Yes well. You did recognize them wrongly. And I don't have much against the world. or at least this humanity you speak of.

[Entsuropi]

He is, however, correct. Thats chobits cosplay. Very strange romantic anime with robot things.

I've finally gotten the last half of my WorldCon photos back. And I'm never taking film to that place again. I thought I'd give them a few weeks to get better, and then try them again. This time all my film came out blue-green tinted, and I've just spent the whole morning fixing the pictures in Photoshop. The prints are okay, but slightly out of focus. Not happy with them at all. You can see the difference in quality just between the early Worldcon photos and the most recent. Perhaps it combined with some bad photography on my part, but I'm not *that* bad.

Anyway, the album is updated, so here you go:

and click on "WorldCon photos."

Again, if anyone wants a better electronic copy of any of these, let me know--these are extremely low-res. Also, I have an extra set of prints (free doubles), so if anyone wants any of them, let me know and I'll snail mail them to you.

Stacer, you should ask for you money back if they did a realy bad job developing.

Great pics!

It was my last day of work, and I was too tired with everything I'd been doing this last week to bother with it. I think in this case it'll be good enough to just never go there again. They can't give me my film in better condition--it's the negs that have the problem.

Is anybody having a hard time accessing the link? When I click on it, I get an error message.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, i had trouble getting in, but I just removed the "img" bit from the URL and I got in just fine. if you edit that out of your post, the link should work ok.

[stacer]

Aha! Yes, now it works.

I think, at least, that those chobits cosplayers are actually girls. I saw another set of pictures of guys doing those exact same characters, and their costumes were just as good and they were just as beautiful. It was rather freaky.

The NASFiC 2005 deadline for the cheap price of $85 is November 30 (this month). That's coming up. What do people say? Anyone else want to go? I'd be more likely to register now if I knew other people were going.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Hmmm.

I'd be more likely to register if I had ANY clue what NASFiC was.

Can you explain?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

NASFiC is just like Worldcon. Except not.

Well, on the years where Worldcon is held outside of the USA or Canada, they hold a North American Science Fiction Convention in some city somewhere, for the people who will not be able to travel overseas. Since next year's Worldcon is in Scotland, NASFiC is coming, to Seattle. Basically there will be lots of authors and editors (though not as many as at Worldcon) and panels and fans and stuff. And it's cheaper than Worldcon. But it doesn't have Hugos like Worldcon does.

Speaking of WorldCon, I get a mailer every week from various airlines, and there's a weekend special, this weekend, from Delta--Salt Lake City to Boston (and vice versa) $198. I say, WorldCon reunion in Boston!   Only thing is, it's a Saturday-Tuesday fare. Y'all don't have anything going on Monday or Tuesday, do you?  

[Spriggan]

Ya, we could all go and stand in that death trap of a tunnel you've got there.

Yeah, the Big Dig has had problems for about 20 years now. Rumor has it that it's run by the Mob.

Oh, and another fare sale I just saw today: Boston to London is $250 right now. Too bad I don't have the extra cash for an international trip!
