Voltaire

The main reason I ended up at this convention for the weekend was to help out my good friend Voltaire with his booth, and of course he was putting me up in a hotel and I'd get to be on a mini vacation. We went around mocking and scaring some people all weekend, mocking only in a good way mind you. And some people just don't get a good dark twisted sense of humor. Go figure. One night at the con, Voltaire and I were walking to this one building, this couple was trying to also find it and asked us for directions so we had them walk over with us, while in a dark alley type thing between some buildings on this college campus, no people around, all deserted seeming, Voltaire asks them "So you guys are swingers right?" His tone is totally serious and the couple thought he was serious for a few seconds and exchanged the most horrified looks with each other.

After Voltaire had played at the Cabaret Saturday night, we were walking out rushing off to thing he was supposed to host, and some girl came up to him and said with stars in her eyes "Do you have a girlfriend?" When he said he was married she looked like her whole world was shattered. Poor girl. I can't count how many times people thought I was his wife or we were together. Maybe that's why I didn't pick up any boys all weekend?

The Cyber Cafe

This sounded really cool till you actually saw it. Not that I don't give the young people who ran this room a decent score for effort, they just weren't given a budget to be able to do much with it. The room was a small level college classroom with a high ceiling, and their budget had allowed them to tape black trash bags all over the walls on the bottom 12 feet of the room, and some tubing attached to the walls, and some xmas lights. They had some tvs going with various anime and horror movies, and a bunch of chairs set up. Voltaire & band played there the Friday night of the con.
