We have already posted a bunch about the Philadelphia Comic Con thrown by Wizard and there is much more to follow.  I for one am fairly shocked by how much I came away with.  If you read this site for the comic book content, you don’t even know who I am.  If you know who I am from reading the site, you know that I am not a comic book fan.  In fact, we had cards printed up to hand out and one of my dislikes listed was comics.  Anyway.  My overall view of the Con… was that it was not about comics.  I had a great time, but I am completely exhausted.  And man, this all made blogging seem like so much work.

South Korea 2 – 0 Greece

If you’ve been paying any attention, you know that we spent our weekend deep in geekiness.  The Philadelphia ComicCon, formerly known as Wizard World, took place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  I tagged along because I wanted to be a good reporter and because the boys needed a cub photographer.  Luckily for me, comics seemed to be one of the last things on the agenda at the convention.  I felt a little silly passing out cards that clearly stated my dislikes included comics, but was redeemed by the many people enjoying my title of “token girl”.   There will be more to follow on everyone’s thoughts on ComicCon tomorrow, but I needed to sneak a post in tonight because I had an agenda.
