Waitaminute, people are giving you crap about how dressed at Readercon?
Only one guy, that I'm aware of.
I know that "costumes" are frowned upon at Readercon, but imaginative regalia should not be!
I will note, I was not wearing costumes. The individual who seemed so annoyed assumed I was wearing a costume, but those are just clothes to me. Formal clothes, admittedly. I'm just not comfortable doing early 21st-century casual in public. And the masks served a very practical purpose that I needed them to serve, while simultaneously giving people something nice to look at in a sea of khaki shorts and T-shirts.
