totchipanda | Reno, Day One, Part Two

This afternoon I took in a panel by author John Scalzi about his trip to the Creation Museum in Kentucky, which was both amusing and mind-boggling. I started a panel on how to make a costume but it was focused more on people who had no or little costuming experience so I didn't stay long. Took a quick tour around the dealer's hall and then went to the opening ceremonies. The guests of honour, including Dr Demento and Boris Vallejo, were introduced and answered a few questions, and then Tricky Pixie came onstage and performed a hilarious song about an alligator in the house XD

Went back to the dealer's hall, had a quick bite to eat, went to the Dr Demento concert, which was entertaining, and then took in the Tricky Pixie concert, which was fantastic. Then we decided it was time for dinner and chillaxing. My hair is up in pincurls for tomorrow, and I'm about ready for bed :3

This has got to be the most polite con I've ever been to. The fanbase is much older (and also more socially awkward, I think) and maybe it's just that sci-fi readers are more concientious, or something. Most people would ask me, the only person sitting at a table for 10, if they could use this one seat on the other side, or if they could possibly use the seat next to mine. It's kind of refreshing :3
