Never attended a Farpoint convention before and, heck, they were just up the road apiece in Timonium, MD, so Tj O’Connor and I took ourselves up there to see what was to see.
This, of course:
it being winter and Maryland and 40 knot winds with snow and an air temp of,oh, say, -12. But, that was outside.
This was inside:
Yes, Vlad the Corset Impaler was in town.
My setup:
Incidentally, the game on the left is Bryan Hillman’s Dark Legacy. I was challenging passers-by to a round of Cast and Attack, and giving them a poster if they beat me. I ran out of posters pretty quick. Yeah, I suck.
This is Tj’s set-up:
He brought a friend, his ghost writer. Get it?
In case anyone needs to know the whereabouts of Allen from the 501st, here you go:
Got your back, man.
Hey, look! It’s Ben Anderson from Marscon!
You meet the best people at these things. Like:
Green Lanterness.
Rick and Carl, who were looking for this guy:
A Stargate soldier who got stuck in there for awhile:
Fetts:
pre-Fetts:
Hannah Solo:
Baby Groot:
The Tin Hat Brigade:
A Ringwraith and I shared a couple of laughs:
You get past that whole One Ring to Rule Them All stuff, they’re pretty good guys.
Speaking of good guys:
This is Frank, who was sporting a 4th Armored patch which caught my attention, since my Dad was in the 4th. Like any good soldier, Frank was prepared for anything:
Even a Russian, er, American, er, SHIELD spy:
Prince…ess Leia:
The Jedi Windy, Windu…heck, I don’t know. If they’re characters from those horrible pre-quels, I don’t acknowledge their existence:
Sand people. Not from the pre-quels. At least one of them, that is:
Get your hands off me, you dirty ape:
Aren’t you supposed to be on a satellite somewhere?
Captain America and little Bucky, all grown up:
Miss America, Captain-style:
One of these things is not like the others:
The couple dressed like RV salesmen are actually RV salesmen, owners of Leo’s Vacation Center, who happened to wander in and were never heard from again.
The woman in the middle there is Lottie, who seems to show up at every single convention I go to and no, I am not stalking her. I’m not. Really, officer, I’m not.
And, yes, that is Frank on the right. Told you he was prepared.
This is Black Widow from the scene in Winter Soldier during the fifteen or twenty seconds she was walking in the mall with Cap:
You remember that, right?
And this is…this is…just…marvelous:
Overall? Pretty decent. Both Tj and I did well there. But, they should consider having the next Farpoint in a hotel that has more than one staff member.
