My friend John Hodgman had never cosplayed before, so I invited him to walk the floor with me at Comic-Con as Chewbacca. (He's on the left.) Full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3pTRBqHs1g
This was us after the walk. Yes, we were very sweaty.
We actually ended up not taking the weapons on the floor because we didn't have the proper tags beforehand, which is a new SDCC rule this year. We got stopped by security just outside the doors, and had to leave them behind with a friend.
John actually said later he was relieved we had to leave the weapons behind, since they're heavy and it was easier for him to concentrate on walking and taking photos without worrying about carrying something too.
After people commented about my lack of black makeup around the eyes after Silicon Valley Comic Con, we added it. It does make a difference, now that I know how to wash it off properly. (Thanks, Frank Ippolito.)
We did this Incognito on Thursday, when the Comic-Con floor was crowded but not nearly as crowded as Friday and Saturday.
If you watch to the end of the Incognito video, you'll see one drawback to these costumes. Whups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3pTRBqHs1g

Drop the iconic glasses, the eye shadow is a good look for you @mistersavage.

Aren't you a bit short for a Chewbacca?

Hang on, I want a bit of background info here. WHEN did you invite him to go cosplaying with you? Did he have the time to make his suit /1
CheesecakePi
himself, or was this a last minute thing and for whatever reason you just so happened to have a spare Chewbacca costume? 2/2

"Thought you could go to SDCC with weapons eh? Myth Busted!" - security guard. Probably.

That's cool Adam Savage tagged along
joey92lx
At 7:52 the guy that stays on the camera as Adam and John walk by does a weird thing with his eye. It was weird but appreciated.

He also wrote some awesome books. He's an expert on everything.
thespottedbunny
he does an excellent podcast in which he judges petty arguments between friends, "Judge John Hodgman." It's pretty funny.

This sounds spectacular!

Great cameo on Harmon Quest as well. His character was named "Han Jodgman."

Nothing wrong with watching the whole video, it's all entertaining.

Like, I KNOW you're an imgurian, but I keep forgetting, and then I roll across a SDCC post in usersub and my day gets better.

A @mistersavage post in usersub?!

It's more likely than you think!

Well done!

Wonder how many people afterwards went "OMG that was Adam Savage?!?!?" These events must be so much fun.
lolatwopawz
Me. GODDAMNIT. I saw him but was so busy with my husband's YouTube stuff with marvel I didn't think twice about it.
Yinyang107
Was gonna go "You're friends with John Hodgman? " until I checked the username.
mistersavage
We see that a lot on social later, that people had no idea it was me. I love doing the Incognitos -- it's a highlight of the con for me.
ilovebees
Probably more fun for you, AND a way cooler story for the people who realize after!
zellar2020
I loved you on Mythbusters Adam, but your Tested channel is the best. I learn a lot and find you very genuine. I appreciate that!
stevetehpirate
Do you do the same thing on imgur? A secret account dwelling in the bowels of usersub, experiencing the toil of us commonfolk?
allthenamesaregone
It'd let you experience it in a whole new way. I can only imagine how difficult it is to have a normal experience when you're so well-known.

Judge John Hodgman rules. That is all.

Like I appreciate the reference but I'm going to have side with Merriam-Webster on that one. It is a sandwich.

Aren't you guys a bit short for some wookiees?
dovebair
Overly acknowledging your physical limitations removes a lot of the fun from cosplay.... People should be able to dress up how they like
TheDogInARedAirplane
Question: Have you ever seen the original trilogy? Remember the part when Luke and Han dress up as stormtroopers and rescue princess Leia?
