Not exactly a stranger to “strange” (after all, I lived in the frozen dead guy town for 20 years) some of Denver’s most popular events are, in my book, pretty out there.  But I love these events for they represent the spirit and diversity of Denver. You really don’t have to fit the mold here.

This year I discovered “Comic Con”, a convention for comic book lovers whose mission statement reads as follows: “Educating children and the general public through comic books and other forms of pop culture, and bringing together the diverse people and interests of our community regardless of age, race, gender or background.” This program of Pop Culture  features the best in comics along with popular sci-fi and fantasy tv shows, movies, Japanese animation, cosplay (fan-created costumes and costumed skits), toys, gaming, and panel presentations.
