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.

I used to have a lot of fun at OryCon, but when I went last fall it felt a bit dead. Confluence in Pittsburg seemed pretty great, the one time I went. I have a lot of friends deeply loyal to Arisia and BayCon, but I've never been.
