Gaslight Gathering 8

22 04, 18

So Gaslight Gathering wasn’t as busy for us this year as it was last year, which is probably a good thing because we kinda overcommitted last year. Still, we were busy. We had our own booth for the first time. Kudos to Colleen Rodriguez for an excellent job of running the vendor room; it went very smoothly.

Commerce!

Drake reprised his cane defense class with his characteristic aplomb. No, of course it wasn’t a warm up for his upcoming national-level fencing competition. Thanks to Debra Brunner for snapping pics while Sparky engaged in the aforementioned commerce.

Defense!

And speaking of our friendly repeat shenanigator, Debra and Becky Albrecht lent a hand (literally) for Drake & McTrowell’s Theatre of the Historically Improbable™.

Sock Puppets!

Brace yourselves for a lot of pictures because the Starburner Galactic Courier Service returned to Gaslight Gathering in a big way with the Zeppelin Crash Site Investigation installation and the induction of worthy new agents!

ZCSI!

Nope, there’s no such thing as a Drake & McTrowell bloop about a convention without costumes. And, yes, that’s Sparky in her new Dia de los Muertos Victorian swimsuit, a brainstorm by Wyng’d Lyon. Okay, the last one is more an invention than a costume, but its human controller was in a mad scientist costume, naturally.

Costumes!

Stephen Marchesi offered a display of his pencil drawings. If you look closely in the lower left corner of the picture, you can see the original of the official Gaslight Gathering 8 art.
