Well, last weekend, (6/26-28) I attended the ApolloCon Sci-Fi convention in Houston. It was a good time and I look forward to the next one! Our own Aiacha was there as well, but sadly I didn't get a photo.
Here's a few pics;

As those of you who follow my adventures may know, I don't leave home without at least 2 or 3 women, and sometimes my wife! Here I am helping my heavily armed girltorage with their 'Men In Black' hall costume photo shoot. I cobbled up most of the rayguns we're using

Those girls changed costumes 4 or 5 times a day! This is their Celtic stuff. I'm just lucky if I rembember to bring stuff that matches! If I look a little tired here, it's about 10 pm and I just got through slugging it out on a panel about the new Star Trek movie.
