grinninfooleI saw many cool costumes at the Con, and I took pictures of a few them. Here they are.
On day before the show, waiting in line to pick up credentials, I saw these Futurama fans:
(those little green plush things are brain slugs, which turn you into a mindless zombie. Only the guy in the black shirt is in character.)
There was a woman in a superbly done Victorian style dress, complete with a hat and walking stick, and when I asked for a photo, she agreed, but only if she could hold her cell phone to her ear :)
Then, there was a guy dressed as an Alien (a la the Ridley Scott movie), who had gotten behind the desk at the Hyatt and was menacing the accommodating clerks:
Finally, there was the coolest costume I saw at the whole show, a superbly done, terrifically original full-body piece:
It just doesn't get any cooler than steampunk genie. I wish my phone camera did it any justice.
There were, as one might expect, lots of women in revealing costumes, though only three or four Princess-Leia-as-Jabba's-slave-girls, including one brave woman in a chainmail bikini with, I think, nothing at all underneath it. (Ouch.) I tried not be a skeezy guy who makes the ladies nervous, so I held off on taking any 'sexy' pics.
