I liked her eye makeup overcoat and have picked up a sewing
pattern for something similar to use in the future. Actually, I think she must have used the same pattern, the more I look at it!
The originality of her outfit was sublime. I thought the dirty face was a nice touch.
I really wanted a pic with his wings open but he said no because they were such a pain in the ass to close again. They looked heavy too!
I had no idea who she was supposed to be.
Apparently a steampunk WoW (World of Warcraft) character?
This guy's staff lit up, and the ball on top was one of those crazy electricity balls that shoot an electrified stream of light to wherever you touch it on the glass.
These ladies were SELLING these dragons!
Handmade...I believe they said Dark Silouette on Facebook (haven't searched them out yet, but rest assured I will). They said silouette was spelled without an H and they take custom orders. I do believe I will be hitting them up in the future to have them make my very own fire-lizard of Anne McCaffery Pern fame! The dragons were completely moveable from head to tail.
Very elegant steampunk Tony Stark!
His lights were incredibly bright and he could have them on two settings, blindingly brilliant or just slightly less than blindingly brilliant.
This airship captain has seen some combat action, it would appear.
Found this aviator on a trip to the car to reload our booze. He was having some girl drama unfortunately but allowed me to snap a pic with my roomie.
This guy had by far the best steampunk accessories I saw all weekend. When I showed my mom this pic, all she could say was, "He's wearing a Coach purse! That's a Coach purse on his hip!" Mom may not know what is steampunk is, but she can spot a purse a mile away!
Almost everywhere you looked people were dressed up. Not as much steampunk as I would have thought from this year's theme, but then again it's fun to do your own thing. Geeks are nothing if not fierce individualists!
Next post, my cosplay is finally revealed, along with more cosplay pics from Convergence. Remember, if you're ever in Minnesota around the 4th of July, be sure to stop by the Con for a good time!

I can't decide which one I like the best. They all look fantastic.
I really enjoyed looking at those. I hope you will let me use them for a post. I also appreciated the bit of commentary that accompanies each picture. Right there is your blogging 'bread and butter'. You do that very well.
TS--They sure put my poor steampunk attempts to shame! Sorry I haven't been commenting much at your site...my workplace internet doesn't allow me to comment on some blogs for some weird reason.
Kal--of course you can use any pics you want! I'm sure all the subjects would be proud to be featured on the Cave of Cool.
That dude is having girl-drama because he stole her handbag! No boys should carry Coach! hehehe
