i think the funniest thing here is that if i had gone i would've known who was who and maybe you guys wouldve known who i was too (and i mean when were not in armor) a question though is dragoncon the only convention the 405th goes to? because the only one im looking forward to is megacon in march which is in orlando florida
A bunch of us got together at AdventureCon (Tennessee one, this is their first time going to the west coast.. one of the fastest growing cons out there) this year and sure enough even more next year. I think there was 4 spartans, plus Vex this year. I've been busy and I'm going to be bringing multiple people with me so I know more spartans/marines will be appearing next year. We had a huge picture shoot, you can find it by doing a search over in general discussion. It got buried, hope the mods put together a "Previous Footprint" section of all the previous cons. I'd be more than happy to supply all the A*Con pictures over for permanent hosting.
I've just quickly uploaded my best pics to my photobucket account for you all to see. I'll have to go through later and clean up some of these pics in photoshop obviously, but I know you guys are anxious. Has anyone sent stuff to HBO yet? I need to zip up some files and send them to Louis later. Jen and I have to go to dinner, so I'll be back on in a few hours to check out comments and see everyone elses pics. Enjoy!
The costume wasn't really finished, this ended up being the first test run and I found lots of bugs the need to be worked out. Still, thanks for the compliments, I'll keep going on this costume and get everything fine tuned.
I'll probably put up a 'making of' thread shortly, so this thread doesn't get jacked.
WOW that is awesome Sean! That Arbiter is amazing!!! You sure pulled out the stops on that one there....... Well, so ummm you guys want to come to PAX next year?
Well, it's a tough decision to make: Dragoncon or PAX? It's really awful that they both go on at the same time. Maybe the dates for next year will allow for going to both.
Frankly I had such a good time at Dragoncon that I wouldn't miss it for anything.. and I think I'll be going to as many 'cons as possible from here on out.
I dropped a line to Louis Wu about this thread and the pics from the con, waiting to see what he wants to do with them. I need to edit and annotate my 'making of' images in the meantime. Guess I'll photoshop and re-upload all my pics while I'm at it.
As a note Dragon*Con will be September 4-7 next year. I'll start a new thread for D*C 09 as soon as they start posting more information again. The earlier we start planning the better off we'll be. Suppose I could be the official/unofficial D*C organizer for the 405th

You're darn right! Gotta look out for you guys and throw in my advice on things...even if you don't take it ::cough:: ::cough:: Book in a con hotel DoC ::cough:: ::cough::
I need a better camera. A lot of the photos I took with my camera are crap. For some reason, the lighting just wasn't good with or without flash. The shots with flash are too bright in my opinion and the shots without are out of focus. I'm going to see what I can do with them, but I'm thinking I won't be able to use many of them. I have realized my camera is not an action shot camera at all anymore.
