Hey, you’re still reading! Great! I’m flattered.Well, if you didn’t hear, the Piñata Riders made their presence inarguably known as the returning champions of low-buck costuming last October in Lansing, with a quartet of Martian invaders a la MARS ATTACKS, which we paraded around at blaster-point to the relief of all those fans we spared. Joe managed to get the leader, and after a victory march, the aliens were shipped off to do our dishes at home until the next taxi comes in bound for Mars. Sorry, NASA, they have a bit of a confidence problem with the national brands, at this point.If this got printed decently, you’ll be able to see a photo of these little demons on the worktable, and also in action at the Con. If not, well, you can either go on faith or visit the website.
At Conclave I managed to find a home for around fifty copies of the Clave edition of the Rag, which featured adhesives tips and a few other nicknacks, and I also did not have to try too hard to get Rich Tucholka to adopt one of the Martians. I’m sure he’s well fed and watered.
