You will not have any problems at the Airport bro, I flew with all my Fett gear last year. I boxed up all of my armor and blasters (in a storage container w/ wheels) and they didn't even go through it there and back.
Most of us are staying at the Marriot next to the Convention center. they have plenty of room at WonderCon rates.
That's good to know, I was concerned about the idea of taking a life-like blaster anywhere near an airport. I wouldn't want to get whooped by security. But I'm wondering about the convention. I see that it's going to have lots of stuff for sale. The masquerade competition looks like fun. But can I expect to see a bunch of star wars stuff? I'd hate to get there and not find anything that interests me.
