| San Diego on Friday, July 22, 2011 before the convention floor opened. |

Dr. Who crossing.
Even the graffiti at Comic-Con is nerdy. |
|
 |
More Dr. Who. You can tell it's sci-fi because the show takes place in
some alternate universe where people actually use phone booths. |
 |
Disney princesses Snow White, Belle and Ariel.
These cosplayers were actually really, really nice and gracious like real princesses,
but I wished they wore the goofy hats like the ones in Kate and William's royal wedding.

|
 |
| A small Biggie Smalls. Wait, what? My head just exploded. |
 |
After the dinosaur sat on the stool, he busted out a prehistoric guitar
and sang a beautiful acoustic song. So sad he's extinct. |

That's either Mystique or Bondage Smurf.
There's always confusion because the safe word is "Smurfy." |
 |

Shark Week starts on July 31, 2011. To celebrate, Discover Channel had scuba diver
cosplayers hit the floor with remote-controlled, inflatable sharks.
We're gonna need a bigger convention center. |

Character balloons marked the spot for Comedy Central's

The Kenny balloon eventually burst into flames and suffered a horrific Hindenburg fate. |
