Anyway, I wore jeans or cargo pants and t-shirts at the convention. For the parties I might throw on a button down as an overshirt. Oh, and I was in my Asha’man coat a couple of times, but I wear that around anyway.

For me, the convention is mostly about the panels. I love it. It’s like attending an intensive SF training course at an elite SF university. My panel reports are all going up on <a href="http://skwidly.livejournal.com/"my LJ, for the curious. The parties have their moments, but, well…I’m used to something a bit livelier. Usually with music, and dancing, and possibly fire-spinning.

K2: I was wearing linen two of the three days, but it was still hot.

HitTheTargets: I assume you caught the note of self-mockery in that section, though any connotation with “chinos” was unintentional — that’s just what I hear them called. (Perhaps a Canadianism?)

Jay: Maybe next year you can have an exhibit next to David Hartwell’s ties…

If you have ever thought “The one thing that would improve Montreal is more people in Starfleet uniforms”

I think this pretty much perpetually.

Also, I have decided that when I rule the world, unless you have less than 5% body fat, it will be illegal for any male to tuck his shirt into his shorts, because it makes you look a) fatter and b) like a tool. No fines or anything, but violators will be subject to immediate untucking and a penalty wedgie for repeat offenses.

Anyone wearing socks with sandals will have the offending limbs amputated; anyone wearing dark socks with shorts will be summarily executed for crimes against fashion.

Yes, there were pictures, which you can find by doing the obvious web searches.

I was bummed to have to miss it, and won’t be able to make it to Australia either. But Worldcon is generally great fun and I can’t wait for Reno in 2011.
