My friend, Katherine, with Ernie Hudson on her lap!
This year for Cyphan I worked as miscellaneous security and crew member to help set up for events and check badges. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of new people.
Cyphan invited Ernie Hudson, one of the Ghostbusters, as the celebrity guest. As a result, the entire convention had a Ghostbusters theme to it. About 50 cosplayers showed up in Ghostbusters uniforms, the Ecto 1 car was brought in, and the imperial ball included Ghostbuster themed games and prizes. It really was a blast, and Ernie Hudson was a very good speaker. He seemed to genuinely enjoy being there and he was a very good speaker and had a lot of good things to say during his Q and A panel. I got to shake his hand!
During my time there I also talked with several artists and writers about their work and got some tipes for myself from them. I even found a lead as far as a publishing company that might be interested in my style of writing! I also was encouraged to make some art and craft peices and start an etsy store, something I've been mulling in my head for a while and now that I have a bit more encouragement, might try out in the near future.
On Friday night, I got to watch Red Hot Annie's burlesque troop Vaudzilla perform for Cyphan. They were amazing as always. However, right in the middle of one of the main acts, right before the big reveal of twirling pasties, the lights went out. We blew a fuse! The hotel was embarrassed and gave out free drink tickets to the audience members. I am friends with a few of the performers so afterwards we chatted a bit and everyone at the party sang karaoke. Saturday night was the imperial ball and we spent half the night dancing away and celebrating my friend Jess's birthday.
During the course of the weekend I cosplayed Caprica Six from BSG, Inara from Firefly, and Astrid from Doctor Who. I didn't have any Ghostbuster themed costumes but perhaps another time...
