And on this day I saw many panels, and yet felt I got good play out of my Medusa costume. Which really is a simple idea. Take my quite long hair, braid it with green (and other colors) of pipe cleaners, add some premaid snake clips and wear whatever comfortable clothes I want because the hair does the work. This year I wore a benchling t-shirt because it amused me to tell folks I'm a modern bio-engineered Medusa.

Went to lots of panels. In part because I walked too much on cement the previous day and my body let me know that. In part because panels.

Went to Ballroom 20 for Resident Alien, which was sweet with the cast emotionally wrapping up. They got the news the day before on their cancellation, but had actually known it was unlikely they'd renew the year previous. I haven't watched all of the show. It's more of an on and off thing, as the main character (Alan Tudyk's character can be a bit more quirkly than I like). But it's nice background while I'm reformatting twenty documents fair. Anyway, it was good to hear everything they'd been doing was to wrap up storylines.

I stayed on, while moving forward, for the tv guide favorites, which also included Alan Tydyk. It was a little wierd to have NCIS: Michael Weatherly (and his onscreen partner) there. Not because NCIS doesn't belong at a pop culture thing, but because I don't watch NCIS, I mostly think of Weatherly in the context of his somewhat ick relationship with Jessica Alba when they were both on Dark Angel. Anyway, a fun panel in general and I was happy to to see trans actress (she played Dreamer on Supergirl) Nicole Maines, and hear what she'd been up to. 

Then wandered the floor a bit (getting compliments on my Medusa hair) and up to a great panel about joy and resistance by a diverse panel of BIPOC and LGTQ+ authors. Talking about their books, being creative in the dark timeline, etc.

Then down to join up with K, P, and Cy in Hall H. Caught a Stephen King based project, the Longest Walk, which looks good and nothing I should watch for sheer human misery. Then onto Predator Badlands. Looks interesting with Predators as the main characters and an android for company. 

The main event was Tron where I was glad I was wearing a mask because not only are there a lot of people in the room, but they pumped the room with smoke. For admitedly an amazing light show preso for Tron. It looks like they understood the assignment with some gorgeous scenes that capture the mood of the series, but we'll see when the movie comes out.
