Over the weekend I attended the ApolloCon Science Fiction Convention here in Houston. There were about a dozen guys in kilts at the con this year, mostly in Utilikilts, but I saw at least about three or four of us in more traditional kit over the two days. I promised I'd get photos of the guys in kilts, but I'm afriad I didn't do a very good job, so while this is a little low on kilt content, I got some fun stuff, here we go...


How about a little steampunk? This is O.M.Grey, a Texas author (and holder of a BA and MA in British Lit) who works in the paranormal romance and steampunk genres.


Here's Ms.Grey and my friends Moogie and Sandy.


Here's Linda, who missed the photo session, but I did catch our friend Scott darting by in his UK!


I ran into Faith and Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the dealers room! actually this is Ju-Ju and Lollie, some renfaire friends.


My wife had to get a picture with Buffy.


Here's a bad picture of me MC-ing my Sci-Fi club's trivia contest, I think one of my questions just gave the middle contestant mild brian damage...

There is a costume contest every year, here are some of the contestants, either on or backstage.
