lord of the Rings and Star Wars characters! You could say Halloween has come early this year, but no, it's ComiCon. People dress up in their favorite comic book character super-hero outfit and go to the convention center where vendors are set up to sell you super-hero paraphernalia, posters, video games, and of course comic books and magazines. I guess if you're you are bored with your own life you can always pretend to have some world saving hero life. And you have to pay through the nose for these pretend lives. One VIP pass for one day is $150. Someone is making some serious money on this stuff! I guess people really are that bored. Well at least it's entertaining for those of us who work downtown.
