Oh that'll be cool. Going to put them up on your site?
=3 I was there today in St. Louis. ^^
My friend Li and I dressed up as Team Rocket. We were a *huge* hit. ^_^ Nobody else dressed up as Team Rocket... ;_; very few people dressed up in general. We did get to chase Pikachu off the stage, though. ^_^
Hey, watch for us! We might be in the commercial and/or newscasts for the Houston and San Diego "Pokemon Rocks America" place thingies. ^^ They recorded us doing the TR Motto, and holding up signs that said "Our jobs are at stake! Donate your Pok?mon!"
But anyway, enough about us. I'll tell you about the convention. Over here, it was DEFINITELY worth it. There was an arcade FULL of Pokemon games for every system. Much fun. They screened the first two episodes of Pok?mon Advance in English for us-- I saw the first one on KidsWB a few months back, but the second one was something new. (If there's any hardcore Megaman fans out there, one might notice that Team Magma dresses a LOT like Original Protoman...)
There was also a load of awesome games on stage, too. I missed the karaoke contest... I was eating... and I wasn't even hungry... I could have won a GBASP. But there was a shouting contest ("Shout your favorite Pok?mon's name!!"), a Pok?mon impression contest (I got to be Jigglypuff. Everyone was so SHOCKED at my Jigglypuff impression, I sounded just like her!!), and of course, a raffle for the Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire games.
And, if nothing else, go for the people. I found that I could strike up a conversation with almost anybody with perfect ease. Although, most of them started with, "Look! It's Team Rocket! Hi, Team Rocket!"
Once Li gets the pictures developed, I'll show you guys. Although we did make it onto Pokemon.com. ^_^

Li and I are the ones in the Team Rocket costumes, next to the giant Mudkip. I'm wearing white. XD My hair is so messed up...
