  1. PopCon Indy 2026 Photos, Part 1 of 2: Tiny Cosplay Gallery!

    This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the latest edition of PopCon Indy, an entertainment convention locally owned and run here in our own hometown of Indianapolis. Their inaugural 2014 shindig (under the original moniker "Indy PopCon") was a massive undertaking and a phenomenal experience, where we met actors from some of our favorite works and were pretty impressed at a first-time comic-con being so well-run. And we do love the convenience of events practically in our backyard so we can save on hotel costs and park for free at my workplace if the weather's nice. We also attended the next two years' shows, but began feeling out-of-place as the guest lists began targeting much younger geek demographics -- fewer actors under 50, far more anime voice actors, YouTubers, and other influencers and fields outside our Gen-X spheres. We can't blame them for giving the people what they want, especially after 2015's special guest Markiplier brought in, by my conservative estimate, 630 million fans dying to meet him and willing to wait the rest of their lives in line if necessary. Some of them may still be there to this day, perhaps a bit miffed that he took such a long break to go film Iron Lung for a while before he resumed signing. His lines were quite the rodeo to witness from the outside, but it wasn't our rodeo. IPC 2016 held a few highlights for us, such as the only YouTuber I've ever wanted to meet, one of the most awkward comics panels I've ever asked a question in, and the height of Deadpool variant cosplay mania. But we bowed out for a while after that. It's not them, it's us. (Well, mostly us. It also didn't help that sometimes their biggest guests were actors we'd already met at other cons.) But hey! Ten years later, here we are again! We only attended Saturday, but we accomplished our modest goals, such as "have a blast". […]

    But you'd have to share the credit (and the outfit) with a partner.

    To keep all the attention (and probably the cover of Locus) for yourself, maybe adapt something similar from my favorite recent artwork, a 1957 painting by the great Catalan surrealist Remedios Varo that's now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Notice the tiny unicycle: quite handy (well, footy) for those fatiguingly interminable Worldcon hallways.

  17. Wife working on costumes (bodices) for Portland Ballet here in Maine. This is a crazy rabbit hole, folks, beware. We now own specialized steamers and magical sewing machines and packages of random fabrics and interfacing and etc. show up daily. #sewing #costumes #ballet

  18. I *loved* the theme #music, the #costumes, the #locations. 🤩 And I’m glad to say after rewatching: I still do.

    It wasn’t until recently I learned additional seasons were made years after series 1-6 — starring the inimitable David Suchet, ofc.

    The #tech advancements in titling, #CGI, and the use of #widescreen ratio def enhance the storytelling. And the move from Christie’s short stories to her novels abt the character aided the transition from single-episode arcs to longer-form #tv movies.

  20. C2E2 2026 Photos, Part 1 of 2: Cosplay!

    It's that time again! This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the latest edition of the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Exposition (“C2E2″), a three-day extravaganza of comic books, actors, creators, toys, props, publishers, freebies, plush dolls, variant covers, anime we don’t recognize, and walking and walking and walking and walking. We missed the inaugural 2010 gala and presciently skipped the February 2020 pre-shutdown soiree, but more often than not, whenever they send out the call to convene, we’re happy to answer. While we recuperate and wait for our feet to forgive us for their punishment, please enjoy this collection of cosplayers who brightened our day around the show floor. The jazz-hands photo ops and other details will be shared in the other chapter because everyone loves costumes. We regret we can only represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the total cosplay wonderment that was on display this weekend. We’re clearly not professional photographers, journalists, costume designers, or Oscars red carpet commentators. We’re just an aging geek couple doing what we can for happy sharing fun. Enjoy! Please feel free to identify any characters we failed at recognizing! […]
