We just got back from Darth Maul Con - I mean - Adventure Con, and are now in LURVE with Ray Park.  (You were right all along, Grace!  )
Seriously, he was the only guest who always had a line and he was the nicest. guy. ever. He never refused a pic or an autograph or a handshake - nuthin! Even as he was trying to leave, his manager tried to deter some fans and Ray blew the guy off and continued to sign stuff and autograph pics.
Here's a few initial pics - more to come: (Roo and I both had pics made with him, but they're on other cameras, lol)

Here's a video - it's not zoomed, we were that close. And it's real time - he was THAT FAST. 
He came to Kevin/Lin/Steve's booth! (Note the Jetta comic.)
He did a demonstration ad lib.....it was awesome!
Dayyuumm!
Erm....yeah....

The man is awesome, and so incredibly down-to-earth that you become an instant fan upon meeting him. I certainly am.
And I got him with Howard from TFP. I'm looking forward to editing that video.
Grace: I have about a half-hour of footage of him in action to put on DVD for you.
Trace and Roo: I noticed the angle y'all were filming him from!

Vesper, I don't think I met you but we'll have to fix that next time.
Tim, Sal, and Trace - I had an awesome time! You always make the geek life fun (and even the dullest people interesting to be around) and I'm glad I was there with you guys. Holly, lookin' good in that armor. I've got a pic I've got to send to you.

Had an awesome time this weekend! It was great to see all our Southern cohorts in SW fandom again.
I'm still compiling pics and have another video of Ray to post.
Does anyone have a pic of the big 501st/Jedi Assembly/Rebel Legion shot?

Thanks, Hollie!
Here's another video, this one of Ray and Ryan. I missed the duel with the three "Jedi" - guy with the big steadycam and a clone trooper stepped right in front of me.

GAH! TFN FINALLY let me freaking log in!!! 
God, I wanted to go so **** badly!! Ugh, it's so not fair!! RAY PARK WAS IN TENNESSEE AND I COULDN'T GO SEE HIM!!! *dies*
Yeah, he's so awesome. ^^ I'll never forget the first time I met him. *sigh*
It's so awesome that you guys got pics and videos of him actually doing his stuff!! I've never gotten to see him playing around in RL. He was always just chillin' behind a table. The security guys at Celebration III wouldn't let ppl take pics with him everytime I went to get his autograph.  curse my luck!!
Tim THANK YOU!!!
Traci, Rhonda, and Hollie Yep...that angle is REAL nice...
Well...I hope I get to see him again sometime...
