For, 2011, MarsCon2011 was once more at the Holiday Inn in Bloomington, MN from March 4th thru March 6th, 2011.  But now it was the Crowne Plaza (new owners).  And of course, the Prop-a-torium was now FIVE years old.  Man, does time fly when you're having fun.  As usual, I wore my Indy Gear and the Penguin also made an appearances at the Con this year.  The Minnesota Superheroes United group had a Green Lantern Party Room to gear up for the new up and coming Green Lantern movie this summer.  Lots of fun.  Lots of great props.  And a great weekend.  Just click on the photos below for their full size shot.
