ConTemporal 2014 is underway, and there’s even more mood-setting decorations throughout the hotel, music playing, costumes everywhere. Here’s a few photos, including of the massively expanded high tea room:
It wouldn’t be a NC sf convention without Allen Wold, here looking quite dapper. Be warned: he’s carrying a badge.
I admit it. I jumped just a little bit when this little trike’s animatronic motors kicked into life.
Luckily for all concerned, this guy doesn’t move.
Checking badges has rarely been so well-costumed.

Behind the scenes, Markell in the control room, er, the place where they attempt to manage the chaos.
Care to have your fortune read? 2 bits. Anyone have a bit?
The high tea room is much expanded from last year and looking fantastic.

And big thanks to the ConTemporal crew for providing a page to recognize the Manly Wade Wellman Award nominees.
All in all, it looks to be another fantastic weekend adrift in time. The story continues…
