So first there was Bubonicon(xwing) then was DragonCon(xwing) then it was the first annual Socorro Scifi Con(TK) and tonight its another event, The midnight release of Force Unleashed.(which is gonna be xwing)

and I already have the Abq balloon fiesta on the horizon.
What does all this mean?  well the X-wing suit has undergone some major repairs(complete zipper repair, chest box fixing)The TK blaster got some touch up paint, and some re-gluing of parts.  The armor also needs some Velcro upgrades and replacements.  It just goes to show that a costume like this is not a one time build in and your done.  Parts wear out, get dropped, lost, etc.. and its takes constant upkeep.
There were some good pits from all of  this.. including some pictures of us trooping at the VLA. (which I’m told was a first) give me some time to gather them up from the various sources and get them posted in the gallery.

So we survived another D*C.  and before you ask, no I didn’t bring my trooper armor.  I’m really going to need to look at shipping stuff for future events due to the severe limits on luggage.

I did bring the flight suit and got to particpate in a couple high profile Rebel Legion event.  I also got to hang out with alot of peoples I only chat with via email.  and by the end i got a small dose of the cron crud.

I didn’t take much pictures so if you want to see what I saw just do a basic search on flikr.(you will most likely see more than I did)

for the list of things I learned this year check after the break
