I went to a steampunk con in Tucson earlier this year - it was amazingly badass. I wore a dress, but I wish I had dressed more appropriately with a handmade costume. It's a three day event with contests, dancing, fashion shows, vendors and musical performances. Sooo badass - I'm gonna go for all three days next year.

I went to a fear film con about a week and a half ago. Horror movies are shown in all of the theaters and people dress up as zombies, gargoyles, monsters, etc. Most of the movies were silly, but there were some premier films that were actually quite good (Eaters - Italian zombie film <3)

There was a comic con this last weekend but I wasn't able to go. I was going to meet Jayne Cobb.
