OMG Steam Con is this weekend!!! With that out of the way, what's Steam Con, you ask? It is Seattle's first authentic steampunk convention, down by Sea-Tac Airport. Aside from general geekery, I'm looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts. Maybe it's just the types of folks that are attracted to the sub-genre, but I find it easier to socialize (initially) with Steampunks. I've been to Sakura Con twice, and the folks I encounter just don't seem as gregarious as the begoggled ladies & gents I hang out with at the Wayward Coffee House. The notable exception being the "Free Hugs" kids, but they creep me out a bit. Anyway, I'll definitely have some tabletop games in my car (Steampunks tend to like old-fashion stuff like that :> ), and hope to get some pictures posted of the event, afterwards. If anyone who reads this is going to be down there, by all means drop me a line, and we can get our Carcassonne on or something. :D
