Vericon

[ann_leckie]

I had a fabulous time at Vericon last weekend! I got to hang out with some wonderful folks and have some great conversations, and it was just overall a wonderful weekend. Some highlights! First off, the hotel bar had an interesting drink menu:

I decided to try the Pear-side-in Adventure, which was actually quite good.

That was Friday night, and I’m not much of a photographer so I figured that would be the extent of my convention photos. But I was wrong. So, so wrong. Citizens, I give you this team of Interdimensional Cosplayers:

It’s obvious what’s going on here, right? That’s Hamilton/Breq in the middle, and she’s recruited Agent Carter, Lieutenant Peepsarwat, and Translator Zeiat in her search for the Presger gun. That case Agent Carter is carrying?

Holds Presger bullets. Delicious, chocolate Presger bullets.

Look at them. I mean, just look!

It’s kind of difficult to see, but in the cup there’s a tea infuser in the shape of an orange fish.

Anyway. I had a fabulous time–the Vericon volunteers took great care of me, the panels were fun, I got to hang with friends of mine and I had some great lunches and dinners with new people who I’m glad to have met, and my plane left Boston ahead of predicted bad weather. It was about as good a time as a convention can be.

Those are some absolutely fabulous cosplay costumes! And I love the chocolate bullets and the tea infuser. Your picture subtitled "Translator Dlique. Or is it really Zeiat?" comes up as just a question mark for me, though--is there a root source I can go to to look at it?

I got a sorry-that-link-does-not-exist page, but I went to your Twitter feed and found this link:

Is this the photo? (Even if not, this photo is excellent)

Ok, I have fiddled with the source blog post and substituted another version of the file. Does this work?

Yes, that works! And now I see it in your post too. Beautiful picture. I love you, Translator Zeiat... or Dlique!

But that is indeed an excellent picture! :D

These photos are crazy-huge, were you aware? They're totally breaking my friends page...

I'm sorry! I have the blog post to automatically xpost here, and didn't realize the photos would cause a problem here. I'll see what I can do to fix it.

It was lovely to see you and get to have breakfast with you.

Likewise! And thanks so much for helping me with my vocabulary problem!
