Countdown to Comic-Con: Go!
Why go to Comic-Con International 2010? Simple: How-to seminars. From the official online program guide at Comic-Con.org:
5:00-6:00 Costuming for Conventions— Fan costuming veterans will help you with all you need to know for making a great costume for strolling around a convention. They cover everything from choosing a costume and knowing what fabrics work best to posing for photos and general tips for wearing a costume around the exhibit floor. Presented by Masquerade assistant Melissa Gene Meyer, professional promotional costumer Chris Richard, and award-winning masquerade costumer Catherine Fisher. Room 8Good luck, costumers. We'll be keeping an eye out for future achievements.
How many other heroes could you catch a candidly shopping in their fighting togs? You won't catch Superman in a Wal-Mart check out line. Booster Gold at WonderCon 2010 photo by uncle_shoggoth as posted at flikr.com.

Countdown to Comic-Con: 0
Comic-Con International 2010 starts today at 10AM (not counting last night's preview, of course), and Justice League: Generation Lost writer Judd Winick will be among the DC writers at the "DC Writer's Unite!" panel starting at 10:15. By the time you read this, throngs of well-costumed men and women should be streaming into the San Diego Convention Center. Know that Boosterrific supports you, the costumed fan!
This is about as good a Booster Gold costume as you are ever likely to see. Boosterrific! Booster Gold at Comic-Con 2008 photo by GoofyGoof as posted at flikr.com.

Countdown to Comic-Con: 1 (+New Releases!)
Booster Gold plays a role in Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1 and Power Girl #14, both released today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.
Do you know what else makes Skeets happy? Costumes! Comic-Con International 2010 starts tomorrow, and we're still showing our support.
This is not the best costume execution, but you've got to give this guy credit for attempting to get away with gold trackpants. Plus, he's got Skeets! Booster Gold at Comic Con 2007 photo by platypusofdoom as posted at flikr.com.
Apparently, it's been a long, hard night. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold in 2007 photo by jarko314 as posted at flikr.com.

Something is not quite right about this pair. Hmm. Can't quite put my finger on it.... It must be Booster's read hair. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold at DragonCon 2006 photo by FotoToad as posted at flikr.com.

Countdown to Comic-Con: 3
Only 3 days until Comic-Con International 2010, the single largest comic book convention Hollywood advertisement on the planet! Since nothing says comic book convention like fan costumes, let's celebrate the week with some fan-made costumes worn by some real fans. We'll show those Hollywood phoneys that real heroes don't wear black leather!
With that head in the way, it's just like being in the press corps thronging the Corporate Crusader, no? Booster Gold at Comic-Con 2006 photo by prismcomics as posted at flikr.com.
It looks like both of our heroes are wearing their costumes over their civilian clothes instead of the more common other way around, but maybe that's what it takes to get Booster such a stylish collar. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold at Comic-Con 2006 photo by Reliable Comics as posted at flikr.com.
