An amazingly talented person died today.  You will likely not see another like him in your lifetime.  It is one thing to be the best in the world, but another to be the best in the world for over a generation.  This music might even be fitting for the pictures here.


Dragon*con is where you will find it all.  EVERYBODY.  I like to think I saw one of everything during the weekend....even if I didn't get a picture of it.

Helpful Tips.... for Dragon*con


Sadly (or for some of you luckily), you will run across those individuals that are out for a grab of a pretty girl or a guy.  KNOW how to defend yourself.


Brian here didn't and he got grabbed!!  Be careful.


The best defense is to grab the hand for the shoot.  A hand in your hand is one that will not be wayward.  Being closer in will also limit what they can do... especially if you are taller than them.  Be careful out there. ;p

The first pictures are from Order of the Stick, which is quite good.

I thought the Slumber Party Massacre guy was from Guitar Hero.

I'm on the left of Matt Foley in a binome costume (from Reboot) that is in a Quake 3 costume.

The Sylvester Stallone movie you can't remember may be Demolition Man. It is set in a very polite future.

Mussolini is a brilliant idea for a costume.

There were some other amazing ones too that I just didn't get the chance to shoot. Including this one guy who was dressed like Jesse Ventura's character from Predator with the huge Gatling Gun. Guy was HUGE!!!

The Sylvester Stallone movie you can't remember is indeed Demolition Man. He's dressed as Stallone's character or as just a cop. (They all are dressed pretty much the same...) He's a cop from the San Angeles PD. And I'm so glad you got a picture of him. I missed him because he was going down and I was going up and then didn't see him again that day.

That guy took pictures of me in my imperial officer uniform. He's a part of the 501st in North Carolina. I wish I could remember his name. Thanks. :D

TIME BANDITS COSPLAY YESSS.

Ya know, the first cosplay my fiance did was Cassidy from the Preacher, and NOBODY recognized him. He needs a group, that's what he needs.

Dude, that's an awesome Robocop!! Now I just need to a cosplay of shot-up Murphy. XDDD

Shot up Murphy would be helarious... but you need Clarence and his gang to go with you. ;p Maybe even Digby from "I'd buy that for a Dollar". LMAO

Oh sheesh, I've got to get to Dragon Con... thought I wouldn't know what to wear. Everything I have is anime related...Eh, I could something non-anime together. ^_^ !!

[info]bobbarker at 2007-09-10 02:48 (UTC) (Link)
I think you would really like the con. I did see a number of anime costumes there. Are there any science fiction movies/series that you are really into?

The Dude Abides

That Sirius Black looks more like the Dude. And if you don't know who THE DUDE is...well, I pity you.

It wasn't the worst of the pictures Brian. You had a different expression for each of the seven taken. ;p

Awesome costumes. I've seen a few from Amazon Mandy's journal too -- a whole contingent of Spartans?

My favorite pics from this group, I'm sorry to admit, are the ones that took the least craftsmanship -- that amazing dead-on Hot Fuzz pair, and the Yatta!Hiro.

I am working my way through Heroes right now. :D And Hot Fuzz was one of the best movies of the year. I can't wait to see what those guys make next.

You are talking about Mandy's website right? She puts a little more on her journal. :p

[info]kiryuutougasama was showing me some photos off her journal -- he's also a friend of hers (he encouraged me to contact her on the same post in my journal you did).
