We Did It

CostumeCon26, is over, it is a thing of the past.

We not only finished our costumes, although there was some hand finishing in the hotel room, but our presentation was fabulous, none of us ended up killing each other, our music had the green room conga-ing, and the our pun got at least minutes worth of groans.  Oh and we even won an award acknowledging our evil work.  All in all "The Evil Satinist Cult" was a success.

In other news My Sweet Thomas got an award (that he so richly deserved, cough cough WorldCon) at the Mad Science Fair: A Prop Show, for his Smoke Effect back pack, from "Red Badge of Courage"

Sadly there wasn't that much programming, and what programs I did want to see were scheduled against a panel I was on. A panel I had been shanghaied into, and one that had the wrong title, no program description, was in a room that wasn't set up for lectures, and was against all the other Scifi panels.  We ended up with 3 audience members, which is embarrassing enough, but add that to the fact we were in a huge empty ballroom, and yeah it sucked.

My Sweet Thomas and I have been telling various mundanes about our weekend, and when we tell them that we "won", they always say, "That's great what did you win, cash, a prize?"  We are left grinning really hard and saying, "Well it's not that kind of competition, really.  It's more about the fun."  Then the mundanes give us that, oh how sad for you to be so crazy,  look and grin real hard as they back away.

I wish I could have gotten WoW on my Laptop, that way I could have at least have attended the AIE guild craft faire, maybe I would be less cranky.

Hopefully all the fun and people I missed at CC26,  will be at BayCon.

On a side note....
I'm not a big fan of all the ribbon-ing that happens at Cons, in fact I'm getting weirdly curmudgeonly about it, to the point where I poopoo any and all ribbons, and plot fantastic anti ribbon antics.  I know it's weird, who cares let it go move on,  blah blah blah....

That being said I really liked my badge and ribbons for CC26.  Not quite a epitaph, but perhaps not a bad bio in a forum.
