It's freaking awesome is what it is, because this past weekend I headed up to Dallas Comic Con with Jessica Lee Anderson, Madeline Smoot (awesome publisher of CBAY books), and Denise Getson for an amazing time.
I have finally found my peeps.
*****
I give you the Top Ten Reasons to go to Dallas Comic Con (with pictures):
1) When you drive up from Austin, you get to stop in Italy, Texas, home of the Starship Pegasus.
Madeline Smoot tells me this used to be part of a mini-golf course.
My daughter took this picture of me and Jessica Lee Anderson. We asked, "how is it?"
She said, "it's great...except there aren't any heads."
2) Finally getting my Starfleet Academy car sticker I've wanted forever.
Serious Star Trek heaven3) Being able to dress like a Greek Goddess and have a beautiful display of all my books!
Thank you to Madeline Smoot for such a great display and booth!4) Hanging out with other Greek deities all day, and not even getting turned into stone.
Me, Madeline (as Medusa), and Jessica Lee Anderson5) Getting awesome artwork!
My family picked this out for me. Best. Picture. Ever.6) Meeting an angry Klingon who only wanted to eat his hot dog in peace.
We approached him right after he got out of the hour-long line for food.Finding out he wasn't really angry at all!
Look how much happier he is now.(p.s. Thanks to Shane Dison for all the pics!)
7) Did I mention photo opportunities?
It wouldn't have been Comic Con without Darth Vader. 
Emperor's Royal Battle Guard!Think this costume is pretty sweaty?
Thanks to Lance Marcus for the pic!
8) Having someone make the "Who Mourns for Adonis" reference before me!
Thanks, Steven House!9) Live sales for SOLSTICE a la Nook (and taking pictures while they happened)!
Thank you to Teresa Rollins BoullionRealizing Comic Con is filled with people who read ebooks!
Thanks, Aaron C!10) Finding out SOLSTICE is the newest hot read no matter what galaxy you're from!
He's thinking, "That is the nicest cover I've ever seen."And then he's marking it on his Goodreads to-be-read list.
Wait, I just wanted to try the helmet on!

I love this so very, very much! Thanks for letting me join in the fun!
Jessica, it would not have been the same without you! Thank you for going!
Wow, awesome costume!
Sounds like fun. Awesome they have it in Dallas.
AHAHAHAHA!! I laughed so hard at these pictures, I actually started wheezing. I can't decide which is best: you getting between a KLINGON and his food (are you INSANE?) or you almost getting shot by the stormtrooper.
Looks like you had an awesome time!
Thanks, Gaby! It's so much fun to dress up!
It was a great time, Natalie! And yes, Dallas is so close!
Miriam, you would love Comic Con. Do I see it in your future?
Those are all very cute pictures. Such enthusiasm. Don't we all love dressing up? Everyone looks so happy.
I love all the pics! What a fun event!
You goddesses look beautiful!
And I love the stormtrooper with Solstice!
There is nothing quite like dressing up, I agree!
Thank you, Kelly! I think it's his favorite book. And if he likes it, then every single clone should like it, too, right?
Okay, this is just the coolest post EVER!
Love your costume! And I am positively GREEN that you got to try on a stormtrooper helmet!!
Lucky!
I thought you would like it, Shelley!
