I live in south Miami and I'd never seen so many men in drag! Seriously. Megacon SUX! Come see me at supercon in July. Now that's a frigging con worth my clean underwear! /rant]
I just drove back to MIA from Orlando. Well, I cannot say I agree with your entire rant, and you made some valid points, but hey, everyone perceives something different. My take this year:
1) Still a lot of costumes but it did not seem as much as last couple of years. Even fewer JOE related costumes for sure.
2) I did some real damage on the main point: comic books. scored some vintage and recent back issues for great prices.
3) I got signed autographs from Michael Dorn (i.e. Lt. Worf from TNG) and from Stan Lee (which to me, is priceless).
4) I also met Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers), Jonathan Frakes (Cpt William T. Riker- TNG), and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi - TNG). I find it funny how everyone has the same reaction when they see these aging actors -"OMG look how old they are!" - everyone ages and gets old and DIES. It is a fact of life.
5) The GI JOE pickings were very very slim - there were a couple of merchants selling 25th stuff, and nothing new. There was one or two merchants that had a ton of loose vintage 80's Joes in plastic bags. I didn't bother. In this aspect, I agree that this show is mostly useless if you are hunting for Joes stuff.
I'll post some the "choice" pics I took yesterday a little later today.
