Duckon Day 2

Several interesting panels - the one on plagues quite fascinating.
Two great filk concerts by [info]filkertom and [info]seanan_mcguire 
A prime rib dinner and then Trivia for Chocolate.
On the way to car to head home a few minutes of the Tesla Coils and we were well and truly "conned"
Wrap up today a few panels, maybe a filk concert and closing ceremonies where we get to hear the best songs made from some really words from opening ceremonies.

I love scifi cons.

Duckon - Day One

Opening ceremonies were great - especially the talking skull Bob form the Dresden books - Jim Butcher is the Author GOH.

The improv "Who's Line Is It" - was a hoot. Tom Smith, Seanen McGuire, Gretchen Roper, a guy I don;t know and a friend of Seanen from the audience who was hilarious, made for a fun time.

The highlight was the singing Tesla Coils. If you have never seen these and get a chance DO NOT PASS IT UP! They actually make these two 7 foot tall coils make music and it is impressive. Even cooler is what they do to a CD (the current destroy the substrate so they are clear afterward)

We then went to a presentation that showed the results of what goes wrong when handling huge magnet from MRI machines and particles accelerators among others.

Fun stuff and now to breakfast and day 2!
