Pics, pics, pics...

As one would expect for such a costume-heavy game, people took lots of pictures. Some galleries:

My pictures are okay -- I got most of the people who really costumed (with a few annoying omissions), but the morning set were shot without flash because I was still set to my SCA settings.

Eva Schiffer got a bunch of good pictures, including a number of people that I didn't.

anu3bis has posted two albums to Picasa, one for the morning run and one for the evening.

Lots of good stuff there. I commend a look through if you're a GG fan -- many of the costumes were really great, in both runs...

Mind if I pass a link to this post to the Foglios?

[jducoeur]

Sure, but I'll be writing to them directly in a few days, once the wiki is in good enough shape for public consumption...

What about a pointer to this post going to the gg yahoo group? It's a pretty good summary of LARP pics so far, and I'm sure people there will appreciate it.

IIRC, the Wiki will include the inner details of the game -- which means it won't ever be for -totally- public consumption as long as you're planning on re-running an edited version, yes? (or no?)

I had to leave, so I've posted a link to the yahoogroup without waiting for a response.

FWIW, you may want to go through your ljpics archive and set the focal points for the various thumbnails (usually to faces, but to the dingbot in Lisa's case) -- that way, you won't have all those cut off heads in the display (except for Wooster's first pic, of course).

This is true -- the wiki itself will be pretty spoiler-rich. So there's something to be said for just linking to this, I suppose.

So sure, feel free to pass it on...

Thanks, I'd been hoping to see pictures of all the costumes, there's some excellent work there.

I know nothing about GG, but I like costumes. It was interesting to look through the pictures of the two runs and be able to tell who was playing the same character.

OMG! Do you even read my posts? Phil and Kaja Foglio. Favorite cartoonists. Girl Genius. Brilliant Strip, the entirety of which is online. Get off this site immediately and go read the entire run. Then get working on the stage version of it. I'll wait...

Well? Go!

Sorry -- what I should have said was "I haven't read Girl Genius yet". I've never seen an episode of Buffy, Babylon-5, or the new Battlestar Galatica either.

Alaric and I are in Vegas June 5-8 for Miss Exotic World. You around? Depending on how burlesqued out he is, he may want to hang out with you on Saturday night ;-)

Yeah, I was in a surly mood that day. I'm really very fond of GG. You should check out the podcasts they did, basically radio plays. They're right up your alley.

I've only seen bit here and there of Buffy, but they're in my queue, mostly because Firefly was so terrific. No interest in Babylon 5 and I've seen the first two seasons of the new BG. They're good, but you could live without 'em.

I look forward to seeing you. So far I've got nothing planned around then. It'll be great to see you.

Excellent pictures and costumes! Woo!
