Wang Chung is confirmed for Friday night.  As always, I can probably get you in free.  If I've met you at Zapcon you can crash at my house 4 miles away.

Last year they had a dude doing EDM remixes of NES music and someone in S&M gear doing robot covers of Sisters of Mercy songs.  Good stuff.

My recap from last year can be found here.

I keep telling myself, "I won't spend 3 days at the expo" and I keep doing it.

Here's a DeLorean and C-3PO

Barrels of Fun pinball factory tour.  Looked exactly how I expected a pinball factory to look.

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, I wish there was something like that to squander 3 days of my life I'll never get back on to begin with.
Time blurs into one long smear here as it is anyway so what's 3 months even?!

And I'm envious of the guy with the Powerslave tour tee.
