Steamcon V feature/overview!

I am back from Steamcon and already missing the crazy excitement!

Soooo as much as I would love to just keep posting about all of the amazing fun I will go ahead and do an overview of the full convention.

First off let me say it is totally worth your money to go and I would suggest going ahead and going above and beyond to pay for the special events like concerts and tea. There is a lot that goes into them and you really do get your money’s worth.

First off, for all of the photos stop by my flickr stream (Thank you Michael Cross for letting my high-jack you as my camera man!): http://www.flickr.com/photos/105396424@N02/

Now on to the fun!

This is the kind of convention where you look at the panels and end up having to pick and choose because there are so many interesting topics on hand. I ended up enjoying Rise of Aester, which was my first intro to LARPing:

I fell in love with Unwoman’s music:

She plays the cello in her performances and the way she performs really sucks you in. You end up being swept off your feet by her style and her sweet personality really reels you the rest of the way in. She was such a sweetheart and her spoken tidbits in-between her performances are so freaking adorable. I seriously could have spent hours listening to her play and sing.

I ended up meeting a few really wonderful novelist as well, among them Lisa Mantchev who I featured a few days ago and Ren Cummins who is hysterical:

There were some crazy amazing vendors there with items I was absolutely crazy for. Here are my favorites!

Btw award for best panel ever goes to Choose-your-own-steampunk-adventure which was moderated by Lisa Mantchev and J. Cunningham!

Overall the entire weekend was a blast! I had an amazing time and met so many absolutely amazing people!
