Worldcon Masquerade Results
Well, I entered the improved version of my steampunk mad-scientist-with-a-hamster-gun costume in Worldcon's Masquerade, and came away with an Honorable Mention for the Journeyman class. There was some seriously impressive competition! I did get a lot of compliments from random people as well. :) I was a little surprised not to get any workmanship nods for my props, but you never know what any individual judge will be impressed by. Oh well!
Otherwise the convention is going quite well. I took a "ghost tour" of Old Town Montreal where the morbid guide takes you to various places that are supposed to be haunted. :) Old Town still retains much of its old European flair; I plan to go exploring on my own eventually.
I was surprised to see economist Paul Krugman was speaking at the con; I built the websites for his textbooks at work. Apparently he's a sci-fi fan.
I have two days left and will drive back down on Tuesday.
