I love seeing the costume competition at Gatecon, and I always get dressed up myself (as everyone knows).. Tok'ra for the past 3 years and this year adding in Navy BDU's.

But the best I ever saw was at te first Gatecon in 2000. There was a guy dressed as a Nox. It looked great... hair and everything.

But there are so many good ones... and people put so much time into them.

Some favorites would be the costume that Valerie makes... Last year had a picture perfect version of Sam's dress from Emancipation, and the "Nem's Sister from Fire and Water" costume (can't remember who did that one)

cool thanks, i have a question or two for u, first are there a lot of Jaffa? and seconed u are in "The Land Down Under" right?

 

[Gatecon]

Firstly... NO

Secondly... depends on which way you look at the map !


:rolly2: :rolly2: :rolly2: :rolly2:


Seriously... We had a few Jaffa Priests this year, but never any Jaffa Guards

And Yes, I come from The Land Down Under (hmmm... sounds like a good title for a song )

Good on ya mate.. You Beaudy !!!!!! Strewth !!!!!

im sorry i hope i didn't offend ur sense of national pride! (coughs- damn aussies)

cool i think i might try to get a Jaffa costum going then for Gatecon, i would also just love the idea of having a staff weapon :rolly2:
so thanks and sorry about thoose earlier remarks they just slipped out.

 

[Gatecon]

Just watch yourself at Gatecon if you come !!!!!

If you think Steve Irwin can be tough... Well guess what... We're really worse than that !!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Look, who's kidding who here... Steve Irwin is an idiot... And please don't judge the rest of us aussies on that !!!!

im sorry, but its an Americain thing, were just dumb yanks who know nothing but asume we know everything:rolly2:

So what ur saying is that if i go as a Jaffa ill get beat up by all the Tok'ra and SG teams at the convention, and oh god better watch out for thoose Asgard, oh wait never mind there just a part of Jaffa Legend, ah but what about that big bright light that kills jaffa with Chain lightning(refrence to WC3), Better be catreful then not to stray near any bright lights, but wait that means i cant go in stage noooooooooooo, will the threats never end??:dead: :dead:

 

[timdgreat]

a question for u Gatecon, I realize this may not be ur expertise, but i ask because ur the only one awnsering at this time.
Do u know where to get Jaffa coustums, and if i go as a Jaffa should i have a ZAT as well as a staff weapon?

 

[Gatecon]

Actually the only way any normal person would be able to get a Jaffa costume would be to make it yourself. There aren't actually any to purchase.

But you can buy Zats... go to http://explorer.lightspeedfineart.com (official fan club site).

what why not the Jaffa are cool, why the !$@$@#@#$%%@#$$%!@$#%%@%@ arent there any, this is a crime against all Stargate fans. im ****ed

What I noticed the last two years is that the large part of the con-goers do not do a costume. Costume wearing hasn't become "the thing" at the Vancouver con as I hear is more the case at Star Trek cons. I find them cool and the people rather brave to run about in costumes. (All I do is wear my BDUs and tanktops.)

We had fantastic costumes in the contest the last two years. I recall from this year's costume contest had Anubus, Golfing Jack, Upgrades Jack, priests from CoTG, and a few Gods and Tok'ra. And Allan pulls out his Tok'ra getup for a day when he hosts. And he also got to show off the Martouf effects jacket from Divide and Conquer.

I do miss the Jaffa. This is kinda odd seeing how popular Bra'tac is. But I begin to think that maybe molding armor, making a staff weapon and crafting the chainmail is a bit out of the league of your average person. But there must be a few creative people going as Jaffa for Halloween somewhere.
