A bit more from the PG

Manga, webcomics fans animate Tekkoshocon in Downtown Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

This is why I say Tekkoshocon is more like a real con than the stuff at Monroeville.

And the Trib has its take on it.

Steel City gets double shot *of pop culture this weekend | TribLIVE

Those photos show why Downtown is where you want your con. The fun of the con is social and people watching...not the "flea" market.

Anyway, it wraps on on Sunday so better luck next year. But if they decide to stretch it into Monday, Sunday becomes an all day celebration too.

I went with my Daughters yesterday.. It was my 3rd time. They had a blast and it is good clean fun. I really like the intimacy of the hotel but it was way too crowded.

There was a cheerleader competition at the same time. The dichotomy was striking. Trying to figure out what was more weird for whom.

They can get a bit racy. At Dragon*Con in Atlanta, I've seen girls with nothing but tape covering their nipples for tops and one girl's top was merely painted over.

That's what's fun about a Con. Acting normal there is being the weirder.
