Rathacon

[cornerofmadness]

For anyone new to my blog, Rathacon is a tiny pop culture con in Athens OH and at this point my friends are the ones running the whole shebang. I am not up for being there all day yet but I was there half the day at the airship table which was...not the airship, not really. MK had her Audrey II stuff all over the table, showing off her skills (It was super popular) she's working for small theaters this day creating props.

The reality is the three leaders of our airship are gone now and we were talking about maybe using a new winery (whose owners are also steampunk) as a meeting place maybe once a month to see if there is a way to become more cohesive again. MK is a few years older than me and we enjoy chatting. My other friend MFK was there with her witchy stuff and the vendors were...about the same as always. I bought something from an indie comic book creator (who's enby) and a book from an indie publisher Henlo Press I'm going to keep an eye out for their open calls.

For me the vendors were a touch heavy on fan art of which I need NOTHING. Slap me into next week if I buy more. I did find a solitary vendor who had Hazbin Hotel stuff Unicorn Massacres (it's not on their web page yet at least the search doesn't show any) The angel dust one was a bit cheesy cakey so I only got a sticker and a book mark. No Sir Pentious for Flippy. And the Alastor art was cool but it was Radioapple and I don't ship it. the Chaggie print was cute (but not in sticker form sadly)

I got a lot of cool pics and I won two of the raffle items, the Moth Man Squishy and an Amigurumi of the Abominable Snow Man and his Pine Tree (I need to name him).

I had never worn my black lace shirt with my bluish corset before. Um...the results were MUCH bustier than anticipated. Multiple men asked me for selfies with them (which has NEVER happened before) and there's an old dude who has been the photographer for the con (and our steampunk events) for YEARS. He has never taken a photo of me in a decade. Today with my tits half out, he didn't just take a pic, he had me do a photo shoot. Honestly, men.

I left early to go to the Abney Park concert only to get home and find out that while Flippy thought the ticket was in the upcharge for the signed CD (for my upcoming B-day) it wasn't. You had to pay a dollar more. We're all equally unimpressed by this (honestly this band makes such dumb business choices...) Oh well. I'm exhausted anyhow.

Also I met my friends at Sol for Cuban food before I went to the con.

This looks like a hoot! I hope your airship is able to re-cohese. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

It was and thanks. I h ope so too. The original person to put the group together lives in Columbus now BUt that puts her only an hour away just like me. The problem is she often works nights now

Ghostbusters!

*ahem* It seems like a good time was had by all!

And you're wearing a very attractive necklace!

[cornerofmadness]

I wish the ghostbuster groups were closer because I'd join up

the two nearest are both about 1 1/2 hours away

thanks, got her at the oddities convention in Columbus back in 22

[suzume]

I think I'd want to do that too (join up). Looks fun!

Oh, that's cool.

[cornerofmadness]

You can google that because it should be a fun group. they do charity work

[suzume]

Hmm, interesting!

[cornerofmadness]

I need to go to more fan conventions they always look like fun. I love all the cosplay.
