Close enough. We did our Sandman and Red Tornado costumes in Atlanta, the first weekend in September. It was in the mid-90s most days. Even in April, when we go to Pittsburgh, they're still plenty warm.
Yeah, Ma Hunkel wasn't an official JSA member. She wasn't invited to the first meeting, and tried to sneak in the window. Her pants got stuck on a nail and ripped off, forcing her to wrap her cape around herself. Jay offers to take her cape for her, and she leaves in a hurry. Later, they find her pants still stuck in the window and have a good laugh.
Ma's kind of been retconned to be a little less silly, and kind of an honorary member - kind of a Rosie the Riveter type. In fact, her origin does list her as being a riveter in a factory at some point. She appears in annuals where she
teamed up with other Golden Age heroes.
Now, she's the caretaker for the JSA Headquarters.

im from middle Georgia and have been here all my life but have never had enough adventure in me to go to Dragoncon. I have really got to go someday. I have heard (not sure if its true) that its not as fun as it once was because its more media instead of comic inspired now and not as many of the comic professionals go to them anymore. I still think it would be enjoyable just for the crowd.

Sadly, that can be said about a lot of big conventions, to some extent. San Diego was more about movie and TV promotion and celebrities than Star Wars, comics, or anything else I go to conventions for.
But D*C is still very fan-based. It's more of a celebration of fandom than an old-fashioned comic book convention. There were a lot of professionals and panels, although they weren't all comic book-related. I got to meet several members of MST3k as well as Ashley Eckstein, which was awesome for me. The comic book shopping wasn't great, I will say.

Looks like a lot of fun and yes, your Ma Hunkel costume is fantastic!

I also enjoyed the woman dressed as Supergirl. Very Mego! I just hope she didn't lose her slippers

She was my favorite of the Supergirls, for that reason. I told her about the Mego Supergirl, and she thought it was cute that they made the doll in that costume.
