I'm sorry, I just don't understand what you mean by a pattern! :?

Stan is definitely enjoying himself too much in those two photos!

The Los Angeles Times had a daily blog during Comic-con. They even reviewed the masquerade (mentioning the dancing TMNT). There is a list of masquerade winners. Here is the link:

I think Mayhem is referring to the Usagi bobble-head. All the drawings of Usagi or one of my characters at the computer features a bobble somewhere.

People kept showing up at my booth, and it would have been rude not to have my picture taken with them. Wonder Woman was dressed as Elektra on Friday, and came by to show me her WW costume on Saturday.

I also saw two new Usagi tattoos, both on legs.

Sharon took those photos. Is she a terrific wife, or what?

We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary earlier this month.

Thank you for the link info, Stan!!!

There is also a video clip of us on youtube, I found out tonight.
:D

I appreciate all the pointers to anything on our costumes.

And I'm enjoying seeing the pics everyone is posting of everything else from the Con, too.
As for the lovely ladies?
NO one can resist Stan! He's just that nice and awesome.

And congrats on 29 years! Your whole family is nice and awesome, too.

:D

The Comic Buyer's Guide has a bit of a review of the 2006 CCI on their CBGXtra.com web-site, including a mention (and photo) of Stan.

Thanks for posting the photos, Mayhem. It makes me realize how very little of the con I get to see. I did not even make through the entire Dearlers' Room. My favorite is Boba Fett riding the bus.

Sure she is, after a fairy, now wonderwoman and catwoman, and we still don't know if they make the photo for Usagi or more probably for you Stan !

On the Mayhem's photos of the Con, on the dojo group member photo, do we see your son Matthew?

Anyway thanks to have share your photos Mayhem !

Félicitations Leonardo-San, i hope we will see a video of you !
