Hallowe'en 2003: Welcome to the "Lesser-Known Superhero
Convention" where you can purchase many Superhero Essentials, such as
Crime Computers, Capes, Rocket Powered Vehicles, Masks, Butlers, Secret
Cave Timeshares, Grappling Hooks, etc. While there, attend one of
the many lectures on things like "How to Sneak Around Town Effectively",
"Cover Identities Workshop: Glasses and Sports Coats- Why They Work", "Let
the Judge Decide: How to Interface with Local Law Enforcement", "Holy
Lecture Talk, Batman! (What Your Tagline Says About You)" and more.
It is a place where Superheroes learn about crime fighting innovations,
eat canapés and network. We had an elaborate soundtrack, which
included the obvious "It's Not Easy to be Me" by Five for Fighting and
"Believe It Or Not I'm Walking On Air" by Joey Scarbury, but also such
songs as "Rescue Me" sung by Aretha Franklin, "Wind Beneath My Wings" (Did
you ever know that you're my heeeeeerrrroooooooo?) and, of course, several
TV superhero songs, including the Superchicken Theme song.
We tried to get our pictures taken with -real- Superheroes that showed up
"Bat Man", "Hulk" etc... but the kids all seemed too frightened. When
we asked for their autographs, etc, they were just confused/impatient
for candy.
