Squirepec, I was looking for you but would have had a hard time finding you in that crowd. I even had some resin parts in my pocket with your name on em.
The wife and I walked into the event around 11:00 and man, was it packed. Just walking around was difficult because of the crowd. Lines of various sizes formed up in front of the celebreties tables to meet, greet, and get photo ops and autographs. In attendance this year were, Tom Kane (Yoda), Matthew Wood (General Grevious), and Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano), all voice actors for the Clone Wars animated series. Mira Furlan (Dannielle Rousseau from Lost) and Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk TV series) were also there, as was a whole gaggle of comic book artists including Star WArs ARtists Dave Dorman, Cat Skaggs and Cynthia Martin. Micheal Golden was also there. Costuming members of the 70th Garrison of the 501st, the Heart of the Alliance, The Rebel Legion, and the Mandalorian Mercs were also there. The usual array of vendors were back again and I picked up a few trinkets, a couple of episode 1 figs, a mighty mugg, and an FAO Schwarz Exclusive set of 12 inch figures, all for fair to budget prices. The wifey had a good time at this, her first ever comic book convention and really dug all of the costumes. At this point, I think that talking her into letting me get a set of clone trooper armor would be more possible."I'll take one of those sets of shadow scout armor, please"
How about some pics?
