Driving around we stopped at the LA Sci-Fi and Comic Book 
Convention held at the Shrine Auditorium. Here are some pix of the crowd. See if you can find the Storm Trooper? Although he is just an imitation, his sweatshirt makes him feel like the real thing. This is what it's all about!!! Having a great time!!! BTW you can find these sweatshirts up at the LA Garment District! nd chat a bit. We even spotted a Jedi 
Knight! He is having way too much fun wth his friends and his Light Saber!! 
People stop to take picture's. We even manged to spot a very special person! We found Darth Maul without his uniform!!!! The one and only Ray Park! 
He played in Mortal Combat; X-Men and is starring in the new GI Joe movie as "Snake Eyes's" - he was there promoting the movie. Fans lined up to have him autograph their figures, take a picture with him or simply to shake his 
hand. I completely forgot to take my Star Wars Darth Maul figure. Although I took a lot of pictures of him, I really could have used his autograph! He was a cahtty guy talking to people, taking pictures. 
As we walked around some more, we ran into "the Soup Nazi" - Larry Thomas. For the Seinfeld junkies, this was the 116th episode of Seinfeld. This his a hilarious episode where the gang is all there at the Soup Stand and it even involves antique furniture. Check it out!
We managed to find a few others on pix. The one to the left below is Kynt & Vyxsin. You can check them out at
www.myspace.com/kyntandvyxsin. You may remember them from The Amazing Race - Goth Couple
(12th season). They're pretty cool people! I also took some pictures of jacket logos or patches that I found to be pretty cool too! The guy with the autograph jacket of the punk rock band -Misfits. I took this one as this is one of my grandsons fav's. The Superman Jacket; The lucky 13 Rat Rods. I just thought these were pretty cool. Like I said no rhymn or reason to why I do ~ but I do.
