Steamfest if over, sadly. I had a lot of fun and I’ll have to prepare a post all about it later when I’m not so tired. We had an amazing time. Got to hang out with D.J Butler, the awesome writer of the “Rock band fights evil” series.
I have some interesting conversations at conventions. Some are good, some are odd, some are just amusing. This conversation happened almost word for word while I was hanging out with David at my zombie booth.
I’m relatively certain this lady didn’t mean to actually say that, but it struck me as so odd and funny I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What would a steampunk/victorian handy be like? I imagine a lot of steam, which leads to painful burns. Also there’s the gears and bits of brass…. That’s going to cause some serious chaffing. You know what I bet it would just hurt. I’m going to have to pass.
Wait… I must’ve missed your table, where were you guys at the con? Then again, it was pretty packed there, so it wasn’t that hard. Maybe you guys saw me? I was the guy dressed in the top hat, with goggles, had a goatee, and… wait… everyone was wearing that… I had the nicest goggles actually made of leather and metal and was the only one with an actual Victorian cloak?
Still, not bad for a first year, huh?
Wait, you say you had a top hat? And goggles?
Why yes I do remember you. You were the one with the girlfriend who wore a corset right?
Lol, I saw so many versions of that it was awesome.
No no… I wasn’t with a girlfriend with a corset, but I was wearing a long flowing cloak, and carrying a modified revolver.
it was a pretty awesome night, especially with the guy with mechanical wings.
That con did great for a first year convention. It had a few problems with it though. It was packed, sold out, and hot… All except for the hot thing those are actually really good problems to have a at con. Guess we’ll just need a bigger place next year.
Lol you know Carter I actually wouldnt be surprised if that woman knew EXACTLY what she was saying. Lol those little fans probably were the best selling item there
If I would have known the temperature there. I would have made fans to sell as well. Would have made a killing at that.
Oh well. Next year.
I remember that conversation! That was my fiance and just so you know, she’s a flirt, a writer, and twisted(ok that was a bit redundant, but hey…). She knew EXACTLY what she was saying. 🙂
A flirt, a writer, and twisted. That’s awesome. You should marry her fast then.
Tell her that conversation had us cracking up for the rest of the con. Visualizing what a steampunk “handy” might be like is not good for the psyche though. 🙂
I hope the place they get get next year is not so hot
Agreed. It was hot. I blame Utah. Holy crap this state gets hot sometimes. Why do I live here. I clearly have to much insulating blubber to be happy.
I should go jogging more.
I was under the impression that there was nothing but Mormons in Utah. Isn’t that where their factory is?
It’s actually about 40% of the population. But yes there’s a lot. 🙂
