One of the joys of sci-fi/fantasy conventions is admiring the creativity and skill that people put into making cool costumes. Since I have a lot of costume photos, I'll be making a separate post for each day's costume pics. Also, if anyone can help me identify costumes, I'd appreciate it.
Steampunk was very popular this year; there were some very elaborate costumes on parade, and lots of vaguely "Victorian-adventuress"-looking young ladies. Some costumes were also less elaborate.
Vest, antique wrist-watch and a beltpack of batteries apparently qualify as 'Steampunk'

Naavi girl from 'Avatar'

Can I sit down now? Please?

This poor girl was so popular with the photographers that she hardly got a chance to sit down between people requesting photos. Oddly, she was the only Naavi character I noticed the whole Con. I think there may have been some costumed soldiers from the movie, but I didn't know enough to tell them from all the other costumed soldiers running around (We had Star Wars Imperial Army, Stormtroopers, Halo troopers, other assorted well-known video game troopers, etc. Who is that guy in the red beret, for instance?).
Scooby-Doo, where are you? The dealer room, obviously.

I found this familiar trio in the Dealer room/Exhibitor Hall.
Black angel

I have no idea if this guy is supposed to represent anyone in particular, but he looked cool.
Lobster Johnson, from the "Hellboy" comics

A feminine Anubis

Sauron with prisoner

Shaun, from "Shaun of the Dead"

The Beertrooper!

Who can resist the Bud Light Stormtrooper?
