But these days, comic books are only a part of it. It's also science fiction and hero movies, Marvel stories and Star Wars and DC and all of that. And it's all that nerdy kind of pop culture-y stuff. And there's a lot of cosplay that happens. So people will dress up as their favorite cartoon character or superhero or some obscure character. And some of them are super creative.

And some people are there for the content of the convention. And some people are there just to walk around in costume and have fun. And what's so wonderful about it is it's an incredibly polite group of people. So if you are in a great costume where you see someone who's in a great costume and you want to have a picture with them or they want a picture with you, everybody asks.

Everybody goes, can I have a picture with you, please? Or hey, may I have a picture with you, please? And so there's a lot of interaction. You can go up to somebody and say, I love your costume. and they will be friendly back. There's not a lot of cynicism. I met one of my ex-girlfriends there.

And she goes, absolutely. We took a picture together, because I just loved her costume. I don't remember how the conversation started, but we ended up talking a little bit for just a few minutes. I don't know how we got to it, but we ended up trading phone numbers. And then we ended up having sort of a really great relationship.

I think when you go to places where people like the things you like, it's going to increase the odds. And it's not that you increase the odds that you'll find deep, meaningful relationships, but it makes it easier to break the ice. To just get started. To get started.

They live up there. You guys will get along.
