Cliff Stoll talking to Thotcon attendees.
It was heartwarming to see how full of energy Cliff Stoll is, and how much energy he was willing to gave back to the #Thotcon community. His keynote was so fun, playful. He is an amazing story teller and speaker and genuinely personable and good human. It’s inspiring to see his passion!
#thotcon was a lot of fun. It was great seeing friends and learning cool stuff. Now I'm going to relax and hangout in downtown Chicago for a bit.
Fully stickered water bottle, Bloody Mary (with gin, natch), and coffee. Bonus @shecky in the background
Fueling up for #thotcon day two. If you need hot sauce, I gotchu.
Thank you to everyone stopping by our table @ #THOTCON 🏴☠️

A selfie wearing my Jumperless shirt and my blue and green octopus hat with me holding my beard to the side
Wearing my Jumperless shirt from my friend @architeuthisflux.bsky.social and showing off the V5 Jumperless at #Thotcon -- say hi and ask me all about it!
As always my amazing hat from my friend @outregeneration.bsky.social - order something and support an artist!
Who will I see at #thotcon?
(And will the hashtag perplex the Bluesky crowd like it always did on Twitter?)
I’m staying at Longman & Eagle while in town for #THOTCon and it’s pretty much the Prancing Pony.
I am expecting to get entangled in a quest before the weekend is out.
So cool.

Last #THOTCon I got to hang out with Information Society at Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Maybe this year I'll hang out with the surviving cast of RHPS at an InSoc show? I really don't know what else could top last year.
