You forgot about the festival in Great America. Filipino festival to be exact. Somewhere on the month of August I think. Come meet there at the food stand. :D

Quoted 4 emphasis -

Anyone who thinks that Sac Con is a respectable con is kidding themself. :P
Enough teeny boppers and wanna be gangsters is reason enough I wouldnt goto that Con even if you paid me to.

with that said, I think it should be left of the list too.

Sorry BumbleB, you're out on a limb with this one.
*shakes head, walks away*


on a better note,
Comic Con
Ren Faire

and you totally forgot International Pirate Day [and festival]!
if anything u should add that to the list.

Can I invade pirate day and dress as a ninja? >:D

[HentaiTentacleDemon]

Most of them probably wouldn't get the joke,
although it would be funny to see a Space Pirate there.
