Well, I'm off to Balticon after all... And yes, ladies and gentlemen, final proof that I am a scary freak: I got my ears on!  
The advantages of marrying a make-up & prosthetics artist:)
There will be wonderfully geeky & silly pix online eventually at the Balticon site, and though I'm notoriously camera-shy, you never know...

Well I hope you have a wonderful time SilverMoonLady
As for you Ms. BB, I wouldn't start chanting and saying that I didn't know you. Instead I would start screaming for secuity  And you should come back to the States for a visit so you can enjoy the pleasures of Target

Yes, I would probably be escorted off the premises for something or another... Like asking a certain LotR star if Elves had pubic hair Bad Morakins!
And you just like to torture me with all the things I cant have!  My beloved Target....

You definitely have to come back to visit America now, so you can visit Target Greatland. Nothing like having even more Target to enjoy.

Good! glad you went and had fun. You had perfect weather to be inside all day in windowless convention halls.  (5/29 was 75 and sunny in these parts).
Care to share any high points?

Well, a very good local theater group did a batch of LOTR parody scenes that had the room in stitches, yours truly included. They framed it as: While waiting for the green light to film PJ found a drawerfull of video proposals for other 'takes' from popular writers, directors etc. One took a very well known scene of 'Clerks' and put our dear characters in there.. Just hearing 'Frodo' exclaim to 'Sam' "I'm not even supposed to be here today!!!" was pretty histerical:)
Not for the stodgy or faint of heart, but entertaining to the twisted among us.
Two Towers Extended was showing in the video room and RotK was to be shown on Sunday...
There were a few panels and seminars that addressed the impact of the movies on the audience and future readers and other such...
I missed the masquerade contest but am looking forward to the pictures, which should be online sometime this summer. (hubby and I are a little into that sort of thing... even entered one year, just as a lark)
Listened to some excellent filk...
Got a very tasty mixed drink for $2 at one of the room parties, and encountered someone with an elf-ear fetish... weird, but harmless... (and they were hobbit ears, damn it The ignorant are entertaining!)
I think I may have to attend again next year:) Then again, my hubby and I may be vending there instead:)
Oh and I acquired a few fun pins I just couldn't resist:
the required 'Pervy Hobbit Fancier' (of course)
'There is no Gap in Rohan' (yes, I spend too much time online)
And something I've been trying to get as a bumper sticker for ages: 'Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup'
And now, you know far more about how incredibly silly I truly am:)

Well it sounds like you had an awesome time SilverMoonLady. I would have dearly loved to have seen the LOTR/Clerks parody. One of my all time favorite movies. I suppose Gimli and Legolas would be played by Jay and Silent Bob if they ever did an AU crossover movie

Frighteningly accurate guess there, hon! Exceedingly weird and funny stuff.

I shall never watch either movie in the same way again. Hmmm, about time to re-watch Clerks I think.
