Happy Halloween!
Went to a great Halloween party thrown by gclarke, stiill, and a bunch of other awesome people. The theme was a supervillain convention called 'VillCon'. There was a trophy display table with Unobtanium, the Sword of Sorrows, 'The Real Starry Night', and the Crown Jewels of Noobtania. There was a death-ray making station with water guns, paint, and stick-on jewelry. Zombie Lenin (Geoff) tended bar while Dr. Horrible (JMJ) ran turntables and a light show.
The crowning achievement was the bluescreen room, where pics of people were taken as they came in and automatically turned into comic-book frames. This is me as Mecha Stalin (the preserved head of Stalin on a robot body):
The the chroma-keying sometimes likes to eat people's clothing, but the net result is amazing. The chill-out room had photos rotating as a slideshow so party-goers could see themselves up on the screen.
More supervillain pictures are up on Matt & Ruth's site.
Edit: Original bluescreen pics are up too!
