The first one I've ever attended. Meeting Shawnee Smith (aka Amanda) from the Saw movies was the point-of-interest to me. Tomorrow, it'll be Brent Spiner. I apologize for the red-eye as this was the first time I had ever used my new camera, and trusted that the Auto feature would take care of it. Guess not, I'll do better tomorrow. Some costumes I knew, the others were cute/hot, so I took their picture anyway. :D Anyways, here are some pictures I took/had taken. I scaled them down to 25% of their original size. (I'll add more pictures tomorrow when I get home. There was a guy dressed up as Jayne Cobb from Firefly who did an AWESOME job (even the height thing too), but I couldn't find him when I was going around for pictures.

The celebs:
Art Hindle (left), John Saxon (right) from the ORIGINAL 1974 version of 'Black Christmas' which we subsequently watched. GREAT movie! (http://img395.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0002mo8.jpg)

Shawnee Smith (left), David Hackl (middle, Director of Saw V), Director of Saw VI (right, can't remember his name) (http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0007ri5.jpg)

Shawnee Smith (left), Me (right) - she's standing on her tip-toes, to explain the odd look...lol (http://img245.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0009us3.jpg)

Me with the Directors (http://img177.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0010pb3.jpg)

On to the costumes:
Some World of Warcraft characters (http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0013cc6.jpg)

There's always a Cloud (http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0014ch3.jpg)

I'm not gonna say Boba Fett, cuz the colours are wrong (http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0016nl8.jpg)

Asajj Ventress (left), Princess Leia (middle), and a HORRIBLE Padme (right) (http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0015ji8.jpg)

A picture of somebody in a Zero costume that I managed to snap quickly, thought it'd turn out too dark, but it still looks OK (http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0022it8.jpg)

And then the unknowns:
There were 4 in the group, but only these two had the guts to pose (http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0011zb1.jpg)

The hottest of them all! IMO (http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0012jo2.jpg)

That asian chick on the right was EASILY 6-feet tall, even taking the elevated boots into account (http://img111.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0017yn4.jpg)

She was really cute, and the first picture I took. (http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0001zi6.jpg)

These girls tried to hock (not spit) stuff on me after I took this picture. (http://img170.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0018gt8.jpg)

They were right next to me while I was resting so I took their picture. (http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0019gh2.jpg)

I absolutely LOVE the way this picture turned out! It looks edited but it's not. That's the way the colours went into the camera. (http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0021xt3.jpg)

I got my copy of Cannibal Holocaust signed by Ruggero Deodato (:D), and bought some Batman graphic novels, and wished I had the ability to make some sort of wicked awesome get-up like the cosplayers.

1) That's because that's Jango Fett, not Boba. I am ashamed to know that, by the way.

2) That is a pretty good Zero costume.
