Saturday at Armageddon - in photos! Since this is quite picture-heavy, I've put it behind a cut. If you haven't already seen my write-up from the day, you can read it here. I've also posted pictures of various costumes that I saw, and these are only a few. I wish I had taken a lot more!
Most of the morning was spent in queues. First queueing up to get in, and then queueing up for autographs. Luckily, epochnovus and I weren't too far from the front.

While in line, we bumped into some friends, and so took pictures.
 Mozzie (Stargate Atlantis science-team uniform); myself (Wraith Queen from Stargate Atlantis); starfirephoenix (Samantha Carter from Stargate Atlantis)

Finally, we made it near the front of the line. The actors are so close! In the blue shirt is David Hewlett!

I got to feed on Rodney McKay! Pictures are here because I posted them earlier.
I then went to get an autograph from Andee Frizzell, who plays the Wraith Queens. When I made it up to her, she reached into her own bag.

She loved my costume so much that she wanted to get a photo of us on her own camera! epochnovus got a picture of us too! Andee said we should both do the Wraith expression and hand thing, but now I'm not sure if she did it in her own photo or not!

She was so awesome that I couldn't help but smile, very unusual for a Wraith Queen lol! (unless she's about to eat!)

After epochnovus and I had both David and Andee's signatures, we rushed upstairs for David Hewlett's panel. When we got there, the line was massive. I was really worried that we weren't going to get in as the doors are closed when the auditorium is full. We got stopped very close to the door, as it was almost full, but luckily we made it inside, albeit with seat right up the back.

 You can hardly see it, but yes that is David Hewlett on the stage!
Unfortunately any photos I tried to take of David from that distance were too dark and blurry.
From David's panel, we went into Gary Jones's panel. I was about as far away from him as you can get, and so my photos also came out blurry.

In the afternoon I took photos of some other costumes.
 Captain Jack Sparrow
 If Darth Vader had been Australian, this is what he would have looked like XD
 Can Superman stand a Wraithing?! (No idea why I'm smiling, and yes his muscles were real!)
 This is Jodie, who's wearing one of Vala's dresses (Stargate SG-1), and an Atlantis jacket for when it gets cold in the dress!
 Can you believe that Vala wanted to be fed on? XD (As did a lot of people that day!)
 Daniel Jackson and Mozzie

starfirephoenix and her fiancee Dave as Indiana Jones!
 Back row: Stargate SG-1; Gambit from X-Men; Mandy as the other Wraith Queen!; Daniel Jackson; Femtrooper (except there was actually a guy inside!) Front row: President of the Costumer's Guild (Stargate flight suit); starfirephoenix; Mozzie
 This is the same image before, except Master Chief from Halo joined in. He had made all of his armour himself, and won the cosplay contest the next day with it. It looked great, but it also looked pretty awkward to walk around in.
 Wraith Queens! Mandy looked great, she'd done a bit of prosthetic work with her makeup and was even wearing the contact lenses! Photo from starfirephoenix
 Watch out for those Wraith! Myself; Mozzie; starfirephoenix; Mandy Photo from starfirephoenix
 I got to eat Lt. Col. Errandboy! Photo from starfirephoenix
When Armageddon was closing for the night, the staff had some fun! I was hanging around as I was going to dinner with some of them!

smileygidget!
 I was pretending to be like Steve the Wraith behind the rocks, and ended up looking like a Wraith Queen with a Goa'uld symbiote inside because of the shiny eyes XD

 Oops I left the Wraith stunner at home. Smiley's P-90 replica was cool so I also had to have a turn! Photo from smileygidget
