These cons do still happen, though the art shows are few and far between and the hall costumes likewise and the masquerades are mostly replaced by a costume party, the Maskobalo. But the spirit is still there, even in a Supanova - no art shows, but the hall costumes are there and the masquerades we used to have are there too, in the form of Cosplay. If you like Terry Pratchett, keep an eye out for the next Nullas Anxietas - those are very old-style cons.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-13186420720348864482013-07-03T02:52:06.560-07:002013-07-03T02:52:06.560-07:00It's nice to read about a con - and to know th...It's nice to read about a con - and to know that somewhere real cons are still happening. I spent a recent weekend at Supanova in Sydney because a friend asked me and while it was in many ways fabulous - I loved having a friend to go with - I felt very very old. I'm absolutely sure friend got awfully tired of hearing 'In my day....' S'funny - I remember when I was the new breed of fan and now I'm so old I feel like a dinosaur.JKGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165583457199544780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-62655415828024093172013-06-09T15:12:14.950-07:002013-06-09T15:12:14.950-07:00Glad you enjoyed the post, Lan!

As for my little bit of ego boo, you do have to actually have a book out to get it ;-) as your pan is to self publish, what are you waiting for?
