 Galveston Dickens on the Strand Festival- part 2
Last but not least on Saturday, we had a little meetup of our Star Trek club, including X-Marker Triolamj.
Sunday morning at Dickens started out breezy and cold, great weather for the costumers, and it kept the hoards down till about noon...
Right in the gate we saw the stilt walker again, now as a christmas tree.
Something new and handy this year, gas powered ATMs!
Some kids on the Queen's ice rink.
We took in a show by the world champion St. Thomas' Episcopal School Pipe Band and dancers.
Just a couple more....

Galveston Dickens on the Strand Festival- Part 3
Lots of photo ops....
One of the added attractions this year was the "Steampunk Square" where a little "alternative history" was on display...
There was supposed to be a 'Steam Punk Ball' Saturday night, I brought my formal rig, but didn't attend the ball. I ate a lot of seafood and slept though! 
I think this young lady's dirigible lifted without her, maybe because she was carrying too much weight in metal !
Honestly, I'm getting a little burned out on the whole SP costuming fad, but hey, it's not all bad !
And lastly, on the way out of town Sundy evening we saw some big bikes in a little truck!
Looking through all the photos, I realize that even though there were many guys in kilts on hand, there are not many photos of kilts. I have to blame my wife, she had the camera most of the time, shooting pics of costume ideas for next time!
Anyhow, we had a lovely weekend, and are already looking forward to next year!

Thanks for posting - they all look so genteel but so animated at the same time.

Gotta ask...what's a Dickens festival, and how did it start?
