Dragoncon updates: Group Costumes, etc

Still plugging along, but I don't have much to show since for the past week I've been working nonstop on the two group costumes. One group is completely done except sewing on some hook and eyes and velcro. The other group is about 70% there and my plan is to have it done by Saturday.

Marie, K-9 and Flat Ryan

That particular outing, K-9 had a video camera behind his eyes instead of his regular "eyeballs" - I was showing Ryan to K-9 so he would be on his video.
