This weekend just passed, Lyssa, Laurelinde, and I journeyed northward to the state of New Jersey to join friends and colleagues at Saloncon, a one day convention (sort of) that celebrates the finer things in life, such as dressing well for the sake of dressing well, refinement, politeness, and a chance to show off all the nifty things that we've been building in our basements all year. I say that the convention is 'sort of' one day because the festivities actually began on Friday night with the steampunk meet and greet at the hotel's sports bar and ended on Sunday …
Lyssa and I are still spinning the masquerade ball at Saloncon 2007, and we've got a lot of work ahead of us to come up with a setlist that gets people dancing and keeps them dancing. We have an excellent reason not to suck.
Saloncon 2007 has been announced! It wil be held at the Holiday Inn in Somerset, New Jersey on 22 and 23 September 2007. Ticket prices will be $30us at the door and $20us in advance. Technically, there won't be a con on Friday but the more presale tickets they get, the better the chance that they'll be able to afford one.
