May. 30th, 2006 03:42 pmThat was my fortune from my Serenity fortune cookie from Baycon's D(r)ive in movie on Saturday night. :-) The Browncoats rocked! In addition to the special fortune cookies, they handed out Shiny ribbons (so we could all grow just a little longer in our ribbon collection). And lots of them danced in costume later at the Shindig. I'm sure they'd be a great bunch to hang out with (the Silicon Valley branch), but I don't have the bandwidth. So I'll enjoy them when I may!
All told, I really enjoyed Baycon this year. Part of it was I took my time... went in (I didn't stay at the hotel) pretty late each day, as I was out late each night, and did an awful lot of sherpa-ing the first couple days (entire Evil Genius party Stuff went to the con in my car), and part was just attitude. :-) And the presence of friends, both long-established and new. Cool to know, and get to know, some of the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
basfa folks better, as well as see many of my kink community.
Set up for the League of Evil Genius' party took much of Friday, but was entirely worth it.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kingwyatt came out for the party, which made it even better for me. :-) He and Mo checked IDs. Yes, we were visited by Flare, and passed with flying colors. Most of the party, 
Unayok tended the champagne bar, and I (as Dr. Hanso, which was entirely a hit, pleasing me mightily) conducted many experiments, offering noxious potions to the masses. We also got an excellent review in the daily zine the next morning, which made me happy. The tradition continues! Unayok and I had a similar let's-keep-it-low-stress attitude which was really nice. And my iPOD did just fine pouring out the tunes.
My friend Phyllis came as my guest for Sat. and Sun. She did a nice purpley-serenity-esque con-wear outfit, and even brought TJ sushi for dinner one night! :-) She went to at least part of a couple of my panels.
I finally understood why I was on the Costuming at Any Size panel - token male! It worked. ;-) I even contributed a couple useful bits. I was a bit nervous going in to moderate the big Firefly/Serenity/Whedon fannish panel (my first moderating in a Big room), but it all went well. Surely helped that I knew the panelists to one degree and another! That was nifty. My final panel was the Poly panel... which had way more attendees than we on the panel - or the room assignment people - had expected. It was terribly social studies for a good while, but got more personal after a bit. Cool stuff about kids and connecting long-term. Zip about sex! It's interesting, the topic has waxed and waned more than once in the years I've been attending cons.
I skipped out on Monday... the call of the sun and relaxing were just too strong. I do regret missing the Reselling Your Genre Art panel though. If anyone went and picked up any good tips, please let me know! Thanks.
