I-Con on Saturday
I went to I-Con yesterday. I could only go on Saturday, since it's my day off. My mom and one of her knitting friends joined me. I brought my usual Monster in the Darkness cosplay.
The earliest train got me to Stony Brook at around 9:30. It was quite windy and rainy.
I got my membership too late to attend the Theremin Physics panel. I went to the Sorting Ceremony thing in order to kill time before Whose Anime Is It Anyway. It was pretty random. I got Gryffindor.
A little kid dressed as M. Bison was also sorted into Gryffindor.
Whose Anime was basic Whose Line stuff. It was pretty amusing. I was only there for half of it, because I wanted to see Voltaire's stop motion animation. It's pretty cool that he did some of those shorts for the Scifi channel. He managed to get awesome narrators for his videos.
My mom went to Marc Gunn's firefly drinking song performance. She gave him a catnip ball that she needle-felted.
I saw the panel on Bad Science, about the harm pseudo science documentaries cause, since they're being presented as fact(despite the lack of evidence). The scientists in charge of the panel are Forumites.
Cosplay contest had some interesting costume. The skits were kinda amusing, but not memorable.
I went to the second half of the Pirates vs. Ninjas panel. Other categories were added, like 007, Batman. People would bring up points in favor of these categories. Some guy named Ernie got the most points. Random things like Megashark were brought up. I mentioned that Tim Curry voiced Captain Hook.
Voltaire concert was fun. My mom got Voltaire's autograph. I joined in on When You're Evil with a bunch of other audience members. Of course, there were Jazz Hands.
