Take Me Away, I Don't Mind

A few months back, a Booster Gold cosplayer sent me his pics with the Doctor's TARDIS. Another cosplayer has now contacted me with pics of her encounter with another, perhaps even more famous time machine.

Booster Gold at the Chicago ComicCon

This photo was taken at the Chicago ComicCon, where the Back to the Future DeLorean was promoting the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. A worthy prop for a worthy cause!

What pop-fiction time machines are left for Booster cosplayers to conquer? H.G. Welles Time Sled? The Time Tunnel? Bill and Ted's Phone Booth? The Guardian of Forever? Get cracking, convention goers; there's a universe of time machines out there for Booster Gold to pose with!

Better Tardis Than Never

David dropped by the comments on Tuesday's post about C2E2 cosplayers to point out that I had left out an important participant. Namely, I'd left out him. And he seems none to happy about that. Clearly, he went through a lot of trouble to let me know.

Sorry about that oversight, David. I'd hate to miss a Booster Gold costume with a sweet collar like that. I'll try to be more thorough in the future. Or the past. Or whenever. (Time travel is so complicated.)

Haha this shouldn't make me feel like as much of an asshole as it does. My booster went largely unnoticed, other than the pictures I took I couldn't find any.

As far as Booster goes, I'm a super fan, I even have Booster Gold and Blue Beetle tattooed on my arm. It's basically a serious medical condition.

As far as the costume goes I wasn't upset you missed me, Boosteriffic is just the only place I know that appreciated the Corporate Crusader as much as me.

The design is mine actually, I'm an independent comic book artist, it came out of a discussion about back to the future and Booster getting stuck in the fifties. The idea being he had to have Ted rebuild their equipment and it ended up like a bad 80s movie about the fifties.

The jacket is all leather, custom made by the lovely peachykiki.

Stay golden, and thanks for the love lol.

Enjoy the spotlight, David, and don't feel embarrassed. Demanding your due is the Booster Gold way!

(We're going to need proof of that Blue and Gold tattoo, by the way.)

I'd love to know what you wonderful Booster Buddies think of all this.

The first thing that I have to say is, "a Norm Breyfogle Batman tattoo?" You know he's never drawn Booster Gold, don't you?

Clearly, you are a Booster Gold superfan, David. I tip my goggles to you, sir.
