The mascarade

Posted by Jean-Pierre  Published in Anticipation SF 2009, Disguise

In the old days someone came to a dance during the worldcon with a costume inspired by the movie “The day the Earth stood still”.  It was the first occurrence of a costumed participant.  Somebody said to him at this time : I’m afraid it will catch.  There is a mascarade and costumed people since then.  My picture are not very good because of the number of people in the room.  If you have the chance to go to a worldcon one day, you must attend to the mascarade at least once.

Cardboard prop-making

Posted by Jean-Pierre  Published in Anticipation SF 2009, Disguise

Devin Harrigan had one day to much time on his hands and some cardboard left.  Looking for something to do he started making props with cardboard.  We were very surprised about the end results of his work. He taught us some techniques using cardboard and hot glue to build almost anything.  His books are a must for any serious cos-player.  It’s a low cost solution to prop making.

Go see is work on featherweight web site.

The afternoon : change of plan

Posted by Jean-Pierre  Published in Anticipation SF 2009, Disguise

We tried to assist to “Sf  reader to economist” from Paul Krugman.  The room was crowded and it was too much a biography for my taste (first picture).  We have gone to the autograph session of Guy Gavriel Kay instead and had a good look at the art exhibition. We do not have pictures of the art exhibition.  We wish to respect their rights and I think you can find the list of the artists in the convention guide on the Anticipation site.

More parties after in the UK and Bragelonne rooms.
