Steampunk. Oh, and Dragon*Con.

                       

Dragon*Con 2010 has come to a close. Your leader attended. Your leader experienced copious amounts of fun with 30,000 other geeks and stealth geeks. It was pure funtasy. Sci-fun and funtasy.

There were so many people in costume it was impossible to photograph them all. Here are some photographs taken (on Saturday): http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=2107008&id=41802390

This photo album is a mix of the good and the bad, the funny and the serious, the tasteful and the inapproaps. Enjoy my friends.

Whilst looking through the photo album, you may notice your leader in costume as well. A Steampunk costume. Yet, what is this “Steampunk” being spoken of? Well, Steampunk is a sub-genre of sci-fi. Imagine if someone from the year 1850 were to imagine 2010. In their mind the clothing would be from that period and the technology would include nothing digital, but would be steam powered and/or contain clockwork mechanics. It’s a hypothetical “what-if” future.

At Dragon*Con 2010 there were easily over 300 Steampunk cosplayers (costumers).

This crew calls themselves the Apparition Abolishers (Steampunk Ghostbusters).

This was an impromptu shot taken on the street in Hotlanta. Your leader is the young one.

Costume for next year: Cerberus armor from the video game Mass Effect 2.
