Wildly West Costuming


Bethany debuted her new “cigarette girl” costume and lent a hand with vending. She did a booming (ar ar ar) business peddling our prop dynamite.

Bethany’s also launching her prop building business. She made this “criminally good” cake with both kinds of files in it for
L.O.S.E.R.

Cake with File…Two Ways


We know what you’re wondering. Weren’t you guys there “working?” You know, doing panels and vending (with
David Lee Summers). Oh yeah, that. Of course there was Drake & McTrowell’s Hot Potato School of Writing™. We were aided and abetted by Diesel Jester and Bob Vardeman. We played the Dr. Seuss / Shakespeare plot point which resulted in epic hilarity.

But maybe not as scary as one of the product demos we saw.

Whips

Whips!

But hands down the scariest thing we saw was this tea duel with a simultaneous splash and splodge.
