Things I Learned at Austin ComicCon 2012

• A cheap wedding dress + a Star Trek communicator does not a costume make.
• One can have too much Bazinga.

• Sir Patrick Stewart puts a sweater on one arm at a time like the rest of us.
• Craig Parker lets his fans sing Time Warp in his Q&A.
• It’s easier to spot celebrities if they’re carrying a large bag of BBQ.
• Ghostbusters are really popular again? (At least in Houston.)
• Barbie dolls can do very disturbing things to one another.
• If Commander Data wants us to do “the wave”, we do the wave.
• Levar goes commando when he wears jeans.
• If you are a man and you insist on wearing your Wonder Woman costume, take the time to shave your chest…please.
• $85K worth of Starfleet uniforms traded for Kitt car = buying 2 Star Trek action figures and getting a Riker one for free
• Having a Klingon wear tights and a hat with a feather doesn’t make him one of Robin Hood’s Merry Men. It makes him a Klingon pimp.
