Are you ready for cosplayers to take over downtown this weekend? Jackie Canchola

Emerald City Comicon starts today, March 2, and weekend tickets are sold out (although some are still available for today). But whether you didn't get tickets and are feeling left out of all the geekiness that's going to be happening in town this weekend or you do have tickets and are looking to maximize your involvement in said geekiness, you're in luck. There are lots of nerdy, Comicon-related events (both official and unofficial) happening that you can still go to, including ECCC Creator Week at Outsider Comics, a cosplay afterparty at the Hard Rock, the Qomix Queer Mixer at Raygun Lounge, and a Villains and Heroes Avengers burlesque show at Rendezvous. See them all on our Emerald City Comicon calendar.
