Oh, that Wonder Man photo hurts my brain. I've never been to a con but will very likely attend DC this year. Based on my conversations with friends, it sounds like the parade would be a lot of fun for the kids. But frankly, I can see my son being twitchy and annoyed in a rambling con setting, and me being worried about him seeing something sketchy (He's 8). I've seen a lot of photos of women with very little on, and I don't want to have to explain to him why "Hermoine" is wearing such a tiny skirt. At least not yet.
