The Iron Man family (joined by Gumby). Planet of the Apes apes going after the camera with a net. Duffman! Marge Simpson actually looked pretty classy. White Queen and Dark Phoenix having a drink. Spy vs. Spy! Jesus. Flying Spaghetti Monster (wonder if those last two met during the con). The grail scene from Indiana Jones. Minecraft guy on pig. Returns Catwoman (I actually liked that costume) Rocketeer taking off the helmet (remained me of the end of Metroid) Zorg from Fifth Element! Barf from Spaceballs with dog biscuits Chicken Vader Tux Vader New Red Robin costume. Blues Brothers dancing! Zombie fast food mascots. MODOK! Arnim Zola! Mars Attacks Aliens! Chell and Wheatley
tl;dr version: Great collection of costumes, probably the best one so far (although I like the direction on the “Raise Your Glass” video a bit better).
Oh, that guy. No, I couldn't identify him. I tried Googling the insignia on his breast, but I couldn't get any matches, even after trying alternative letters.
i've got people i don't know problems. the one year i went i picked a "track" and stuck to it. the stargate people were super nice and didn't mind if i hid from crowds in the back of the room. i use a cane and had my boy as a crowd breaker. we only went to a handful of big panels, but got to go in first due to my disabled sticker. you figure out where the traffic jams are after a few hours and can avoid them fairly easily. if you have a room at one of the con hotels, you can always go up for breaks.
tl,dr : going to d*c is amazing. you can do it even with social anxiety. i did.
Possibly because outside of conventions and such they look like ordinary beautiful women, there is no functional way to tell geeks from normal folks without extensive interaction, this naturally has it's own difficulties...
I was heartbroken to see that footage of Arnim Zola. NONE of the Captain Americas saw him all Con! On the plus side, our costuming group did get TONS of shots with MODOK. If you guys want, and it isn't too attention whore-y, I'll toss some pictures up.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
