Namor: *drops by and discovers all four of them in the mid-stages of packing for EerieCon*
Toro: *especially wants to show Freya the Niagara Falls (and also the Niagara Whirlpool), and it's a smaller con than I-CON, which they will go to next*
Namor: *puts up with nearly an hour of finagling to get him to come with, making a Vulcan or Romulan costume or just getting a Starfleet uniform fitted to him would not be that hard, Namor --*
Toro and Freya: *spend about half of their con-time sight-seeing, which neither can really complain about*
I feel like Toro may or may not be systematically showing Freya some of the wonders of the world. Is there a con near the Grand Canyon? X3
Freya: You could fit a HUGE city in there!
Toro: Yeah, but it floods a lot.
Freya: Shame. But it's pretty as is.
Jim: *gets a series of increasingly hilarious photographs with the TNG cast members*
Jim: *has an album of pictures of him and Brent Spiner you can just page through like a flip book, watching Brent age and Jim ...not.
Tara: *finds a small Chekov action figure by the payphones; carries it around all con*
D'AWWW.
By the end of the con, the filkers have found her and Tara now knows all the words to Farewell Mother Russia (http://youtu.be/F0Ytx5w8ebQ) -- which she sings on the ride home while waving the doll in front of her, in true Riker kid-playing-with-dolls style. Freya thinks this is hilarious. Toro thinks Bucky and/or Natasha are probably going to do terrible things to him for letting this come about, but is too happy/tired to care. Jim posts a video to youtube.
Namor's bat'leth is promptly waterproofed and added to his collection of Atlantean and surface weaponry, displayed prominently. Namora just manages not to giggle the first time she spots it.
Toro probably has a few different costumes that he rotates: a sciences red-jacket movie uniform, a TOS medical outfit that can very easily be adapted to be Bones, and a Q judge costume that was part of a Q judge flash mob at a recent con that he hasn't gotten rid of yet.
For their plainclothes day, he has two "Hello, my name is..." stickers made for he and Freya that introduce them as "George" and "Gracie." They get a lot of high fives.

When Jim started showing up with a full beard, there was a minor gag involving the cast and fake beards for a while. It might have become a meme on the tubes.

Because Jim is totally that dad. XD

There is less mockery when she discovers how useful it is against Atlantean vampires.

Frakes wearing a fake beard over his beard...
Frakes wearing another fake beard over that one...
..>Actualyl, if Toro grew a beard and went as Riker... huh. That might work.

He so is. XD But he won't be that grandpa! He'll take lots of pictures and videos of the torchling, but there will be a strict ban on posting any of them into the wilds of the internet until the kid is 18. At least. No matter how cute.

Hell YEAH it's useful against Atlantean vampires, son!

it makes the rare occassions when he does choose to indulge them all the more fun

He does try to stay out of the range of spittakes.
