I live in Kenosha, probably less than an hour away from Costume Con this year yet I couldn't go because of finances. It made me sick thinking about everything that was going on yet not being able to be there. I'll just have to wait until all the pictures everyone took get put on line.

Genie, Darn, I am so sorry that we missed you. I missed meeting Danielle too. Maybe next year. I did get to meet h-costumer Ann in CT. I took lots of photos of Sandy and Pierre in costumes. We only had a chance to mingle on Friday night. The switch to cold weather really got the better of me and Joe. We left 90 degree weather in Richmond. Maybe next year, Arizona will be warmer. We could hardly walk by the end of each evening. Next year Joe should feel a lot better with his new knee. During green room time, I was running up and down the hall behind the stage to take contestants to Joe to photograph. My feet swollen so much from doing that. I didn't get to see but a little of the historic show because I had three entries left to photograph. I just watched the videotape that Joe made of the historic masquerade and it looked really good. I took four classes...two were Robin's. I learned a lot! Thank you Robin for teaching the classes! The rest of the time, we only left our hotel room two hours before the shows for the green room and the show time. We didn't take many hall costume photos. Going between the two floors of the hotel made it hard to find people to photograph. Last year, the central meeting area made "meet and greet" and an opportunity to photograph hall costumes a lot easier. If you know someone who photographed this year's hall costumes, or if you have photos of yourself please contact me. I really feel bad that we didn't photograph many hall costumes. We had to make a choice to photograph the masquerades or hall costumes. Since most people can not see the costume details on stage, we chose to photograph them. You will be amazed at the costume details. The wonderful thing is to hear the stories behind the costumes.
