The Con: Orycon 25
The Place: Lloyds Center Doubletree Inn
The Dates: 8- 10 Nov 2013
Orycon is a Science Faction Convention in Portland Oregon. Both my big and Kiju Hello Kitty plushes were my companions.
Friday –Saturday: In order to save some cash I decided to cut out Friday Night, I headed down just to pick up a pass for Saturday. After my traditional pre-con breakfast at Hometown Buffet, I headed down to the convention space. I checked out the dealers den before heading out to the David D Levine and Nancy Kress readings. I got another picture of my favorite authors, Nancy Kress holding m y Hello Kitty Plush. I missed everybody draws event because I had the wrong time. The rest of the afternoon I went to readings, watched The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension and Gary Andersons UFO in the video room. I went to the 300 Years from now panel; lucky I only had to stay for a half hour before going to the William Nolan reading I went out to dinner then Space Nazi Must Die presentation, the panel had a two hour block but it was over in 15 minutes. I went the rest of the evening at the AMV viewing and getting goodies at the room parties before calling it a day.
