The Dark Side Of The Con |
| Every year, we fans of the
multiple aspects of pop culture are presented with
hundreds of conventions and events to satisfy our
variety of tastes.
Some events are small, more local, and
genre-specific, and others are larger events that draw
people from all around the country.
And then you have the mega-events such as San
Diego ComicCon, which draws people from all around the
world.... |

Brown Bag It!: NYCC 2008 Mr. CONiVERSE |
| New
York Comic Con is the center of universe on the east
coast for everything geeky in comics, movies, books,
video games, etc. If you didn't go to this con
then you may as well have been in a coma for three
days because that's what it would take to stop me from
going in the future. But with all good things
there are bad elements too... |

NYCC 2008
Costumes Of The Con picks! |
After
reviewing all the pictures from the past con and hours of hard
thinking, CONiVERSE is proud to announce our first Costume Of
The Con winners! We decided to exclude 501st and Rebel Legion
costumes (this includes any other professional costuming
group) as well as CONiVERSE staff members from the pick.
Our pick for best male costume was Jamin for his amazing
Kroenen costume. Kroenen was one of the main villains
from the movie Hellboy.

The best female costume went to
Jenn for her Zombie Nurse from the movie/video game Silent
Hill.

Best
costume in the other category went to C.C. Banana for his
banana Iron Man.

Sadly
for our group costumes we don't have the names of the people
in the picture. If you know who they are please e-mail the
webmaster at kickedinthevader@hotmail.com.
What we do know is the characters are from Avatar: The Last
Air Bender. |

you want to go to a convention, but you want the

Article: Mrs. CONiVERSE's First Con |
| Coming up to the Halloween
season in 2006, I decided that I wanted Leia’s gold bikini
from the Star Wars movie.
So, I did my research and attempted to make my own.
I quickly found that it was easier just to buy the
bikini online as opposed to making it..... |
