I do hope you realize regarding the Spartans, that i was just being a brat.

Oooooh... can't wait to see more HP group & Snape photos!

Road trips are awesome! (Vans work the best. Just the right size. Big enough for a party and TONS of storage space; small enough to park in most normal sized spots. AND unlike doing a charter tour... you can stop any time you want. "Ooooh Hey Look!!! Scenic View!")

They said Andy should do a Spartan costume next year..... and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Crow_Noir... there is a guy that does a great Snape outfit. He even got the 'death eaters mark' tattooed to his arm! I have photos of him from past years... I'll have to look it up. I took more photos of Harry Potter people while waiting for the parade to start.

The actors who play Neville, Fred, and George were at the con this year.

We drive down so we don't fuss with airports. Those that do fly will typically mail their costumes/props to the hotel or send it down with friends that are driving.

Plus the road trip is fun.
