Armageddon is shaping up to be one hell of a convention this year with a great line up of stargate guests: AMANDA TAPPING- 'Samantha Carter' Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, 'Helen Magnus' Sanctuary PAUL MCGILLION- 'Dr Carson Beckett' Stargate Atlantis JASON MOMOA- 'Ronon Dex' Stargate Atlantis (whom i happened to be cosplay as at armageddon) And one okay anime guest: PATRICK SEITZ- 'Ishin' Bleach, 'Luke' Hellsing, 'Arathas' World of Warcraft Now for the good bit, The Trans-Tasman cosplay comp:You wont find this info on many other sites, i herd this straight from one of the judges for the comp. This years winner of the armageddon cosplay comp will win a trip to New-Zealend for Auckland armageddon expo and who knows what else! And as far as i know, its for any type of cosplay, not just Japanese culture (FKyeah!). They also decided to use some pics from last years cosplay, go here: www.cultureshockevents.com/and wait for the sliding tab thing to reach the cosplay tab. There are a few people i recognize.... So, whos going? What are you cosplaying? What days are you going? Myself: I'm going... of course XD cosplaying: Spike Spiegel for the pre-party (if i go to it) ODST for one day Ronan Dex for another day I'm still not sure if ill enter Ronan or my ODST into the comp. Or if there are two comps so i can enter both...

I'll be going, whether i'll be in cosplay or not is to be determined. I'm excited about all the stargate people there and judging from your experience last year Rowan, it could be fun.

My original post was about twice as long, then firefox decided to die... Also, i knew that, it was just a test... Is anyone else thinking of getting a gold pass? The cocktail party is ALWAYS one of the most memorable parts of Armageddon for me.

With so many of my own projects leading up to manifest and Armageddon (5 costumes... and even more props) I'm afraid i wouldn't really have any time for another projects. Although admittedly the only difficult bit to make would be the firing pin... the rest could probably be done rather quickly... Perhaps talk to Dunkley? he has heaps of free time, plus use of my workshop, although he does have the same amount of costumes upcoming as me. oh and yeah, I'm a massive stargate geek. If it wasn't for stargate i wouldn't be here now, stargate started my love for sci-fi, from there i started going to conventions, from there i have developed a love for anime.
