Norwescon 34

[gfish]

Last weekend was Norwescon, and I haven't enjoyed a con that much in a very long time. I'm not sure what the difference was. It helped, of course, that I was showing off lots of cool stuff that I've made: I wore the laser helmet and lightsuit at nights when party hoping, and had the electro-mechanical goggles on during the day. I think I finally found an effective outfit to use with my steeplejack pants, judging by the comments I got. (And I finaIly bought a pair of the cargo hakama from the same people!) I also had some other random toys like the fireprop and brass fan to show off at my "you can make neat stuff at home, you don't need fancy tools, honest!" panel. My panels generally went quite well. Only one of them was sparsely attended, and I think I performed my moderation duties with style.

Generally, though, I think I was getting off on the feeling of being part of cluster of very cool people. vixyish and tfabris's concert was just great, tereshkova2001 was amazing in her avatar costume, and ladydrakaina's TARDIS dress was a bit hit (not to mention super cute). Agora and friends were there in style, and that felt really great.

So comfy. I've only worn them once, though, so far. I'm waiting for my Pinkerton vest to get made to really complete that outfit.

You should model them! I'm very curious what cargo hakama look like. I would think you'd need a pretty significant belt to keep them up when the pockets are full, given the number of pockets hakama could support.
