still here! sort of!

Oof-- went straight out of Comic-Con this weekend into yet another conference for work! Been in Salt Lake City since Monday morning; tomorrow's our last day here.

Comic-Con was fun this year, even if I didn't get to go to as much of it as usual. (No Thursday for me, had to work. Boo.) A full report is coming soon, but the definite highlight was that kelbebop, sirrogue, Corli, and I won an industry award from Lucasfilm for our Masquerade entry, Rebel Dreams! We basically mashed Star Wars and Dreamgirls together-- the skit was a Dreamgirls medley with Star Wars lyrics, and the costumes were a sparkly showbiz take on the classic Han and Leia outfits. My sparkles, let me show you them:



EDIT: kelbebop posted video! Corli filmed the screen at Masq playback, so it's not spectacular, but it'll do till acparadise gets their video up:

( And here be many more photos (plz to be noting the sparkly sequined bloodstripes) )

My flist was also mad successful in the show-- ajmeow, twjudy, and the rest of hcc_cosplay got Best in Show with their crazy-awesome Five Star Stories costumes, and ladyamaryllis and her group *completely* pwned us with their ridonkulously great Harry Potter skit-dance-FLAG-ROUTINE thing and won Best Presentation by a landslide. AWESOME. I'll post their video as soon as it's up, cause pictures just don't do their skit justice. It's just something you gotta see.

(Oh, so guess what our prize was from Lucasfilm? An R2-D2 cooler. YES THAT ONE. SERIOUSLY. Is that not hilarious!?)
