My wife and best friend talk convention

• My friend Jay: I'm going to Atlanta, ostensibly to see friends, but also to attend Dragon-Con.
• My wife: What is that?
• My friend Jay: It's 30 to 40,000 nerds in downtown Atlanta enjoying nerdy books and television, rather than comics. I go and enjoy acting like I'm a little bit above it all.
• My wife: Do people dress up like dragons? Is that a dumb question?
• Me: Nope. It's a really good one.
• My friend Jay: Totally valid. It's not like I won't see someone dressed up as a dragon...
• Me: ...it's just that it's not required.
• My friend Jay: Right. You don't have to.
