Yeah. 'Twas truly unfortunate and sucky that your recent misfortunes meant you weren't able to have a good time at Swancon. I wasn't really there, due to flying out that weekend, but I did manage to catchupchat with a few friends, and attend the Masquerade.
My costume this year was Agatha Clay from Girl Genius, a comic by Phil and Kaja Foglio. The character can be seen here, the one with the glasses.
I had a cartoony-steampunk raygun, with a screw-in cartridge vial full of lightstick fluid. Unfortunately I didn't realise that the fluid is actually quite oily, so I was leaking little glowing droplets all through the hotel....:P The glow faded after about 36 hours, though, and the actual stuff was clear and didn't stain. Which was good. Just itched and stung something fierce on skin.
We should catch up sometime, over appropriate warm beverages. My email is in my userinfo, if you ever want to chat.:)
