Dallas Comic Con* in Plano, Texas
May 14 - 15, 2005.




This is my first Dallas Comic Con as a member of the 501st. I was frustrated at CIII that I couldn't find anyone from my Garrison when they were taking pictures because I had never met anyone. I was really excited to get with the group at Whataburger for breakfast before the event.




When the group walked into the Expo we spend the first hour bombarded with picture requests. I really feel like a celebrity when I am suited up but I am glad I can take it off and be a regular person.




Being Interviewed by Toxic Comic. Couldn't find them online anywhere.
