Hopefully there'll be pics of me in there with the A-kon pictures. If there aren't, I'll suit back up at some point and have a few pictures shot of me.
Hoorah RED spy.
Hahahah I was the only RED spy there... There were tons of BLU spies, (presumably because it's easier to find a BLU suit; I kinda just wound up using a black suit with a red balaclava and tie..) I only had a knife--no revolver, cigarette case, or watch, but next year I plan to add those to my er, 'collection' pf props as well.
Being the only RED spy was...interesting. It meant that all throughout the con, I got to hear, "OMG RED SPY, RED SPY, STOP! I WANT A PICTURE OF YOU!" ...and it meant I also got flying tackle hugs from nowhere, nonstop. xD
A friend of mine was treated in much the same way. He was a BLU sniper. He wasn't the only BLU sniper, but the fact that he spent most of the con wandering around acting out with me meant that he wound up being everyone's -favorite- sniper. xD
So, with any luck, I'll soon have pictures of random things from me knife-taunting after 'backstabbing' him in the middle of the con floor, to... random shit like RED spy riding on BLU sniper's back while fist-pumping with him running at full speed through the con, and...also RED spy and BLU sniper sharing sushi. xD
I was told I was people's favorite spy though. A lot. Sure, there were the folks that were all "OMG, YOU'RE RED, YOU'RE AWESOME," but I mean the fact that I acted things out. I didn't have the full props, but as far as I was concerned, in costume, I was the spy. This meant..a few change to general body language. Perfect posture, a slight 'strut' when walking, talking with my hands a bit more than I do, but otherwise reserved body language, etc.
Oh. There should be footage of a spy and sniper in a conga line at the rave that night, though.
(You do NOT want to know how hot it was dancing in a two-piece black suit, and wingtips. This was a bad idea. A very, very, VERY bad idea.. but ohhhhhhhhhhhh so worth it.)
If anyone else has done TF2 cosplay, I'd love to see it.

Ha... That sounds like fun. I'm not one for dressing up, but I'd love to cosplay a pyro at least once.
Who do you think you are? Bleeding Action Man?!

ok, so, questions+ideas:
my pyro costume is steaming full speed ahead, the only things i have left to do are: get blue chemical suit (going to call a company later today to check stock), modify gasmask, and....well thats just about it really...
my questions: anyone have any good source pics for the pyros purse? ive got a ...bad idea for dragoncon, invloving the pyro costume, a purse, (maybe fake boobs), and staging a "SHES A TRAP!!??!" moment
edit: lol, a coworker just said teh "SHES A TRAP>!?!?!?" moment to be: get someone to dip me, then pull off the mask
edit2: dangit, why is it so hard to find a fake fireaxe prop or toy

You'll probably have to make yourself an axe, or commission one.
As for the gasmask, try to get a Russian one if you can; you may have to paint it. They're very close to the design.
Uhhh, references... I may be able to get a screenshot in-game myself, as I have everything set at max.

I think it would appropriate to point out that there's something else you might want to keep in mind while making that axe. Which gives me an excuse to post this.
