I got a little behind on getting this posted, but here goes. Every year I attend and cover a lot of conventions, but Crypticon is always one of my favorites. Words can't explain how fun the show is, but I hope these pictures can give you an idea of how great a convention it is. Sadly I only attended one day, but as you can see, a lot happens in one day! Enjoy!  |

My crew at the show! I already introduced you to Haylee Troncone, so you should be following her already on her cosplay page. The other is Michael B. He takes occasional photos for us, and is almost as nice a guy as I am... The next convention I will be at is Anglicon. It's going to be all about Doctor Who and British media! I'm really looking forward to this one because my PNWSFX (www.pnwsfx.com) crew will have a table at the show to show off some of our "tardis inspired" handy work! If your in Seattle the weekend on June 12-14th, come check it out. www.Anglicon.com for more info. |
