Armageddon Melbourne

For me, the most enjoyable part of any convention is watching the costuming. And not just the costuming but the clothing: what people wear (or don't wear), the styles and colours chosen.

The guests this year are Michael Shanks, Ben Browder, Torri Higginson, Lexa Doig, Claudia Christian...and a bunch of other people. Including about 3 Dr. Who guests.

As a result, there's a lot of generic stargate folk wandering about, a lot of Gate-related t-shirts, heaps of trenchcoats and ties, and I just saw a gas-masked couple walk by. (DW: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, I imagine.)

And then there's the usual conclave of catgirls, superheroes, anime characters, t-shirt wearing geeks, and goths.

...an EMT has just walked past with a stretcher and gear. That's worrying. It's all fun and games until...um...the EMTs are called in. I hope it's nothing serious!

Although perhaps not as much as the guy who walked by in flowing white and gold a little while ago.

I haven't seen the female stormie this year, though...
