 Posted: Apr 1, 07 Views: 1,318 Are you tired of the commercialism and been-there-done-that furry costumes of Disney World? Then it’s a pity you missed the 64th Annual World Science Fiction Convention - a real DIY parade of sub-culture with much more imaginative costumes and hardcore fandom! Whether you’re a science fiction fan yourself or more of a voyeur of the fans themselves, there is something for everyone at the annual event as the photos attest!
 The attractions of this parallel kingdom—which had suddenly appeared in the shadow of Disneyland—were decidedly DIY in comparison. Here were homemade fabric stargates and plywood lunar modules, meeting room screenings of Dr. Who and panels entitled Paranormal Romances and I Was Promised Flying Cars!
SF fandom, or just plain fandom as the community often refers to itself, has been around something like six Jovian years (around 70 Earth years). Fandom is both a subculture in its own right and a constellation in which a galaxy of mutant subcultures cluster. Fandom includes fans of fantasy, mythology, science fiction, science fantasy, hard science fiction and I imagine several categories beyond my human comprehension.
