LOL!! I'm oddly proud that Pern got a nod before Klingons. :D

That story is such a trip!

I'm pretty she wrote that short story the year with the girls that actually were dressed in Storm Trooper tape, which I think was the year irana and I hung out with her for an hour in the VIP suite. Sherrilyn's pretty awesome.

There was a year the girls weren't wrapped in caution tape? That might have been the first year for it though...

This year I'm going to be on the look-out for Ash and Simi. LOL!

A few years ago, the caution tape outfits were... ah... let's just say that security sent them back to their rooms. As much for the decency factor as for their own safety, according to the one conversation I overheard between a couple of girls and a combination of hotel and con security late one evening, past time for the usual revealing costumes to come out.

That was the first year I saw them, I remember because I totally have a picture somewhere from the following year with a guy dressed in caution tape and boxers. Hehehe...
