Hi folks, I took my Son Daniel to the botcon convention in Pasadena where transformer fanatics where gathered. Much like the treky or star wars conventions. There was thousands of people at this deal so I am glad we went early..With the money I spent there, I could have bought me da*15..Well not quite

Anyway, just some quick snap shots..

Kids every ware, dressed like the transformer characters.

Of course, a program guide is a must.

I think this is bumble bee and optimus.

The very talented Nick Roche was there selling his work.

Vendors where there in groves making tons of money.

Video game competitions where all day long.

And that be it.

On a side note, in many places in Los Angeles, one can have his / her car hand washed while u shop or do what ever..It will only cost you a small fortune...Some of these things I find strange.

cool shots, especially bumble bee. what camera is that in the pictures? first shot looks like a k100d or km but with a lens I dont rekognize and in the second shot that looks very much like a canon L lens with the red ring.

Thanks. Daniel has a K100DSUPER and the lens is the Tokina 20-35.

Is that the lens in both the 2nd and the 3rd and 4th shots? I dont see any red ring in the 3rd and 4th shots.

We have the same thing here. I also note that Lexus drivers are just as bad at parking in LA as they are here. Or maybe it's that the Lexus steering is really sloppy

Good series, by the way.

When in doubt, blame it on the Lexus self-parking feature
