I'm inspired by some photos a friend of mine just posted where she and a few Trekkie (and Trekker, if you wanna get technical) friends went out to the Vasquez Rocks and took photos in costume.
Many, many films and television shows have been filmed on location there, so I'm thinking we could take some pretty awesome photos with a little planning. (For some reason, I'm thinking Spaceballs as a top contender?)
The Vasquez Rocks (http://parks.lacounty.gov/Parkinfo.asp?URL=cms1_033383.asp&Title=Vasquez%20%20Rocks%20Natural%20Area%20and%20 Center) lie on the San Andreas Fault. Also they were the hiding place of bandito Tiburcio (wait for it...) Vasquez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiburcio_V%C3%A1squez). (Here is another detailed history of Vasquez (http://www.californiahistory.com/sample.html))
I don't have a date in mind yet, but I thought I'd open this up for discussion and see if folks would be interested in a day outing.
