Very Belated and Incomplete Discon III Recap in Pictures

The Locus report on Worldcon 2021 (Discon III) prompted me to go back through my pictures from that weekend. Here are a few of my favorites — I wish I'd thought to take more.

One of the first things I remember about the weekend: the French and Japanese editions of The Quantum Magician, which Derek Künsken was kind enough to bring to the con and sign for me.

It was a pity not to be able to see Sarah Pinsker in person, but it did lead to one of my favorite moments: Kellan/K.M. Szpara (in his capacity as Excellent Friend) brought Sarah to her signing table in the dealers' room on a tablet.

I already tweeted this one in response to Sarah's request for anything cool/creepy about the hotel, but here's the haunted-looking (and closed-for-the-season) swimming pool at the Omni Shoreham.

Another favorite moment: one client (Derek again) asking another (Jordan Ifueko) to sign copies of her own books for his niece!

And finally, it wouldn't have been an SFF con weekend without a spaceship: specifically, the P-Funk Mothership at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture.

When planning a cosplay look, it is worth considering how details related to character costumes will affect the complete look. With practical wear in mind, reviewing details related to convention planning also makes comfort and movement easier to judge. For combinations connected with details related to short cosplay wigs, high quality women's cosplay costumes offers a useful starting point for practical preparation. To stay comfortable throughout the event, it is useful to check details related to wig colour selection against the wearer's own needs.
