Are you aware that Geek Girl Con is happening this weekend? I was down there today with an entourage of 8- and 9-year-olds so I didn't make it to any panels, but we did see plenty of costumes, explored the DIY Science Zone where the kids made slime and learned about genetics and DNA extraction, and checked out the vendors and artists.

The con continues 9 am-7 pm tomorrow, and there are still a limited number of passes at the door as well as select comic and gaming stores. Check out the Geek Girl Con web site for more details!

And here are a few of the fabulous costumes from today (I apologize for the occasionally crappy quality of my sad little point-n-shoot):
