Gabriel Carrasco, 22, and Jacqueline Gonzales, 22, both of Norfolk, California, wander outside the San Diego Convention Center.

SAN DIEGO — For some nerds, this is homecoming. Each year, tens of thousands of geeks (and wannabe geeks) descend on Comic-Con International to enjoy the myriad pop-culture pleasures of the conference.

But sometimes having free reign to be oneself has its downside.

“We really just want to change out of our costumes so we can see the show without getting stopped for photos every two minutes,” said Jacqueline Gonzales, a 22-year-old from Norfolk, California, who came dressed as a jester.

To get a taste of all that Comic-Con has to offer, Wired.com hit the floor of the San Diego Convention Center to find out what people are wearing and what they’re geeking out over.
