I know there are SCIFI enthusiast conventions where the folks show up dressed as their favorite SCIFI figger. When my son was 12 we lived very near a hotel that hosted one. We were curious so we walked over, went in and just looked around. We stuck out like sore thumbs. EVERYONE was in costume. Very weird. They didn't charge us to get in. There were tons of tables filled with merchandise you could buy of course. If you remember the original Star Wars bar scene with all the strange and creepy critters? Well that's what was there. We left. We were way out of place. The one and only SCIFI convention I ever attended. Don't know if my kid ever attended another one as an adult. I didn't ask. It was a very discombobulating experience. Ever been to one?
