Awesome pics!  Those are GREAT 'shops.

...speaking of pics, I keep forgetting to take one of my goggles...>.<

Since someone brought up other side-genres, I'd love love love to see Shadowrun catch on with garbers.  Combines magic, super science, and shady dealings.

SirRichardBear, tell your friends the steampunk invasion is ON!  We want to make a big steamy splash so bringthembringthembringthem!  Could I get their names for the badge/favor?

I'll ask this weekend if they're ok with me posting their names.

Or just let me know how many I need to make for your entourage.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a time/place for a meetup?  I was thinking the 9:30 am Tartanic performance at the Dove Meadow Stage to say hello & have a picture (or 10) taken while we're still fresh.  We can enjoy a great act & hang or go on our seperate ways & meet again at the usual noon meetup at the POW.  What say you?

How about some time later?  I might not be in the gate by 10 am.

How about 11, Cast in Bronze, the Cloisters?  I'll definitely be at the 9 Tartanic, if anyone wants to come say hello.

11 sounds much better to me, also, Taffy, since I seldom make Cannon, myself!  I'll most likely be standing in line waiting for Grov to pull my laces, anyway, since I can't get myself tightened without help, and he's quite handy that way!  :D  He might have some extra help in camp this year, though, since I understand there will be several Friends of the Bayou Scoundrels visiting during AHE... (although, from what I understand there may be Mimosas and Blood Mary's involved, so we may all be late... ::) )   :D

There will be two in Steampunk The wife and I will be in our normal garb.

Yeah, I had to go back several pages to find the post.  I really should update this more often, but hate to nag.  I need to see if I've made enough, w/a few to spare (I made you, Rani, something special).

Shadowrun is awesome!  I wonder, though, how you would garb to differentiate it from generic cyperpunk?  Only thing I can think of would do something like be an elf or a troll in cyperpunk gear.

One word to differentiate Cyberpunk from Shadowrun. Magic.  Anyone can wear talismanic charms of protection and such.  Even the most cutthroat cybered street sam might have a little mojo bag around his neck.

Was 11, Cast in Bronze @ the Cloisters good w/everyone?  Or we could just meet @ the regular noon RF meetup at the PoW? What say you?
