Slog - Comments on Norwescon Report Two http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/norwescon_report_two The thing about Norwescon is that it's crazy about dragons. There are dragon mascots and dragon henna tattoo booths and people with dragons on their clothing and dragons on my press pass. An artist here at the convention is "known for his drawings of dragons." There's a large metallic dragon in the front lobby, and other dragons spread throughout the hotel. I don't know exactly why this is, except for the fact that dragons are awesome. So it turns out that filk does not, in fact, stand for Fiction I'd Like To Keep.

Wearing the vampire cape is optional.

Hardly anyone actually "plays" Second Life. If you looked at all MMORPGs, it would rank something like dead last. Many thousands of times more people play Lord of the Rings Online, for example ...

Personally, I would stay away from Second Lifers and Filkers. Disgusting people, nasty habits, and they rarely tip well.

Why is it that sci-fi/fantasy fans are insufferably pretentious know-it-alls?

Wait I just described most slog commenters. Never mind.

But please keep these reports coming!
