Discworld Convention, Melbourne, Feb 9 - 11

I completely forgot about this until I was reminded a day or two ago. There's going to be a Discworld convention at the Carlton Crest Hotel and Convention Centre in Melbourne on Fri 9th to Sunday 11th February. That's less than two weeks away!

The convention is called Nullus Anxietas (Latin for "no worries") and you can read all about it here:

Terry Pratchett himself will be the main guest of honour.

Note that the prices are going to go up on Feb 2 so if you want to go and you want the cheaper tickets you pretty much have to paypal the money to them today or tomorrow.

I'm considering making a Luggage costume with dozens of little legs that actually move when the costume moves about. I'm currently working on a Pong costume for a video games costume party so who knows if I'll get time to make Luggage. Let's all cross out fingers ...

If you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?

Ohhhh NOOOO!!! I totally missed it! Heard about it well over a year ago and then forgot! *cries* How was it?

Magic armor had never been very popular in Ankh-Morpork ... it tended to lose its magic without warning. Many an ancient lord's last words had been, "You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh!!" - Terry Pratchett (Interesting Times)

It was AWESOME! There were hilarious moments such as the Discworld vs. Harry Potter panel where halfway through Terry wandered in, listened for a bit and then completely took over the panel as he explained what was going on. The poor people who were supposed to be running the panel just sat there quietly until the time was up.

But I didn't finish my costume in time.
