Mark II armor on display

Hey kids! I was in New York this weekend and spent an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art -- Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy is one of the special exhibits, and I wasn't about to miss that!

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it here before, but the Mark II armor (worn by RDJ during shooting) is on display as part of the exhibition, as is as an original copy of Tales of Suspense #39. Holy cats, was it cool! I'd post pics, but the security staff were insistent that I put the camera away. Jerks.

Anyway, if you can get into New York before Sept. 1, the exhibit is really interesting. The Met suggests a $20 donation for entry (this covers the whole museum), but I was down to $5 disposable cash, and that was fine with them. Be as generous as you can afford to be, though -- the museum is a treasure that deserves your support.
