Convention Fanboyism

While I had refused to post anything else until the ridiculous "Random Cat of The Day" was gone, I couldn't help this one.

So after watching much of the Democratic National Convention and now the Republican one I can't help but notice the enthusiasm of the people that attend. How many old ladies with hats can actually fit in one room? The tradition of this astounds me. I wish it would die but we all know it never will. For a few short hours a night I actually hate the colors Red, White, and Blue. While I think this will top the list, I'm trying to think of other events where people gather with as much excitement and costumes more than at a National Convention. Here's what I've got so far:

•A New Batman/Star Wars Movie

•Comic Con

•Any Women's Ministry Event (especially around Christmas)

I'd put an any Apple event, obviously for the excitement, but there is a lack of costumes - unless you count the number of black turtlenecks.

What am I missing???
