My Wondercon wrapup

The show is held in a cavernous building that defies belief. It was actually possible to sit in the front row for a bunch of panels. Compare and contrast Musician panel: Polite audience, moderator remains at podium, everyone listens takes a turn; .VS. Writer panel: Moderator roams around using wireless microphone, everyone listens and talks, then the audience rushes the stage at the end. When it's over the audience is supposed to leave! Or at least sit there and wave. Rant.

Rather enjoyed the Steampunk 101 panel (picture above). The panelists wore costumes! And the audience was polite which means the audience didn't rush up to the stage at the end.

Souveniers and things. Better pictures available elsewhere such as
