Is anyone going to this? Brandie and I are planning on driving down there for the weekend.

I have gone before- its really a fun little event. Not sure if I am going this year.

I've been before too, it is nice little event. Nice little vendors event where you get to see all the neat toys and stuff without feeling the commitment to buy. I probably wouldn't make the drive unless I plan on doing other things in SoCal mind you, at the time the wife and I were visiting family in San Diego, we hit up Disneyland because we wanted to see what a Halloween themed park was like (it's just like normal except a lot more fake pumpkins on main street), and since we were down there at the time decided to swing by.

Well Space Mountain also had some scary stuff since it was "Ghost Galaxy" or something like that.

Great America was pretty fun during Halloween.

Personally, I like the Haunted House during Christmas.

Hmm looks like fun, maybe I should go this year...

So I'm planning to drive down for Saturday only, I have a commitment Sunday. Anyone interested in carpooling?

 

[denzil]

Yeah, we'll be down there the whole weekend. We're leaving Friday morning and coming back on Monday afternoon.

Change of plans... Brandie and I are coming back up Sunday night after the last day.

Here are a few picture-teasers of what you all missed out on if you didn't make it this year!







Sorry about the last picture, I had a difficult time auto-focusing on it. I'll probably swing by again to get a better picture through manual focus. So far, it has been amazing event and we even met some celebrities there.

Sweet eye candy !

Looks like a lot of fun! Any speakers at RAP this year?

Wishing you both a safe return!

 

[gimmito]

I'm pretty sure Jake Adams, Bob Fenner, & Tony Vargas were some of the speakers.

Hey everyone, here's a link to my SmugMug for this event. A lot of shots were difficult to take due to lighting (or rather lack thereof) and my 18-55 lens haivng some trouble auto-focusing on some subjects. Let me know what you think and which SmugMug format you prefer below! Thanks!
