WonderCon!!!
I went to WonderCon today! I have to admit I didn't do much besides hanging around the Girl Genius booth for like three hours basking in the atmosphere and acting sort of shy. But, I did talk to Phil, who is very nice, and he drew me a Jenka sketch!!!
Edited to add: I posted more pictures here: schmot-gurl.livejournal.com/3611.html
(I hope I did the picture-insert right...)
Yes, I matted it in purple and put it over my bed, lol.
Does anyone know what the swirly thingy on the right (her right) side of her hat is? I don't think I've seen it before.
I also bought myself a Jager pin, and wanted to buy Girl Genius volumes 4 and 6, but they were out of both (and 5 - all until I think May), so I ended up with 1 and 7 instead. ;-)
There was a lot of great steampunk costumes, including a fantastic PaperDoll-costume Agatha (with Gil! And an adorable toddler! And a Dingbot!) and a training outfit Agatha. And a group of I think Wulfenbach people in all sorts of gear. I don't know if it's OK to post pictures here. I think both Agathas are on LJ, but I don't know who they are. Anyway, hi, you two! I was the girl with short dark hair in a black science T-shirt.
I eventually did walk around the rest of the place, saw some fantastic (and expensive) steampunk guns, cool goggles, and a lot of swords and corsets (the two most popular cosplay items?). Ended up buying black leather copper-studded vambraces, for no particular reason. I lack any sort of costume plan (other than it's going to be a Jager), but hopefully one will just sort of appear in my head eventually?... We'll see. It seems like a fun idea, but I've never done it before, and we don't even have Halloween in Poland.
Anyway, I went through my first con experience without too much trauma. ;-) It was fun, although there wasn't all that much to do there by myself. Looking forward to SDCC and meeting some of my LJ friends in person!
