[Open!] Lock-con, the Locke City Science Fiction Convention
Who: NERRRRRDS. But basically everyone who would want to go to a science fiction convention. Also, Maya Aaronson, famous science fiction author.
What: LockCon, Locke City's science fiction convention! The name is a pun. Isn't it great???
Where: The Locke City Westin Hotel.
When: Semi-backdated; LockCon takes place July 12 - July 14 this year.
This is OPEN TO EVERYONE and intended as a fun casual way for people to get CR. Feel free to backtag and backdate stuff, even if your character hasn't formally introduced themselves to the network yet (as long as they've been accepted to the game is probably fine)
The Locke City Science Fiction Convention, affectionately called Lock-con (it's a pun!)
Lock-con was founded in 1990 as a sort of response to the dumb actions of a much older locak science fiction con, Keyvention. Keyvention had been founded as a strictly sci-fi con in 1953, but by 1985 had gotten really insular and exclusionary; for example, Star Trek, Anime, and comic books were banned from discussion at Keyvention because “we only talk about REAL science fiction here.” Eventually, they got so huffy at all these new fake fans trying to ruin their precious literature that they left the city. Keyvention still happens in the suburbs of Locke City, but very few people go.
Lock-con, meanwhile, was founded in 1990 by people disgruntled with Keyvention's draconian policies. Their philosophy? If it's sci fi or fantasy, or remotely related to sci-fi or fantasy, it's in. They cover the gamut from SF&F literature (which, admittedly, is still the main attraction) to Japanese media to Western comics to video games. Lock-con is small for a con (about 5,000 people) but pretty lively and considered one of the best local cons on the East Coast.
This is intended as a casual way to get CR with everybody. Feel free to backtag into the abyss.

Isaac squints through the crowd toward where he thought he spotted a recognizable face.
It is! C'mon Miria!"
"Eh- what?"
Miria felt herself being pulled by her excited husband toward their new network buddy.
"Hi Becky! How are you doing?"
Isaac gives her a big goofy grin, decked out in Greek armor. Next to him, a confused Miria, dressed in what appears to be a Fifth Inspector Spacetime outfit. Both seem to be very rambunctious, excited by all the convention items for sale.

"That's right! Miria Dian, at your service!"
"I didn't know we'd see you here! What brings you to Locke Con?"
no subject
As for the question, she shrugs. "Never had the chance to go to one before. I wanted to take it in."
no subject
"And the art they have usually sells well at our store! We come every year. For business!"
He hopes he made it completely clear that was the only reason for coming. Just business.
In homemade costumes.
no subject
"Nice work on those, by the way."
no subject
"Oh, thank you! I spent the last month or so on them. Isaac's Rory costume was easy, but the Inspector's outfit was pretty difficult to work out."
The outfit is pretty garish, but it seems to be an accurate version of the Fifth Inspector's outfit.
"And what are you dressed as?"
no subject
That and she had enough stuff at home to make a plausible cosplay. (It certainly doesn't hurt that her Tesla's a feasible prop for something like this.)
no subject
"It's certainly very unique! Did you make that gun prop yourself?"
