I heard about the trouble on Friday. This was all mentioned in the literature on the website, as well as covered multiple times in registration. Crazy that they thought they could just waltz in and flaunt the rules.

I was more than pleased to see all the kids there as well. Glad that the torch is to be passed. I was dressed as Kingpin on Saturday evening... specifically what he was wearing in the last episode of 'Hawkeye'. I was chatting about this same topic and the other person mentioned something about being a bit wary of kids walking around without escort. I replied that only a freaking moron would dare to try anything with anywhere from 5 to 35 people standing around with swords and axes and who would gladly jump at an excuse to use them. (LOL.) Plus, everyone there would protect any young attendee without hesitation, so they are very safe at the Con.

Your outfit was very nice. I had a great idea for there Masquerade but was unable to finish it due to a shoulder injury. I will be doing it next year. I will have to repair my 'Dr. Killinger' costume as it was being very difficult. Already looking forward to the next one. And, it will be in July, as it used to be. Should be great!
