Highlights of GenCon:

*The kickass group of DC cosplayers, particularly Wonder Woman who also goes to UQ. Also the guy in naught but a pair of short shorts who had painted himself white as part of a rather effective Despair (from Sandman) cosplay.

*Seeing ass-length petticoats selling for $70

*Running into [info]minna and [livejournal.com profile] pect in her epic AP outfit

*"How do you win an RPG?" (I don't think Matt will ever let me live that one down...)

*Running into people we knew from BAS and seeing how old and bitter they'd become

*Going home at around 4pm to sleep and only just waking up an hour ago

Matt and I got invited to an afterparty (which is really the only reason anyone attends these things, right?), but oh God were we exhausted. Maybe I'm getting too old for this stuff. Then again, if I'd been any more energetic I probably would have succumbed to the lure of the karaoke room, and nobody needs that. 

And now to edit the fuck out of the audio grabs I recorded.

She's a friend of ours and I think Disa has her added on facebook, so hopefully there'll be pictures >:) It was a pretty fantastic outfit *___*

Robert Picardo (the hologram guy from Star Trek) came into work today for breakfast - and I was grinning like an idiot.

That's awesome! (And I don't even like Voyager.)

Lol, all those pettiskirts at wicked stuff made me cringe! My mum is even like "I'm glad you don't wear that, lolita is much better" XD

Snubbed? Rofl! Which bodyline dress?

Despair cosplay? Wow. I'd love to see all 7 Endless cosplayed together...

That would be so cool. I bet there'd be >9000 people wanting to dress up as Death.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry... I know how you feel, I get nervous at big events like that too. It was a really nice dress though <3

Are you going to come to the meetup in October? It looks like we're either picnicing or going for high tea at the Stamford Plaza. You should come so I can feed you delicious tea T_____T

OMG, you too! We left a bit early and I didn't get a chance to say aufweidersein... did you go to any of the afterparties?
