Fandemonium Pics

Fun T-shirts for sale!
Yes, I took a picture of the shirt I bought while I was wearing it. I'm a dork.
I'm guessing this ARC trooper got lost during the Clone Wars and has since made his living convention-hopping and signing autographs.
At least he's got company, I guess. Looky, it's my junker in the background! (The red car.)
Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars, who didn't turn around in time for the pic.
The ARC trooper was nice enough to pose with me for a pic.
Me and Frodo.
This Ford was parked across from me when I showed up at the convention. I got a pic, went inside, came out twenty minutes later to get my costume, and it was gone. Hmmm... Rose, someone you know?
I need this bumper sticker.
Matthew McGillan, a local fantasy author, let me have one of his books at a discount for the library, and he was also one of the judges for the short story contest. He told me he really liked my entries.

Scottish Pac Man. No joke. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort pause in their dueling long enough for a picture.
I could go for a crossover like this.
One of the vendors in the dealer room -- one selling knives and swords, oddly enough -- had a sign saying "Free Kittens on Sunday." They were adorable, but I didn't think they'd get along with our dogs, dragon, and psycho cat. Luckily, they all found homes by the end of the day.
Plus everyone had fun playing with and posing with them. Awwww...


It's said that the ghosts of geeks past haunt the convention center...
The following pics are of the backdrops done for the Kingdom Hearts Cosplay. Someone did a GOOD job on these:





Hermione's not only a brainy girl, she watches Disney in her spare time. I competed against her in a Disney trivia contest and got OWNED.
The Mummy Relay Race.
The only angel who did not fear to tread here...
A very bored-looking Inuyasha.
Fandemonium's mascot, Cthulu, in Jack Sparrow garb.

Robin Hood -- robbing from the rich to give to the convention vendors...
Someone's been playing the Sims too much...
I KNEW they were evil...
Homemade chain mail makes everything better.
I still don't know why Link's carrying a saxophone. Any "Legend of Zelda" players able to clarify?
I want this bumper sticker too.
Closing Ceremonies.
Borneo, Master of Ceremonies and the mad genius behind the convention. He's a very nice guy and takes the time to talk to convention-goers and get their feedback and suggestions. May the Force always be with him.
The convention loot -- prizes, freebies, and stuff I bought. There would have been more, except my costume only had one pocket, which limited swag-collecting abilities, and I set a $100 cap on my spending money so I didn't go broke. The knife is my mom's birthday present (in December) and the Snitch necklace on the far right is my brother's birthday present (the 11th, and he loved it).
I WON! WHOOPIE!!! First place in the Short Story Contest! The prize was a $20 gift certificate for a local bookstore. Yes, the certificate's conveniently covering up my real name...

Red Ford? I have a Red Saturn. :)

Kenya, COOL COSTUME!!!

Hey, is it me, or does Frodo have fangs?

Husband recently told me about the "Do not meddle..." saying, LOL. And now you get a cool pic of a bumper sticker! :) There are all kinds of variations of that saying, "Do not meddle in the affairs of X, for Y." :)

I love the ghostly blueish trees in that painting!

Cool knife and snitch necklace. [Wholy cow... that couch pattern... it looks like our prior couch, LOL!]

Congrats on winning the Short Story Contest!!!! You rock!!!
