I like these ladies Piña Colada meets on the Internet. He should keep bringing them home with him.
I almost missed meeting Piña Colada's new artist lady because I spent most of the day ON THE MOON. Or, ya know, at TeslaCon.
...which is the local steampunk convention set ON THE MOON.
It's technically December now, so I didn't even mind running into Moon Santa. It didn't hurt that he was was sitting on this lady's lap. She said she knew what Santa wanted for Christmas this year, and I believed her.
Krampus did not beat me with a stick. I suppose I have been insufficiently naughty.

Oh my god. It's a guy cosplaying Data from Star Trek cosplaying Sherlock Holmes from Sherlock Holmes. I love everything.
That guy on the left. I WANT TO STEAL HIS FACE.
Things you learn at a steampunk convention: Spicy chocolate gears are as tasty as they are ridiculous.
