Starting with the photos

[solarbird]

Here, have a boatload of pictures from Norwescon. Yay!

I apologise for the grain; lighting inside the hotel isn't so great, and I was pushing the little Canon A80 I got to use well past its limits. But I think they're reasonably viewable. My favourite three above the fold, the rest I liked below. (Ones I didn't like, I didn't bother including. ^_^ )

Awesome! I've seen photos of the manticore before. Very well done fursuit. The Leiamania makes me giggle. I'll have to show to Paul.

They were going around the hotel just doing various things. They got a round of applause in the Dealer's Room, and I heard secondhand that they walked around an awfully good Vader and Stormtroopers, and Vader popped out with, "That... is more disturbing than anything in the Force."

In Leiamania! (2), you can see that one of them (on the left) is wearing actual bagels. I flip back and forth about which of those shots I like better. ^_^

Hahah awesome. I guess actual cinnamon buns would be a bit sticky and liable to fall apart...

[solarbird]

One presumes the bagels were cinnamon. ^_^

FWIW, the manticore is aeto.

... and yes, the manticore costume is outright sexy.

Everywhere they went, they got adored.

This was a really, really great Norwescon.

He's posted more pictures of it here:

It really is just that good.

I have a little video but they didn't catch on to the fact i was doing video so I only have about a second of yipyipyiping, which is too bad.

[alittlesoldier.livejournal.com]

What awesome stuff. Methinks I'll have to check out this thing one of these years! :3

[flashfire.livejournal.com]

LOL. Funny stuff, but the last picture wins all.

[annathepiper]

If you ever do get a chance to come to Norwescon, do ping solarbird and me, we'd love to meet up with you. :)

[annathepiper]

mmm, alexander james :)

Indeed, and he sounds mmm-worthy, too!

[backrubbear.livejournal.com]

Great pictures. It looks like a lot of people had a lot of fun.

I think Alexander James is confusing me. Will poke that thread on Dara's journal.

[aeto.livejournal.com]

Yeah... His stuff kind of stands in a class of it's own, doesn't it? :>
