that's got to be the youngest son convention or i believe she is she is eleven days or thirteen days old tare probably and and a little bit of an outfit there now we have another really looking individual here got and what does that mean  will where our journey we keep looking around there are numerous wear these in everyday life rather than just here i do i i go back two miles a day and i march i i commute from my home i go down to the train station and march up on capitol hill everything from thirteen days earlier in so up stairs as you can see there pulling away the tables that were once for the t earlier in this room for about an hour and forty five minutes as a tory and teen with lady adderly and then there was also a monster contest and what's going on right now well what we're doing here is we're resetting our our game that we just finished up situation critical it's basically a mad scientist lab where basically the experiment the experimenters are  up we have to keep let's go ahead and open it if they don't do that well there's about should be about twenty other people or so in here and will we let prison politics take care of the situation in that regard ok so and then added how long does the game usually last the game is set to run for two hours and on a timer basically be they have about two hours to complete the scenario either by creating super soldiers to you know break out and hit the scientists or to help the scientists and when they get out and fight british soldiers or british soldiers come in and yet technically it was a rock fall everyone dies but that was with keller's set up so take that with a grain of salt so yeah basically you can have a basically we've had some person which was were basically in the last king but i ended basically like we are going to finish this so we're just going to gas everyone in here and we're going to make a run for it and hope to gosh the british take us in his prisoners instead it's it was so there's a number of ways it could end there are a lot of different ways that this can end up i mean it's a whole spectrum of scenario finishes in that regard it's dependent on what the what the players decide to do what actions they take and whether or not they decide to cooperate to assist and of course there's a guy along the whole route to make sure people kind of fall down there is about three to four navigators who less than an hour until we have the next one that comes in and people are just going to and and this is something you do this and other events to we mean with this in the car with that we do this sort of a scenario at usually i mean i run games at other conventions but and in another room looks like they're either setting up or turn another table with this and conduct combat in the in the skies and here we have the french fleet is advancing into the channel challenge the british and the british of course are rising and the e determined fashion to turn the way and ultimately the game is to kill off the other posing country or whatever in in this case is the skirmish for her pride bragging rights and if the other fellow brought in another room i'm not sure what they're doing but these folks are getting ready to do a sound check for later for later cabaret and entertainment there's several different rooms but we're just warming up for a sound check diana vic how are you doing this year i'm doing pretty good i'm really tired and i'm losing my voice so i speak a little bit that's why this being the fourth year of the of course victorian monsters because some people always really get into the theme and this year it's been great we had a monster competition and we had some just amazing monsters that are to you and of course i'm doing the bride of frankenstein so it's kind of a fun silly costume i'm still working on figuring out how to make my my gear stay where they're supposed to a work in progress they always are and we spent quite a bit of time on switching oh yeah i mean i we're working on next years before this one even happens all the time so and of course we already know what the is you're right right it's around the world we want to focus on a steampunk that doesn't necessarily happen in london could happen anywhere in the world and exploring those places so you know the wonderful british explorer outfits  conventions anywhere so we thought we should have a steampunk convention and it's turned out to be a very popular idea there are now steampunk conventions all over the world but i'm proud to say ours is those second oldest in the world second la and second longest running there were a couple before this one that have managed to sort of know this is also growing because you you're actually contracted to be here for another couple years right we have a contract for next year at this point and currently we're looking at the same weekend which were we're going to discuss whether or not that would actually be a viable idea because next year's theme isn't hollow week so i don't know that as many people will come to celebrate hollowing with us as they did this year but yes we plan on continuing for a while  how many people have been showing up to this point or do you know i don't know the shoes count i know last year was about twenty two hundred i think and the registration for this year was ahead of last year suspect we got more people i'm hoping more like you know maybe twenty five hundred to three thousand women and how many location here i don't know the answer that question at this time i'm hoping we don't have to find out anytime real soon it's a very big convention center and it's the second best in the city so you know we should have some room to grow  smaller portions and make you know different rooms out of them so it's kind of modular we have three fairly big ball rooms and a couple of smaller rooms that we play with and move things around in a lot of  being all around the world and do you know what kind of costume you'll have for that one i already own about eight piss helmets and some lovely khaki uniform sort of outfits but i'm sure also come up with some other ideas i want to work on my steampunk a shot that i wore last year because it's a work in progress all my costumes are always a little bit not quite diamond oh i do a little bit more when i have some time not until january maybe even february micro gets a little bit of a break we will let them take some time off but for the most part the rest of us keep working first we have a day job to do i do a little i an illustrator but i don't do as much my husband has a real day job my job is pretty much the same time and my own art and my own blog and my website diana dot com is a good place to with the same
