Convention Stuff and geeky events

[luckykaa]

Have conventions to go to...  Pondering costumes.  Advice solicited.

Also interested in geeky stand-up.  Anyone want to come?

Satellite 3.

The theme is Mars.  The obvious Martians themed costumes are Marty the Martian, Martian Manhunter, generic green man, and Mars attacks, all of which are a little too much effort.  I don't really have time or patience to create a costume. 

Eastercon.

Don't think there is a theme here. 

Brighton appears to be having a Science festival. 

Anyone fancy coming to see the Spoken Nerd thing with me?

Or one of the science of magic things where Trez seems to be performing.

What about Ray Bradbury's Martians or the Rover?

Life On Mars?
War of the Worlds/Space 1889 Steampunk?
John Carter, Warlord of Mars?
God of War?
Mars Bar (it is Glasgow ;-))?

Serious risk of being deep fried if I do that though!

Space 1889 seems a promising idea.

Cool.

See you there.

Incidentally, my ticket says it's at 8:00, the website I linked to says 9:00 and you say 8:30. Any idea what time it actually is?
