Science Fiction and Fantasy

Science Fiction

I am a huge science fiction fan. For me, the essence of science fiction is captured by the short story. I am a member of the Columbia Univerity Science Fiction Society.

Conventions

I have been going to science fiction conventions since 1983. I primarily attend conventions on the east coast, in particular Lunacon and Shore Leave.

Costuming

I enjoy costuming, but need to work on more costumes. I haven't made any new ones in a few years. When I get a chance I will put up a picture of myself in the "V" uniform I made. This costume won best recreation at the 1995 Lunacon Masquerade. For lot of good info on costuming check out The Costume Page

Chainmail

I recently learned how to make chainmail. It fun and the basic process is fairly mindless, perfect to do while watching television. If you want to learn how to make chainmail check out The Apprentice Armorer's Illustrated Handbook.
