Seems since I got nominated and won the member of the month thing for the 405th, I've gotten to meet alot of new people in the group. One being Ithica. He's one of the better known members and a really cool guy who loves making props. I'm sure he'd devote his entire life to it if he didn't have to work a real job.
But, I went down to hang out with him and his wife, bringing my brother and two friends along. We decided to take our armor to 6th street. For anyone not familiar with 6th street, its the street to go to on friday and saturday nights in Austin. The cops close it down to protect those walking around and it's lined with bars, clubs and resturants.
So, we took two cars and parked under the bridges and changed into armor. Carl got to borrow a new suit to wear, including a recon helmet. I wore my suit.
Wow. There weren't very many people who could tell that we were from Halo. The responses ranged from Transformers and G. I. Joes, to Power Rangers and even the cops. WTF? I'll chalk it up to how drunk the people where.
We even had a homeless guy follow us around chargeing people to take pictures with us. I wonder how much he made off us... Carl got about $15 in tips and I had a pair of lesbians stuff some bills in my belt. lol. Interesting night to be sure.
