I'm down in San Diego, but when I heard you were going to be at WonderCon I bought my ticket. It's only an hour and a half away. I'll see you guys on the 2nd!

Made it to MegaCon this year. Might be paying a visit to you guys at SuperCon, too.



Kouri, GREAT cosplay ensemble.  Where did you get the mask (if you don't mind me asking)?  Thinking of getting into cosplay myself; still pricing out the options  Wink

Modded a Black Series helmet. Expect a new pic this year with a new Kylo costume. Just need to decide between more accurate Ep7 robes or trying for Ep 8.

I haven't seen many Ep 8 pics of Kylo Ren.  Anything (significantly) different between Ep 7 & 8 costumes?  Regardless: looking forward to pics  Smiley

Traders village comic con was fun last weekend but small.  Star wars art festival this weekend should be bigger, and then Comicpalooza is always huge!

so, word has come out outside of the forums the Phoenix con turned ugly. sorry Deep if this is quite touchy for you and the crew. but the promoter apparently didn't like how something was said to him and kicked US out of the con w/ no refund.

my personal view on this is: a large company that brings thousands of revenue in, brings in fans that would less than likely show up otherwise,
not to mention a professional side the smaller companies see stunts like this will less than likely show to this event knowing that they might get treated this way and loose out on important income for themselves.

does he realize how deep he cut his throat on that move?

My question on this subject is when the hell did a lightsaber prop become a weapon, I mean really.  Then your going to turn around a tell these guys, "Oh you can sell your sabers, but your gonna have to bundle them in a trash bag."  Wow is all I can say.  The man behind is this disaster really screwed the pooch to do this to a large company like US.  You have all been to their booths at the various cons and seen the crowd they bring in.  Hell they were the reason I started going to DragonCon seven years ago, true story!  After reading the post on FB I was in shock.  Hopefully this will not happen at DragonCon.

Yeah I hope US's can still hit DragonCon and others in the future. Only takes one person to ruin something good. They should've known not to bring real weapons to a convention. I feel bad now for the troopers and stuff too that people look forward to having their pictures taken with. At Phoenix anyway. Hope this doesn't affect everyone even the smaller conventions x.x

Okay, blame for what happened at Phoenix lies SQUARELY on the people running Phoenix.
THEIR screeners let this guy in. THEIR people didn't stop a guy carrying REAL weapons from hitting the convention floor.
I hope US and other dealer will STRONGLY encourage BETTER entry screening at events like this.
Phoenix took a bad situation and made it worse by over-reacting

I'm hoping Salt Lake doesn't do anything this STUPID come September. Phoenix basically punished their core audience for the mistakes THEIR people made

the blame actually lies Squarely on the the perpetrator. But security is a balance between protection and customer service. It is a concern that if there are metal detectors, armed guards and police at every entrance, people will shy away from the event/location because they will think "bad things must always happen there" .  If nothing happens people complain that it is a police state and there is too much for this event/location"nothing would ever happen here". If something does happens people complain that there wasn't enough. There is also the added cost for all the extra security. The conventions are a business after all and if they have run the same style of security procedure for years without anything serious happening, the powers that pay for everything tend to think it is not needed.(the security heads always say different)  Unfortunately most security at events like this is Reactive instead of Proactive unless there is cause (threat made) prior to the event.

I agree with Duff man, if you follow it all the way through the root cause is another wacko wanting to hurt people for whatever bizarre demented reason they always have.
