I've never been to San Diego Comic Con. However, I've been to enough cons that I can tell you that there is a tremendous amount of truth in the following jests:
From College Humor -
"The 7 Parents You'll See at Comic Con"(For the record, my dad was #2, minus the costuming.)
From Dorkly -
"Fifteen People You'll See at Every Nerd Convention" Also from Dorkly -
"17 More Peopl You See at Every Nerd Convention" From Cracked -
"Who Actually Goes to Comic-Con [CHART]" * It's short for "convention," if you were wondering, not a reference to being a "convict" or a "confidence man."
