Leprecon

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

Leprecon “Like Santacon but green.” Leprecons O’Becky and O’Harris were the first to show up. I showed up at the starting point with my camera, not wearing any green nor intending to join the throng.

I stood outside Puck Fair on Lafayette Street until about 12:30 and I think a total of about a dozen Leprecons showed up. Some of them were tricky and brought their costumes in a bag.

This first time conner, came expecting a more organized affair.

I chided this leprecon on his minimal visible costume, the shamrock on his hat, but he shut me up with his hidden pot of gold.

Now that’s a leprechaun.

The lonely walk in a silly costume to the gathering place is a Con tradition.

The after party location at Rubulad was announced on the e-mail list. I suspect many leprecons only went to that, and they probably never obtained the critical mass of hundreds of costumed freaks like Santacon for their daytime carousing.

Update: GammaBlaBlog informant Payaso tells me that he saw only a few flashes of green at Rubulad.

    Definitely not leprechauns. This post gets most of its hits from poor spellers.
