Norwescon Art Show: And the Winners Are!

Norwescon’s Art Show was a hotbed of activity with a small bidding war happening right before close. The sold stamps almost dried out.

But, after much hair pulling, wrestling in the aisles and clipboard swings the honorees are:

Guest of Honor Award: Julie Baroh, for Peri
Best in Show: Kyle Abermethy, for 1 Timothy 2:8-15
First Place: Julie Baroh, for Peri
Second Place: Michael Duquette, for Time Skipper

We are pleased to announce that Norwescon’s scholarship goes to the Northwest College of Art and Design student, Leanne Dunn for Vulture Girl. A big thanks to our judges Don Lackey, Caroline Westra, and Mac Oros for their hard work and interesting wrestling moves.

OVERHEARD:

“I’m giving you to my stepmom because she knows more about me than I do.”

He: “You were practicing drunkenness and debauchery with Lebanese—”
She: “Not Lebanese—lesbians!”

“I can wear my breasts, so I can have boobs!”

From one person to another: “I forgot what it was for—” “There’s that lubricant at work again!”
