We are two-thirds of the way through Silicon 2007 and this is the first opportunity I have had to post. It's been that crazy of a week (and most of it without Internet access).

Silicon has a plethora of guests, predominantly from the direct to video horror film industry. This also includes the Independent and Fan Film Festival which is predominantly horror film oriented, no surprise as this year's theme is horror films.

Special Effect Make-up artists held several demonstrations yesterday using various latex based appliancs. I only caught one of these, but I did see the Italian Zombie running around at one point.

There were quite a few entries in the Masquarade, with our favorite being the Masked Mustang, which is a furry horse super hero. There was also a very cool powered Dalek in the Masquarade. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

The party scene, which was good on Friday night, went into high gear on Saturday with the Klingons, not unexpectedly, having the livliest party, serving up Phaser Shots and Disruptor Blasts. The BSG group had a fun party as did the SF/SF Internet Fanzine, which was celebrating their 50th issue.

Good parties, and good times. Lots to see and do, and not enough time to take it all in.

Silicon has been well attended, no idea what the turnout is, somewhere around 800, maybe a bit more.

It has also been good to catch up with a lot of friends we haven't seen since last year.

One more day to go, then homeward bound for me.
