Ok, all the costuming jokes aside. Just wondering if anyone from G|A was going to be at AdventureCon in Knoxville, TN this weekend. I know last year someone from here happened to be there the same weekend. If so, just look me up...can't be that hard to miss.

I'll not be around, I'll still be in San Diego, wishing I had the extra $$ to fly out for the weekend. :\

Jon posted some pictures last year of a group of (forgive me I know I'm screwing it up) bobba fett kind of dudes. Like 20 of them.

His costume's pretty damn elaborate if you ask me.

Freaking people out in the hotel lobby (I love the looks on their faces when we walk out of the elevators like this...it's like they have to double check they're in the right hotel)

I'm the blue and white one in most of the pictures (duh). Yeah...I know the comments are going to come about us being dorks, freaks, etc. Whatever. We couldn't walk more than five steps both in the con AND out on the streets the one night without folks begging for a photo with us. I must have posed for over 500 photographs that weekend.

Few more photos here:

Weren't as many from the other group there this year. Last year it was three from our group and the rest from the local 501st. This year is was all from our group and like 2 from the 501st. Although...basically looks the same. :D

No worries BigJon, this is G|A, geeks, dorks and nerds are welcome here. :)

I think it looks like you had a freakin' blast of a time.
