Despite this past weekend being one of the warmest that wasn't also *constantly rainy and humid*, I did not spend any of it in a pool. Which would be tragic but instead I joined almost a thousand people at All Star Comic Con, one of the newest additions to the DMV's geek convention line up.

I haven't been to that many first year conventions, though I guess with three (or four if you count Wicomicon) under my belt I do have a pretty good idea of what I like. All Star excelled at communications and on-site customer service, could have done better at providing a bigger number of diverse (by topic) panels for attendees and seating/accessibility access for any of the activities done in the atrium area. All in all I would give it a B-/B, and would go again in the future.

Also, this root situation. It's getting really real and I should probably do something about that.
