We had a great time in Grand Rapids. The Grand Rapids Comic Con was larger than the ones we went to in Lansing and Traverse City, with many incredible costumes. Keith looked amazing in his Rebel Fleet Trooper kit, I debuted my A New Hope Princess Leia, and Keith's R2D2 was a big hit. Our friends, Dan and Kelaine, joined us and Kelaine even wore my Endor Leia kit. Next time I need to make sure to have makeup for my eyebrows. I'm use to them being invisible, but it looks really odd with the dark brown wig.
The cosplay really was amazing! There were lots of things I didn't recognize, but here are a few of my favorites:
You've got to love Waldo.
(I even saw this guy!)
Chewy was so tall!
Santa Vader gave me a big hug after I called him, "Dad."
I was glad to see a number of different Star Trek shows represented. (One of these days I will put together a Yeoman Rand kit.)
Everyone loved the Black Night from
Monty Python's Holy Grail, but
this Dalek from Dr. Who was, hands down, the coolest cosplay of the day. I'm so glad we made the trip down state - it was a great day full of good times with good friends! It sure would be fun to organize something on the island. I think it would be a hoot to have Storm Troopers garrison Fort Mackinac for an afternoon!
