Costumes of Con

The second evening of Convergence brought thunderstorms and a relief to the heat. Friday night arrived hereralded by thunder, lightning, and even a nighttime rainbow!


Sadly I missed it and the pic doesn't show much but I think it was a good omen for the night.

A lot more people were out and about this second night and I got to snap a few more cool costumes.

 Mr T scared the crap out of me as a kid


Apparently the 'gollum, gollum' in Gollum's
voice is actually from smoking...
Big fan of Babylon 5 growing up so I had
to snap a photo of him!


 OMG sock monkeys!


This Anubis costume was crafted incredibly
well and he really thought it out--he could
push back the head to wear it as a hat so it
wouldn't be hard to get around Con but
still easy for folks like me to snap pics!
I can't tell you how cool this costume was...
I actually RAN back inside to get photos
because I LOVE dragons and this was so frakkin cool!
"I'm not bad, I'm only drawn that way"
I believe she would be a collaborator according to Kal!
See the cephalopod in her middle?
fMy nephew Alex as Goku Super Saiyen!
I confess it made me a little nervous to find him
running around with the Trojan man!



Yes that's right, a female Dalek!



Rennaisance men...part of my nerd herd!
I saw this man before his beard was beautified
The Goblin King!
All in all a nice set of costumes this year! I didn't get them all by any stretch of the imagination--practically everyone was dressed up or wacky.

More photos but I'll save them for later posts--steampunk and my cosplay to come!
