This past Saturday I went with two of my good friends, Rene and Ed, out for a bit of a geek field trip. For the first time this year in Anaheim, CA WonderCon was held instead of its past location in Northern California. To those of you that don't know what Wondercon is, it's a comic book convention. Nerds gather to talk shop, debate over who would win in a fight, and show their costumes off to each other. It's by the same people that do Comic-Con only much smaller. It's a fun spectacle to look at and I enjoy it because its a great chance to pick up a couple new books to read at a cheaper price as well as see some interesting art.
Anyway, the day started out kind of rainy and gross so the three of us decided to stop and get breakfast together before we hit the show floor. We ate at a Denny's nearby. Denny's isn't really known for being the best food in the world and not always the fanciest in appearance either. But to my low carb readers out there I will say this, Denny's knows how to give options. If you want a low carb breakfast you can't beat the Grand Slam. At Denny's they allow you to "build your own" by picking out 4 items for your breakfast. So if you want a plate of eggs, bacon, and sausage you can have it. Maybe just a plate of bacon. Fresh fruit? How about sausage and eggs only. Its all up to you. You wont get stuck with pancakes or hash browns you wont eat. You'll get everything you need. And its reasonably priced.

Anyway, After breakfast was done we headed over to the convention hall to see the show. I have to say, it was pretty entertaining. They is a lot to look at, and if you really want to immerse yourself in geek things this is the place to do it. We saw Jedis, Ninjas, Zombies, and other characters that I didn't not understand. Actions figures abounded and comic books were everywhere. Seems like the hot character to be this year was somebody from Adventuretime show on Cartoon Network. Anyway here are some quick photos I snapped.
p.s. By the way, I feel the I should mention the Mustache I have in these photos. It's for the play I am in. It is not a lifestyle choice.
