Hey, everyone. It was cool to meet IronJoe. Too bad I didn't meet many others. That con gets soo busy, it's easy not to come across people even if you're there all three days.

How many of you had hotel rooms? I've always driven down from my home or crashed at a friend's place. But after this year, I really think I'm going to get a hotel room for next year.

We do hotel rooms. I can't recommend the Sheraton. Their beds aren't quite as hard as concrete, but they're not far off. if you can, go for the Grand Hyatt. They're not that expensive and they're far more comfortable, in my experience.

we ( r2 builders ) had a great time at the con as always. It's amazing how big this show has gotten

 

[IronJoe]

Also, I realize I snagged a pic of IronJoe in his batsuit without registering that he was a fellow RPFer. You looked outstanding, Joe!

Hey thanks!! I'd love to see any pictures, we were so busy I didn't get a chance to get very many


Great to meet you WeaponX82! Somehow I missed you the rest of the weekend, I was hoping to get a picture with you in your costume but that didn't happen. I can't believe I was there all three days and still missed so much!

It was SO amazing to see the work you all do! My son went absolutely nuts

 

[The Schlitzie]

It looked pretty badass! (somebody caught a pic of us Saturday, chatting it up)

How's Ryan's Mars Attacks alien coming along? I thought he was working on that for ECCC.

Here was a shot of us taking a break from a photoshoot



The astromechs were awesome!

Your Skeksi looks really awesome!

Well that's cool. Glad to meet up with you for a few minutes. If you're local we should link up.

I was wearing a Spidey4fun suit when I met Nick Fury and Scarlet Spider wearing a Spidey4fun suit as well. We didn't chat much, but it's always nice to meet new people.

Here are a few other pictures of my son dressed up as Deadpool with various characters.

 

[Avalyn]

There were SO MANY AMAZING COSTUMES this year! I couldn't even get around to see them all! For the people I did get to meet from RPF and Instagram it was really cool to see them and their amazing costumes in person, completed, like General Zod, Warrior Ariel and Ursula, and @Kites (Pacific Rim). I can't wait to wear my Barbarian armor again too, maybe do a photoshoot and get some good pictures.

 

[theduggo]

Your Buzz was fantastic, Duggo. My editor, Quiana, who was at the table with me when you came by, was absolutely blown away that you built it yourself!

Schlitzie, I saw you and the other Dark Crystal folk on 6 as I was hurrying to try to get a Karl Urban auto before he left Sunday (that didn't pan out, sadly), and I managed to get a great pic of you guys.

Also, I realize I snagged a pic of IronJoe in his batsuit without registering that he was a fellow RPFer. You looked outstanding, Joe!

This was SUCH an awesomely crazy con this year, I can't even fully articulate it... I feel like I could sleep for at least 2 days, but there's no rest for the wicked. I'm back to the day job tomorrow. :sleep

Thanks! Very cool to hear you guys liked it

 

[firesprite]

Ok, here are the pics I managed to grab this year. Forgive the quality somewhat, as all I had was my phone.


Cap and Peggy were, hands down, my favorite couples costume of the con.




Absolutely gorgeous Psylocke.


I love that this guy actually looks rather like Andre!


Lady Cap was sporting an aircraft aluminum shield and looked pretty awesome, IMO!


A pack of AIM lackeys was up to no good!


But Prince T'challa was on their tail...


... with his lady love providing backup!


I caught up with Jadzia while running between the convention center where our panels were and the conference center where our table was located.


IronJoe's awesome Batman!


A gorgeous Huntress!


theduggo's Buzz with Woody!


Schlitzie's Skeksis and the rest of the Dark Crystal group.


"CHIEF!!!"


A slightly dressed-down Black Widow (It was toward the end of the day Sunday and she was roasting in that suit and wig, so I can't blame her).


And, saving the best for last, the cutest little Raven EVAR!!

 

[ImThatGuy]

Wish we could have had a meet up. There were awesome costumes there and the costume contest was great

 

[Notbob]

We were the AIM lackey's! And we were up to plenty good.......

 

[ImThatGuy]

You guys were great

I was so excited to see that pack of yellow jumpsuits. One of you even commented on it after I got the pic.

A Captain America asked us who we were. I cried. Then I told him to turn in his badge and go home. He can come back when he knows who his villains are. A little girl asked if we were from Monsters Inc. I cried. So I am really glad there were people out there who appreciated us! I'm probably the one who talked to you. It looks like you were down by Kevin J Anderson?

Thanks!

I was a couple tables down from him, yes!

 

[The Schlitzie]

Aww! We must have walked right past you guys!:wacko

[weaponx82]

Hey firesprite! That's my Batman. Not Ironjoe's

And I had no idea that was you! I have to be more mindful when I'm at these cons.

D'oh! My apologies. It was an awesome suit.

Somehow I'm not at all surprised that a lot of the costumes that caught my eye the most came from RPFers!
