Steamcon was this weekend, which I enjoyed more than I had expected. Oddly enough my electro-mechanical goggles didn't get a single comment. Sensory overload, I get that, but still. Working gears, people!
But more importantly, I discovered the best pants I have ever bought. I don't think I can inline this image, and I can't stick it up on my own server at the moment, so you'll just have to click. They're really sturdy and fun and omg comfortable. The same people make cargo hakama which will be mine. Oh yes. That can wait until slightly warmer weather, though. These have all immediately jumped up to favorite lower-body covering status, up there with my Utilikilts. They should be equally awesome for Burning Man. (They also carry a vest I really want. And the prototypes on their flickr feed, I want all of it. I want to do awesome things while wearing all of it.)
As you can see, though, these are pants that really demand big, awesome, stompy boots. And I'm finding my lifelong rejection of fashion a bit of a hinderance here -- REI doesn't carry what I want, so I'm helpless. Where does one go to get big awesome boots? That one can do a lot of walking in? I've had the Fluevog store recommended, any others in town? Can you really mail order footwear? My feet are a more standard aspect ratio than they were as a kid, but surely you still need to try on shoes before you buy them? Help!
