I have, however, seen pretty much everyone from the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Marvel universes, along with a collection of Tolkien inspired hobbitses, elves, wizards, and orcs. Oh, and once there was a TRON guy with rope lights hot-glued to a leotard. Mostly, it's the ever popular 'I dunno what they're supposed to be, but they're certainly happily drunk about it!' costumes.<BR/><BR/>No robots.
