Linucon: Adventures in Costuming
The last discussion panel on Friday I went to was "Adventures in Costuming" with Cathy Raymond (Eric's wife) and Jay Maynard, a.k.a The Tron Guy. He is shown in one of the pictures here in a Tron costume (with Cathy Raymond). I had to leave this panel halfway because it was late and Erika was getting tired. Anyway, it was mostly Jay Maynard talking about all the fame (or infamy) that the Tron costume brought him. After a press story about him was posted on Slashdot, he braced for negative comments to come rolling in. He expected comments such as "a fat guy shouldn't be wearing spandex" and... by golly, he got them. Several hundreds. But there were also a lot of people who said his costume was cool. He appeared some television talk shows. Even Howard Stern contemplated inviting him to his radio show, but decided that the story won't make enough impact without the visuals.
