    Talking Kilted at the Sci-Fi Convention

    Well, last weekend, (6/26-28) I attended the ApolloCon Sci-Fi convention in Houston. It was a good time and I look forward to the next time!
    Here's a few photos;


    As those of you who follow my adventures know, I don't leave home without at least 2 or 3 women, and sometimes my wife! Here I am helping my heavily armed girltorage with their 'Men In Black' hall costume photo shoot. I cobbled up most of the rayguns we're using


    We banged up this alien for fashion voilations!


    These girls change costumes 4 or 5 times a day! This is their Celtic stuff. If I look a little tired here, it's about 10 pm and I just got through slugging it out on a panel about the new Star Trek movie.


    Here's my friend Sandy winning the Best in Show costume award, with her all handmade "Golden Dragon" costume.


    Here I am sporting the XMarks tartan with Austin based horror writer Gabrielle Faust, a lovely and talented young lady.


    Here I am fixing to go into the awards show with talented and tall Texas SF writer Rhonda Eudaly. Geeks clean up OK!


    Remember guys, I work hard so you don't have to!

    You haven't by chance met Jennie from Devil's Panties and her leaf blower have you?

    Hello Zardoz, how are you today.
    I just love the men in black type outfit.
    And the Zardoz girls.

    Yes I have, at Dragoncon. She is... how do you say this... quite "popular" there.

    And for the record, the leafblower thing works on most MUGs, but is not that effective with traditonal kilts. And it gets annoying fast.

    You can grow old, but you don't have to grow up. Looks like fun.

    Looks like fun. Your MIB outfit also gives me an idea...

    "Area 51."

    You can preserve the mystery with a mystery.
