Seems like just yesterday we just arrived to the con and over faster then I could of ever imagined. Without further adieu, I want to post what Youtube vids I could find of the parade. Please post links to other stuff. I'm dying to see footage of the colony sweep! Thanks to all of you for the memories that will last a lifetime.

I've just contacted them regarding us being called active military. It has to stop.

Yeah, I had a good chuckle over that when I saw the recap on DC*tv the next day.

I don't have much footage myself this year (I'm realizing now that it's over that I really didn't spend any time as a spectator at all this time around) but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's!

I got virtually no pics with my own phone. The only ones I made sure I got were with our resident warriors and a randomly encountered warrior running around.




Anyone know this person? Lurking around here perhaps?

WARNING STUPIDLY LOUD AUDIO!

I seem to have expertly avoided every camera pointed at the parade. I was hoping there would be at least some pictures or video of the beginning before it all went horribly awry.

You can hear my pulse rifle sound FX! I hope we can have more speakers on us and LOUDER! Project for next year perhaps.

I loved that your gun made the pulse rifle noise. I'm so in to do this for next year.

YES! Do it! The more noise the better. Sean and I have already discussed sound FX for future sweeps. He will update posts on 'Colony Sweep' thread with ideas and equipment options. As well as choreography/script ideas. We have about a year to work on this. So I'm sure we can make something happen by next year.

My speaker was MP3/iPod compatible. A little bulky, but I used a drop leg pouch to hold it.

Looking forward to returning and doing video of the sweep again.

And the parade was nuts, well done all

"Tea-bag 'em."

I have such awesome ideas.

I could only hold a dead face so long until I felt xeno fingers caressing my cheek. I swore I heard "Dip, Dip, Potato chip" Guess thats what I get for being the new guy.

Can't wait to see Dom's pics of the Sweep. That was awesome!

Hell yes I do. That's my brother Dan! He has a profile here but hasn't been active. After this year's D*C* he will be around more.

Hello! Yep that's me! My skull felt like it was cracking at that point, otherwise I would've loved to have hung out a bit more with you, when you invited me to the booth. Next year I plan on trying to be around y'all as much as I can!
