AA, sounds like fun. Where is it held? Since I have the advantage of height on you, I will go for a Darth Vader look. Are you sure your tall enough for Obi-wan? I was thinking more Yoda!!

Sorry, could not resist!

...and these are my friends...? Yoda? I've got to get more sun...

Seriously...it's at the Rosemont Convention Center...we've been going for years. It's always a hoot even if you just go to hang out and check out the folks who do show up dressed...I think there were at least three Willie Wonkas last year in varying degree of costume excellence. We're just fans...I always get to see the gang from Graveyard Theatre (which I can no longer get on broadcast TV, dammit!) Laslo, Renfield and Demonica...I love these dudes because they are keeping the tradition of cheesy late night bad horror movie hosts alive. There's always a stand selling weaponry (of Far- Eastern origin...think Pakistan...) and LOTS of teenagers who you really wouldn't want to see with a sword hangng around and testing the heft of various implements of destruction...that's more frightening than Fat Spiderman. One company that sells the best light sabers (although they dan't officially call them that) you ever saw...rather pricey but really authentic.

What can I say? It's a geekfest and I'm always there, so what does that tell you?

Best
