Good lookin out on that post. I would love to go but I'm just not prepared yet, no costume yet and so on and so on.

On another note if you live close enough to go to this thing, then you probably live close enough to come duel with us sometime!

Check out my post in the Saber-dueling videos thread under Misc. for more info!

Is it you NEED a costume to go? Or that you would just prefer to oonly go if you had one?

Thanks

[Darth Leximus]

I would prefer to go in costume because my planned costume is gonna be SICK! So if I'm gonna spend the money to go I wanna go all out. Plus that weekend is no good for me anyway. Oh well I'll hit the next one, not like it's the last Con ever

I'll be there, but not as my Tusken. I'll be having a table in Artist's Alley.

I was thinking about going. I went last year, but was a bit dissapointed at the lack of costumed presence there. Maybe I went on an off day. But ya, look for me. I probably wont be in costume. But Ill most likely be wearing a star wars shirt with either a Samurai Stormtrooper on it or a shirt advertising Tosche Station Power Converters.
Like these...

Hope to see y'all there.

It would probably be easier to spot me, I don't know how warm it will be in there, so I'm sure my lenses will be fogged up in no time. http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

Change of plan. My Girlfriend decided to go to the show dressed as Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. So to compliment her, I'm going as Kurtis Trent, a male counterpart from the series. Here's a pic...

Sorry to derail things here, but have you ever tried that anti-fog liquid that scuba divers use on their masks?

I was there Friday only, damn, I would have liked to see your girlfriend dressed as my favorite game dame. http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

The Master Replicas Vader Lid has perfectly clear lenses, but they are screened, so condensation fills up the screen holes, then it clogs them, on the outside the water collecting in the holes makes the lenses look mirrored.



Here's some shots from the con. -Starting with me, and my NEW apprentice -DARTH G http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Man I wish I could find a con...the D.C. area has nothing to offer. Wolverine, it looks like a lot of fun, plus you have proven one thing, VADER IS TALLER THAN GODZILLA! You can push him around and make fun of him, "your mothra so fat..." ok, cheasy joke...dig the pics^^

[SilentBob501]

Aww man, cant believe we missed you. I kept looking for Vader, but there was none to be found :(

Heres a pic of my GF's Lara...
