Norwescon 2005

Easter weekend came early this year, and was near the end of March. As is our usual, Michael and I went to Norwescon.This year I managed to enjoy the convention more than I have the last few. Two things helped with this. (1) was going to the opening ceremonies, seeing Suzette Haden Elgen and deciding that I wanted to see more of her. (2) I went to one panel session on Thursday night, and remembered that I never enjoy them, and resolved to not attend any more the rest of the weekend. We focused on the "1 person shows" (Which fit with #1 very well).
I enjoyed attending most of Suzette Haden Elgen's sessions. She's smart and funny, and I found the linguistics discussions fascinating.	Erika had the best fairy wings I've ever seen. In keeping with the conventions "language" theme, these are metal wings with poetry magnets on them.	This is the Orbital Platform Maintenance crew, taking a coffee break. Clever.	Here's my Friday night outfit. I got lots of compliments and attention for this. It was quite entertaining for me. Unfortunately, this being the first time I'd worn these boots I was only able to keep them on for a couple hours.
Here's Mike and Elle on Saturday afternoon, in costume.	Mike won a hall costume award for this outfit, which Elle made for him.	Michael looking handsome.	And checking out the afternoon program with Elle. Deciding what to do next.
Me and Tamara, on Saturday night. I always enjoy running into folks here that I don't get to see hardly anywhere else.	She has a beautiful seaweed tattoo that wraps around her body. We even talked about doing portraits, which would be lots of fun.	Ashley, another person I don't get to see often enough.	Janice, and baby Don being terribly cute (and this is coming from me, the gal who really doesn't like children.)
