Wish I’d known about the first Comic-Con in New York City earlier than, oh, the week before it happened: it sounds like it was a ton of fun. Says ManhattanOffender.com:
The ambience, a cross between islamic fundamentalism and pure camp, is catching and mystifying at the same time.
(ManhattanOffender.com has lots of pix and junk.)
This is major evidence of the triumph of the geeks:
The Javits Center was packed tight all weekend for the first New York Comic-Con—as Newsarama reports, Saturday's crowds were, thanks to an aggressive local media campaign, "not a lot in terms of a comic book convention, but a lot in terms of a rock show." As people lined up all over the front of the convention center, the earliest panels began before many fans had even gotten onto the main floor; the show had completely sold out by 12:30 and state police were keeping a tight rein on people coming in and out of the exhibition.

Like a rock show.
