Went into Freo for dinner and had my favourite - Oyako-don from Taka's Kitchen in the Old Shanghai Foodhall. Absolutely perfect as always and only $7.70 (despite what it says in the link) for the large portion. Strangely, I had a strong urge for a chocolate thickshake so I grabbed one from Shanghai Sweets. Very nice one - large, thick, strong chocolate flavour but it was a little sweet.
Headed back to the Con and went into the "Getting Out There" panel. It was a very interesting panel discussion on current space exploration programmes, well led by Graham Mann, with Rob Masters and Mark Bivens adding their expertise. Clearly there is a lot happening just now and some of the future speculation was fascinating. The VTOL vehicles were a sight to see and the molded/extruded housing robots were an interesting diversion.
After the panel we headed over to the AV room to watch a couple of locally made fan films: Return of the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls and The Killer Bikini Vampire Girls Strike Back (no link for the second one). Short but funny and exploiting every vampire cliche you could imagine to good effect. Reasonable production values given budget and resources etc. I am certainly looking forward to Killer Bikini Vampire Girls 3: A New Hope (which got a very big laugh for the title alone) whenever it comes out!
Back to the room a little earlier than last night but then we talked for ages.
