I, THE GREAT INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL THAT I AM, IS A GUEST OF THIS CONVENTION, AND HAVE BEEN ELEVATED TO CELEBRITY STATUS FOR THE WEEKEND.

I wonder if there will be any goggles there?
I myself own 3 pairs.
It's "poltroons".

Misspelling is Steampunk. Srsly.
I am a spelling industry professional. I am NOT HAVING THIS.
You is a guest!
(That, for some reason, made me giggle more than anything else)
I IS!

KYFMS
:lol:
My money is on the bathroom facilities being fuxorred without any assistance.
(And don't ask what's in the oven, at the moment...)
Actually last year, the extent of the cleanliness of the restrooms surpassed my best guess based on what I've experienced from other genre conventions. Steampunks may as well be the next evolution of nerd, as in, they know where the toilet paper goes after you use it, AND flush.
This is probably why they're not much fun at parties. If you're acting civilized at a con, you're DOIN IT WRONG.
There's a line between civilized and proper hygiene, though.

Norwescon hasn't been worth a shit since about 1999, in all fairness.
But yeah, you did. I really should have made time to stop in for a few hours, but it was, uhh, so far out of the way from, uhh, Kent.
I has Yuengling.

You expected him to leave such an opportunity unexploited? Ignorant heathen. The goat is only the beginning, as you'll learn as the weekend progresses...
Be sure to take pictures, lest the truth be lost.
On a side note, be glad I'm not there, despite the additional room fees my absence forces on the rest of y'all. I went to work today. It sucked at times. My mood improved slightly when my ability to taste food and drink returned in time for dinner, but I'm still congested, hoarse, coughing up weird things and angry at the world. Mucinex only goes so far. If I was crashing on a hotel room floor, you'd all have to listen to me whine. As it is, I can sip cheap scotch, wait for my strength to return and anticipate you guys recounting various shenanigans. Please don't disappoint me.

The Deacon Richter later informed the young man's girlfriend that no satisfaction was gained in return for this act.
Richter nearly succeeded in rupturing my spleen. Corset off and in civvies for the rest of the night.

Clothes are more fun when someone has to brace themselves on a wall in order to help you put them on.
Is it bad I was more interested in the boots and what look like spats Ritcher is wearing than Suu's corset?

Sadly, we are ill prepared in the flamethrower department. I blame Richter.
(For the record, I read aloud before posting. Richter says, "I need three minutes." If you don't hear from us by Monday, send bail money, a GOOD lawyer, and Bactine.)

Off to become a Victorian vigilante? Or to solve mysteries perhaps? Next on your list should be some singlestick or the Vingy method of walking stick defense.

Going to play with this one for awhile... and see what can be worked into SCA fencing to cause marshalls to shit themselves on the field.

Back in the mid-90's when Riff and The Admiral and I were going to raves, we talked about making a Jules Verne style mixer for DJ's. However, none of us had the woodworking ability or general craftiness to be able to put it together, and not enough money to pay someone to do it for us.
That's Jake von Slatt's piece. We got to see in IN the Victorian Schoolbus. He brought it there this year and let people inside. I got pics on my Facebook.
Here's Jesus (who was wearing a full carpenter belt) being taken to the ER on Saturday night when the Rapture didn't go off as planned:

Yes, it was fake, the EMTs were having a BLAST with us.

Ewg.
Yep, wait til I tell her. She's probably laugh, but still...That's just fucking disgusting.
First of all, I'd never sit on the lap of the Catholic Pope.
Second of all...HE'D HAVE FUCKING LOST TEETH IF HE DID THAT TO ME.
Someone needs hot sexy mail order pubic lice, methinks...
