‘Twas the weekend before Comic-Con, and all through the land, the masses descended, badges in hand. They come to the Gaslamp, which isn’t too odd. They know what to look for, cuz they’re reading this blog. We have crochet and artists and an avenger who’s toxic. Read on, dear reader, to follow our logic.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
