Rock'n Comic Con Monday, May 24, 2010
Cyndi Lauper may have merged rock & roll and wrestling in 1984 when she snagged the WWF's Captain Lou Albano to co-star in her MTV video "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," but self-described e-commerce trend-setter Animation-ink.com has forged the forces of rock & roll and comic books into an unprecedented alliance of ultimate geekery for Rock'n Comic Con 2010. Never mind the dealers, panels and artists alley (de rigueur for sci-fi/fantasy fans), nor the after-hours parties (for whom, exactly?). This con rocks out with its coccyx out when pelvis-pulsing '80s acts like Dramarama, A Flock of Seagulls, and When in Rome take to the stage to perform their greatest hit. Stan Lee's likely to be wandering around, too. Excelsior! Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E. Green St., Pasadena; Fri-Sun., May 28-30; $30, $70 3-day pass; separate admission fee applies to one-hit wonders. Tickets online at rockncomiccon.com. (Originally published in L.A.
