Conversation:
I would like to go to the San Diego comic con one day.  have you ever been?
I have not, although I understand its a multi-genre entertainment and also comic convention.
I have seen on the internet that people dress up as their favorite characters.  Would i be out of place if i dressed up like Mr. Pickles, the dog from the cartoon network?
I'm not sure of the approved outfits for it but if you manage to go, there is a pre-event called "Preview Night" that happens on Wednesday evening.
I guess I'll have to see if I get lucky. Are there similar events like it?

Response: Certainly! Other noteworthy comic conventions are the New York Comic Con and Dragon Con in Atlanta
