Scene from a comic book convention.

Well, a potential one. Apparently, it looks like there’s going to be a heavy presence at this year’s Comic-Con of a hitherto-unknown, Twilight-focused demographic – FlickFilsopher calls them ‘girls and women’ – and there’s some concern over the inevitable disruptions.  Personally, I’ve never had any trouble as an adult in finding women to date (and one to marry) who shared geek interests; the fact that somebody’s swearing at the screen in response to that brag right now suggests that maybe more people should be focusing on the positive elements of this story.

Because I’m pretty sure that my teen-aged self would have considered a comic-book convention that had a lot of girls my age there too to be Shangri-La.
