Mia's face is priceless there, no?
We arrive at Megacon, ready for some fun!

We first see Barbie, mint in the box with some random lollipop guy

Let's see how many people here remember this guy? Hint: He fought Nazis

Best part about this guy....his fiance who told us, she woke up one night hearing him practicing his best Ledger' Joker impression and it scared the hell out of her.

Onto the celebrities...
Juliet Landau, Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Wonderfully sweet and beautiful woman who even posed for us

Be still my heart....I was shaking asking James Marsters, Spike from Buffy, to "sign my yearbook"

Next up, another Buffy-itte....Camden Toy who played several monsters from Buffy including The Gentleman, Ubervamp, and Gnarl. Also very sweet and he was so funny!

Beam me up Scotty! Its Dr. Spock!

Jonathan Frakes....voice of David Xanatos and also some captain on some spaceship

Oh and then of course, we got our picture taken WITH Spike! He held my mom's hand and I had my hands all over his arm. :love: (BTW, this is a picture OF the 8x10, so its not perfect quality here)

More costume fun....Look! Even Ocoto-Mom made it to the con....she dropped one of her babies on stage too.

Civil War re-inactor.

My daughter found "her people"

Then came the costume contest!
Here is the whole thing on video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoE9Dp-eA7g
This was the first half. I won passage into the second half (more on that soon)

After that, we met Pikachu!

Mia attended the second half of the costume contest and won for Best Fantasy Costume! Her she is with my daughter and the celebrity judges!

And here is what we won
Invader Zim autograph

Full size Dragonball Z movie poster

The trophy


I also won a 3 day pass to Jacon, an anime con in Orlando next month!
And here is what else I got...
Spike and Dru to sign my yearbook

Camden to sign my yearbook

James signed this one for my daughter

Jonathan Frakes signed my DVD...already had been signed by Marina aka Demona

Awesome shirt

New goggles (for a future costume)


Today we went to Old Town. This is the famous ferris wheel there

At Downtown Disney, in the Rainforest Cafe, I found a living "unicorn"

And in the Lego Store, I found what may be unicorns or they may just be mules

My daughter playing with my new toy


And I lived another childhood dream today...I met....HERBIE

He was actually beeping at us. Here is what his interior looks like

Bet you didn't know he supported firefighters!

Oh and I was SOOOOOO glad someone captured this somehow...
This is how I spent my time waiting for the costume contest to start...
Pictures are not by my family, but by another attendee. My parents shoved the entry form in Mia's mouth

Standoff with a Klingon? I know Mia would win a staring contest.

Still waiting....

Smile for the camera Mia!

Let me explain the next set of pictures...Darth Maul and Qui Gon were doing battle. Darth made a low blow and "won" the battle. Unicorns just won't stand around and watch the good guys lose. She lowered her head. Stomped her hoof and charged.



Yes, Darth Maul lost....because Darth Maul is a pansy and ran away from her. He knew he could never win.

Now this is just random and weird. LOL

Also part of the contest was to get some nice pictures done and here is what I got!










And two fun videos from the day's events....
Lightsaber Malfunction
The Host Dances For My Mom
