MarsCon 2006 has arrived with a bang! Or, at least a bump in the night as that is the cons theme this year.
Sue and I arrived, with our adorable little darling, kind of late on Friday, as we fist spent the day at the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show. It did not take long to run into some familiar faces from cons past who had forgotten about the impending changes in my life. Well, it has been some eight months since the announcement, and many of these folks had not seen since the last party.
The adorable Miss Anna and I made a tour of the science room and checked out the rockets they had on display. The science room is a regular component at both MarsCon and convergence, and is a feature I think all SF conventions should have.
As we got there late, we had time to catch the opening ceremonies, which included a skit introducing the conventions guests. The skit was a hillarious look at three unemployed vampires discussing what to do not that Buffy is in syndicated reruns.
After opening ceremonies, it was time to PARTY!
I hate to admit it, but I think the world Defense Force has the edge on the Rakehell for Best Party, at least d�or-wise. Fluffy informed me he had 20 gallons of Green Death and expected me to put a dent in it. Ill do my best. At last I have a designated driver.
The IKV Rakehell party fits the theme of things that go bump in the night with a Klingon spin to it. This party gives me the heebeegeebeees just thinking about it, it is so terrifying. Due to the nondisclosure agreement that all party goers had to sign, I cannot say more. However, I will have picturesafter the con.
Yes, there were otherparties, including a mad Scientist theme party serving jello shots and other concoctions.
Much fun was had, even though I missed out on the one Friday panel I wanted to see.
More later.
