Sci-fi Con

So yesterday I really needed to go out. There was a Steampunk festival in Decatur, but I opted instead to drive a bit further and go up to a sci-fi convention in Marietta.

It was pretty small. They had two panel rooms, a movie room, an anime room, a gaming room, and the dealer's floor. I only stuck around for a few hours, but I did end up buying some stuff, including:
A book of questionable quality (I live dangerously through my books).
A children's book about a squid pirate.
A 1910 gas lamp.
A brass pocket watch.
A prop steampunk gun, made out of brass and wood.

The last three all have a common theme, all being made to look old. I figured, what the hell. :)
