I 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:

( Futurama on their minds )

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 :)

( Dammit, Oscar, I told you never to call me at this number! )

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:

( You know, I exploded out of the torso of a mammal much like yourself... )

Finally, there was the coolest costume I saw at the whole show, a superbly done, terrifically original full-body piece:

( The Ottoman Automaton, The Engine Of The Lamp )


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.
