The LAist caption says it all “she even danced old.”
8. Ms. Pac-Man

Believe it or not there were actually two groups of people dressed up as Pac-Man characters. We’ll give extra points to the crew of 10 for taking it beyond the original game into the realm of the Ms. Pac-Man sequel.
7. The Female Cop

She can put us under arrest anytime. There were plenty of complaints about folks who freaked everyone out because their cop costumes looked too realistic, but I don’t think anyone doubted that this woman wasn’t there to protect and serve.
6. Wookbusters

There were plenty of amazing group costumes, but Wookbusters was our favorite. We hope they bagged themselves #17 before the weekend was over.
5. The Robot

We not only love this costume, we also love that The Robot kept in character while dancing the night away.

Our pal Bradley spent days building this costume only to have it break in shipping. Thankfully he was able to put it together with the help of his wife MacGyver-style.
3. Hacksaw Jim Duggan

We hear that ol’ Hacksaw didn’t break character all weekend.
2. Golden Shower

We heard so much about Mr. Golden Shower before we saw the picture that we just couldn’t believe the costume would live up to the hype. We were wrong.
1. Phish Bobbleheads

They nailed it from the basic idea to execution. Bonus points for how good the instruments look and for paying tribute to the band who performed all weekend. Gotta love Page’s new shirt.
