“I’ve done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekyest of all of was my first effort to build props and cosplay when I was 12.”

~Wil Wheaton

(As a Steampunk event which permits polygenre fandom costumes and cosplay, we’ve had the good fortune to see some fairly spectacular clothing, kit, and gear. Traditionally, this has been more of a parade than a contest, and we do encourage everyone to stop by.)

The following description, therefore, is not our fault.)

“Right! Right! If I can make croquet sound exciting, and I can, I’m sure I can enliven this ‘cosplay’ contest. I don’t know what a ‘cosplay’ is, but I am going to assume it’s something very, very sharp and poisonous, Now, two or more persons enter, none of them leave, and we all applaud. Is that about right? Jolly good.”
