PAX Prime 2011 - Who's going?

Regarding the Thursday photoshoot, do we have a ballpark idea of when during the day that will be taking place? I want to be there, but I need to make arrangements to be out of work, in-costume, and on-site during the shoot. To that end, I would favor doing it later in the day, either late afternoon or early evening. I would rather not leave my co-workers hanging in the middle of a project.

Also, if anyone is arriving in Seattle on Wednesday (preferably not too late in the evening,) I would be happy if we could get together for dinner at a local establishment. Sadly though, my favored establishment announced yesterday that they were going out of business. It was a classy place that was open all night and made the best key-lime pie in town. :(

I wish that we could give you a definite time. The concern is that Hyo, GMoney and I are having to cross the USA-Canada border. Were car pooling. Were not sure how long the line will be and were not sure if we will be subject to a "random" search. My best guess is that it will be after dinner (Early evening). I'll check with Hyo and see if we can give a more accurate time. Should Thursday not pan out (due to what ever), we will have more opportunities throughout the weekend.


T-SHIRT has been ordered! :)
 
I'm in the home stretch now. I'll upload pictures tonight or tomorrow.

I still have one problem. I need a weapon. Any suggestions on something I can throw together in like 2-3 days? I was thinking pistol, but the H3 pistol pep is like 90 parts. I may go with the plasma pistol since it's the simplest one I can find.

I'm sure that other will be bringing more than one weapon. I'm bringing my Shotgun and hoping that it can get approved and past the Enforcers. If, not then I'll borrow someones or go with out. :)

I'll be posting more about the Chief soon. :)

Yeah, maybe I'll luck out and someone will let me borrow one for pictures at least.

Helmet is done except for padding and fan. All painting is done. Now it's just finishing up a bunch of little stuff (I hope).

Looking good Flex, I plan on bringing my old Buzz-Bee toys assault rifle as a backup/ extra weapon just in case, you're welcome to borrow it for the weekend.

Thanks. I might have to take you up on that. I am running out of time.

Here are some pictures of the full suit. There are a few little details to fix still, but it's most of the way there. I don't have a prop weapon so I posed with the real deal instead.

Nice work GMFlex! I love the base color choice. MMMMMmmmmm Chief colors.
Excellent attention to detail on the Helm. ie. Visor details. :D

Another Chief FTW!!!!!
 
Ooo, Cortana is gonna have an army of Chiefs to protect her from the fanboys (omg please protect me for cereals... People keep saying I'll be raped cause I'm going in a skin tight cosplay and I'm a skinny nerdy girl. D: lol)

You ask... and we shall obey!


6 Days till HALOFEST​


Chief opens the canister.
"Let's see..."

"OMG! Someone took a nuclear dump in this!"
"I'll have to get rid of this FAST!"
Chief uses the TP as explained and proceeds to rush out.

Chief grabs his shotgun and the nuclear waste.
"Clear the way! I need to Evac!"
I think we all need to do that... Evac

"Strange. I can still smell it!"
Chief! Um... Chief! There's something... Oh.. Nevermind!

"It does not smell the same and I think its following me"

Poor Chief! He really does not have a clue!
But he does a great job of disposing nuclear waste

Next time I'll have to tell him what to do with the TP after he's used it

Looks like we've got an escort mission. I think we can keep the nerd Flood at bay :D

That works for me. Just so long as I know it will be later in the day, I can make appropriate arrangements at my work.

Longshot is correct, we should be in town sometime in the evening. The goal is around anywhere from 4-6. Though the earlier the better.
But there's a few friends we'd really like to visit with in our stop over in Vancouver before the drive down to Seattle.
 
If you don't know Halo Fest has it's own separate entrance that takes you directly to the area instead of having to wait in the prime line and walk through and navigate to the stairs to the third floor. The entrance will be on the corner of 8th, and pike of the convention center building. The question at hand is will you be waiting at the main line to get into Pax Prime or the line into Halo Fest?

Oops, I meant that one ;). First 5000 people into halofest get extra swag! It is my intention to get it all.
