We've been to a lot of comic cons, but there's a new one I've just heard about that's giving me pangs of regret for missing: Senior Living Comic-Con.

Less than an hour drive south from Seattle, an assisted living home is hosting its first-ever comic convention for its residents, dubbed Senior Living Comic-Con. The White River Assisted Living & Memory Care is setting up this Saturday, June 6, for a one-day comic convention with artists, vendors, and I can imagine a few costumes and a lot of comics talk. Two of the staff there have already dressed up as Super Madalyn and Pop Art Juanita and have been spotted downtown drumming up interest. I'd tell you their secret identities, but then it wouldn't be a secret, would it?

White River Assisted Living & Memory Care is located in Enumclaw, Washington, just a short drive from either Seattle or Tacoma. The name of the town is practically superheroic; it comes from the Sahaptin word /inɨmɬá/, meaning "he who makes noise" — referring to the myth of Emunclaw and Kapoonis, two brothers who were turned into thunder and lightning by their father.

More details on Enumclaw's Senior Living Comic-Con are available on this Facebook invite, and there is no admission to the event. If you're reading this, you are probably a bit of a pop culture expert already, so don't forget that volunteering to help them this weekend would be a rewarding experience as well.
