How nerdy and/or geeky was your weekend?

I'm in charge of posting today, but sadly I have nothing truly awesome to report.

I am thus going to encourage each and every one of you (all three) to go forth and do what you want, without shame. This weekend I went to Emerald City Comicon with friends, and it was the best time ever. Let your nerd hang out!

Leonard Nimoy was there! "Hi, I'm 79, still hot, incredibly charming and warm, articulate, an actor, poet, amazing photographer, and how are you today?" Handled even the Crazy Fans (tm) with grace.

Also, you know, Wil Wheaton, and Stan Lee was around, and Lou Ferrigmo, and Aaron Douglas (can you identify these men [sadly, most of the major celebrities were men]? check the end of the post if you can't!).

Anyway, this isn't meant to be a "What I Did With My Weekend" essay. Look, pictures of people in awesome costumes:
