Awesome Con is where ‘it’s cool to be nerdy’

Thousands are expected to let their geek flags fly this weekend in the nation’s capital at Awesome Con.

For the 11th year, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center plays host to D.C.’s version of Comic Con from Friday to Sunday.

No matter what type of pop culture you are looking for, it will most likely be represented. While walking around the convention center, you’ll likely see people dressed as superheroes (both Marvel and DC), anime characters, video game characters and characters from both Star Wars and Star Trek.
