I left quite early after my mom called and said my beloved canine died.
Sorry to hear that.
Thanks for the kind words, it is much appreciated. You too xero!
I wasn't a finalist, and even that really awesome Predator wasn't either. If there was one person I'd feel good being beat by, it woulda been him!
I wish I had the chance to talk to that guy, I wouldn't doubt that he knows or has at least heard of Ruffkin.
I didn't stick around after I got outed; my gf's feet were hurting and she was more upset than I was
So we were hungry and decided to peace out and go hit up the Awful Waffle.
Anyway, I heard that the Tin Man won. Glad to hear that it wasn't one of those hootchies. I actually talked to the Tin Man and he was a really cool guy. Made his costume out of sheet metal and it looked pretty cool. Apparently he drove about 6 hrs from the mountains just to be there. From what he said, the contest played out the same the past few years; all the good costumes get looked over in favor of skin:angry
Oh well, the funnest part for me was just taking pictures. And speaking of pics, my gf should email them all to me sometime today! Kind of bothersome, I didn't even get a picture on the radio stations website. But I got stopped about 4 times for a picture or video clip by one of the radio stations workers, saying they wanted some pictures for their website.
But what absolutely made my night, was all the randoms coming up and going "OHMIGAWD it's Boba Fett!!!" Two guys from one of the bands that were playing, ran up and were jumping up and down, practically dying to get a picture with me. The front man actually got on the ground and worshiped me!
I got a lot of compliments on my Fettronics light board! Thanks Jon! You'll have a pic and a review for your site soon!
As I was walking out, a few people stopped and complimented me, and asked if I was in the costume contest. They were shocked when I told them that I got beat by skanks! There was quite a few people upset with the judges.
Oh well, I had fun!
