My question is really for my daughter Zoe. She is 13 and I was wondering how do you get started on costume and makeup design? She has expressed interest in learning but I have no experience myself so I have no idea where to start.

That is what I have heard about San Diego Comic Con. From my understanding it is getting better since they have more going on outside the convention.

Might be a good one to take my peoples to since I am not that far from Seattle and I am surrounded by a lot of estrogen anyway.

I have never been to a "Con" of any sort. What was the best one any of you have experienced? When and why would you say that particular one was the best experience?
