Thanks. We all walked into the con and to the DC booth together. We felt like the Beatles for a few moments. The guy who made the Gates costume, Leman, did almost all those other costumes. I think Apparation did hers and Mone'l's, if I remember correctly.
We did the Justice Society the next year and the JLA the year after that, and he did my costumes. I'm thinking I may try to do Color Kid sometime. It was such a simple, neat costume.
And hello to you fellow Michiganders (and past Michiganders). (I know Michiganian is the official term, but I voted for Michigander in the poll, and I'm sticking with it.)

Hey, I just realized that there are other people from Michigan. I need to pay better attention. Oh the joys of Michigan - beautiful water, Vernors and Better Made chips, and ten straight years of losing baseball.
And hey Semi Transparent Fellow, I grew up on the other side of the Blue Water bridge just outside of Port Huron! You must be from Sarnia.

Truly I am from Sarnia. I used to venture across the Bluewater Bridge as a kid to buy the Aurora superhero model kits because they weren't available in Canada.
Later, as a teenager, I went across the bridge one night to smoke dope for the very first time. We thought it was too risky to do it in Canada. In retrospect, what idiots we were - taking marijuana across the border. Oh, well, the times were different then. I certainly don't do anything like that anymore.

Those costumes are quality stuff. How incredibly cool. The starfield outfit looks great.

Oops! That's right! Braalian's from Michigan (my cousin goes to college in Grand Rapids -- it looks nice enough when passing through on the way to Saugatuck or Up North), too. Sorry, Semi-Transparent, if we want to keep the name Thumbstate Three, you'll have to be our Canadian Cousin. Or we could just change to Fumbstate Four.
Do I hear five?
