We'll have to see how the money falls... I really would like to make it there for one day anyway. Haven't been to a con in too many years. I can't remember the last con we went to. It's something I'd like to get back into.

(She also had trouble with her broccoli tubes on occasion...)

Apparently my Granny was always hard of hearing. She used to listen to a radio show called "Portia Faces Life". She once said that was a funny name for a program, "Wash Your Face At Night".

A funny name, but good advice.

Heh. Well, I expect I have a year to recover. Anyway it's the mental scarring that's the worst - saw some things that no one should have to see!

Were there any middle-aged men dressed as Sailor Moon?

Heh, we saw some guys like that at AnimeBoston. Some VEY strange looking folks, but apparently very well behaved, according the the concierge at the hotel where it was held. He said the S&M convention the previous week was kinda wild. ;o)

I don't think costumes that are made by gluing stuff to your underwear, no matter how accurate they are, are really appropriate.

In this photo, I am wearing a bra covered with gold fabric. (A swimsuit didn't offer enough support)

Of course, the most offensive part of that costume is actually the hat. ;~D

The bra was not the piece of underwear I was offended by having to see on multiple people.

You're wearing about six times as much as the ones who made me suffer trauma. Although it is, er, a rather frightening costume.

Only till we start running and that cape flies back

Isn't it? It was a borrowed costume.... Of all the choices, I don't know why one chooses orange and green. And the hat... ack.

And the poor horse! Looks like something out of a sixties version of Arabian Nights.

That's about what it was... a sixties era Arabian Native Costume, taken in about 1982.

LinuCon is a combination science fiction convention and Linux expo, held here in Austin the weekend of Sept. 30. Their website!

Howard Taylor is the creator, writer, and artist of the webcomic Schlock Mercenary. His website!
