We have some special presentations for everyone’s favourite wookie. I will post pics after said event.
Jonathan Coulton
I really can't get enough of Jonathan Coulton. He writes beautiful geek folk rock songs about zombies, Ikea, and those sad fools who write code all day (ahem cough).
I currently am Demanding that he come to Calgary, via the far-less-self-important-sounding site eventful.com
Captain Proton
The monochromatic space hero from Star Trek: Voyager has captivated my interest enough to attempt to create a replica costume to wear as a hall costume at the various Science Fiction and Fantasy conventions I'm planning on attending over the next few months.
The costume is simple enough so I wanted to get as many details as I could right. During my research discovered Commando Cody, one of the sources for inspiration for Captain Proton. The jacket, control box, belt and jet pack worn by Tom Paris/Robert Duncan McNeill as Proton are replica Commando Cody props made by a fan and prop builder for Star Trek. I contacted him and he furnished me with his graphics that he used to make his replica. I am very grateful for all his help. Pictures of my finished costume will follow.
