You’d think the photographer was zooming in on my #cosplay as an #UmbrellaCorporation scientist standing out among gun-toting S.T.A.R.S. police and Umbrella paramilitary.
Wrong: The spotlight is on that little vial of mutagenic T-virus. Keep an eye on it, lest everyone you see in the picture become infected #zombies.
My 10 yo did a bit of cosplay at #DragonCon and he was nervous about how his C3PO costume was going to be received. He said he thought it was too "janky" for the photoshoot we were headed to.
As we rounded the corner by the Courtland (nee Sheraton) one guy commented on how cool the costume looked. That helped buoy the kid.
When we arrived, the 501st were fist-bumping him, ribbons were offered.
Fun triple-entendre:
• Stanley Kubrick directed “The Shining.”
• The story was inspired by King’s 1974 visit to the #StanleyHotel in #EstesPark, Colorado.
• And #MrsRoper’s long-suffering husband… was named Stanley.
About to head out to a celebratory almost-done-with- #DragonCon2023 dinner with @alychelms, I see we are a mere $380 from adding pattern dice to the #RookAndRose Kickstarter, and 12 backers from printing the extra cards in the deck! 47 hours to go! #DragonCon
This is #DragonCon in a nutshell, or rather in a box: the Kryptonian super-criminals General Zod, Ursa, and Non from #Superman and #SupermanII trapped in the Phantom Zone of a #Barbie doll box
