After seeing the posts from Dallas Comic Con today posted by the lovely merindab, I am considering going to one myself at some point. The last time I attended a science fiction convention was in (counts on fingers) 1982. It was very cool—I met Douglas Adams, Harlan Ellison and Jim Henson and saw props from the upcoming Star Wars movie (still called “Return of the Jedi” rather than “Revenge of the Jedi)—but I haven’t been back to once since.
So, question—if it’s a Comic con that covers mainly comics and science fiction, can I still go dressed as Nanny Ogg? Is comic fantasy allowed?
You can totally go as that. I’ve seen Ford and Arthur, Radagast and Gandalf… a Spaceball and Sims. Reallly anything goes. Might not get recognized, but by all means, dress what you want.
Also I am totally jealous you got to meet that lineup of people! My parents took me a Doctor Who convention in 1986 and I recall seeing I think Tom Baker from a distance, but we didn’t wait in line for autographs or anything.
