Scapers Run Amok to Look at the Princess

On Friday night (8/4/00), ScaperCon attendees gathered in the hotel bar to watch part three of "Look at the Princess". Hawaiian and Mambo shirts were the uniform of the day, and many completed the look with plastic leis. Note the large projection screen where the ep was shown; it was great for the show, but scary to see the SciFi Prime Chick that size.

TickTick and hugatree, ready for the show

As the shirt proclaims, this is PyeCat.

JudyLiz and her hubby Ron kick back.

Scorpy, eat your heart out.

Shangrila was ready for the party.

DK better watch out; that's Dabee hiding behind her famous Trout.

TalynX (aka Quinn) was too sleepy to stay awake till the end.

Since Ben Browder couldn't make it, we made do with an inflatable astronaut. You can't see it from this distance, but that's a picture of John Crichton's face pasted into the helmet's faceplate.

Teena made it just in time for the second showing; PyeCat brought her up to speed.

And, yes, Teena came appropriately dressed for the occasion.


ScaperCon Officially Kicks Off

Smushybutt (Theresa) and WarriorWoman (Heather) started us off on Saturday morning -- and pretty much Rocked all weekend. It wouldn't have happened without them, folks!

Hugatree and PyeCat

Truthseeker and TickTick were happy to see one another.

Shangrila and Zakalwe take in the mayhem.

farx was one of Teena's first "signage" victims; the sign says, "Don't bother me, I'm visiting my happy place."

Despite the mad signage, Teena and farx got along well.

Aughra checks for signs on Teena and farx's backs.

The generously donated bus stop posters went over Big (literally) with the crowd, and made for a fun raffle opportunity.

Teena strikes again, tagging TickTick with an "Elves are Superior" sign.


Farscape Anonymous Meeting, Saturday morning

The swap party was a huge success -- and now ValleyOfStags will never be caught on the far side of a wormhole without clean boxers.

Apparently, even Trout come in PK colors.

Teena and hugatree admire Ticker's snurched prize at the swap party -- a Farscape photo collage, in appropriate frame.

QuietI (Joan) shares the happy news that she's expecting another baby.

The ever-popular TickTick climbed on a chair to greet her Public.

AMuse brought her whole family along.

BroMo seemed a tad overwhelmed by the reality of ScaperCon.

Saturday Mayhem

hugatree "goes Aeryn" on us, with the help of some LaserTag gear

The crowds gathered for the cast/crew webcasts (no pics of those, sorry -- the flash would have done in the projected images, anyway).


Costume Contest, Saturday afternoon

hugatree watches Ticker get into character for the costume contest

Ticker's Chiana outfit was a hit, but huga looks a bit freaked.

AMuse's kids were particularly attached to their own personal Chiana.

Woo Hoo! I want one of these DRD bike helmets!

Ticker and Truthseeker practice for the costume contest. Truthie had a hard time keeping a straight face, but the tribble...er, beard, hid most of her smile.

There were a lot of Aeryn Impersonators.

Zhaan got one Impersonator of her own, though.

John Crichton, eat your heart out!

What would happen if D'Argo and Chiana had a child who joined a British rock band? Don't ask!


The Banquet, Saturday night

TalynX, flanked by AMuse's daughters. These kids know how to party!

Elnea passed out Belgian chocolate caramels -- if they don't have these in the Uncharted Territories, I ain't goin'.

Training has already started for Farscape, The Next Generation

Moya, chocolate rice krispy treat style.

hugatree does her Jenavian impression

Hmmm...so that's what the Green Fuzzy Cuffs look like...

VioletteFrost looked particularly fetching in her golden toga.

AMuse and her crew enjoy the ambience.

Meanwhile, huga had the most magnetic personality in the room.

The ASSSS'ers (however many S's there are) wanted some pics...and PyeCat got to be the token male in the group (tough job, huh? ;-)


"a very attractive man"

It wasn't that I didn't Believe her...but when she said she made a very attractive man, I didn't realize hugatree was serious.

Ticker didn't even want to look.

PyeCat wasn't really surprised...but he was amused.

Pulling her hair back made it even more convincing.


Obzerve ze scaperz in zeir natural habitat...

Saint Huga of Haines. Share a room with this woman, and you never know what the morning will bring.

There was a story behind this one...but I can't remember it (huga? can you?).

Dang, but huga and Ticker look perky!

Thinkum and Ticker look pretty cheerful, too.


Sunday Diversions

"Kick the DRD" was a popular game for the kids.

Another popular diversion was "Monster Darts". Hit Scorpy in the eye, and win...well, nothing, but it was dang satisfying.

Farscape Trivia nears the final round.

BroMo and Truthseeker watch as Aughra tests the mettle of the Trivia contestants.

Even Truthie looked nervous by the end.

Elflore, before staging Scapespeare.

PyeCat, Teena, and Elflore sign the Thank You books for the webcasts.

She didn't hold it long enough for me to capture it on film, but hugatree really CAN put her heels behind her head.

Sunday Night Wrap-up

JudyLiz and hugatree

huga really liked the shirt she got from JudyLiz and Ron.

hugatree makes an even more convincing man, with the loan of Ron's glasses.


That's it, folks. See you at ScaperCon 2001!
