Hey all.
I thought you might like to see these pics from yesterday.
I decided to take one last personal day before launching into Halloween ODST production to go to the VGXPO in Philadelphia, PA. VGXPO is a 5th year videogames convention with game demos, general fanfare, tournaments, celebrities, etc... just a leeetle bit smaller than a serious 'Con. Maybe it'll build over time. Tommy Talrico from G4TV and the Video Games Live concert series runs the thing, but it's still kinda in it's infancy. It was a bit ... sparse which makes people more generous and seeking approval so everybody was real nice and chatty.
My employer offered to pay for me to go there, so I took him up on the offer figuring another opportunity to wear my ODST would be worth it either way.
We got there late, but just in time to sign up for the costume competition.. so I figured I'd have at it. Won 'Most Complex Costume' and won first place or 'Best Costume'.. The contest wasn't very well run.. Tommy Talrico stood far on the edge of the stage looking at us with disapproval, The announcer was very hard to hear, UFRAG TV shoved a camera in my face as soon as I won the first award to interview me onstage while the contest was still running, but never asked my name... I was kinda amused by everything.. My wife Jen and I walked around the Xpo for the rest of the day taking photos and answering questions. It was a fun time, and I'll definately go again next year just to see if it picks up at all.
You can catch some of the shenanigans on UFRAG TV here:

Here's some pics:
Erm... Am I at the wrong convention?
Guitar Solo?
Push, Maggot!!!
Got a pro photo, below:
This girl from the US Army booth attacked me several times throughout the day, frequently putting her hands in places my wife preferred she didn't.
The force is strong indeed.
No comment.
