Kerry tells us more about the Sherlock Holmes 221B Con in
Atlanta.
I’ve already given a few particulars about the recent
Sherlock Holmes conference that I attended: 221B Con. I also wanted to show
some of the creativity that went into the whole event. The fans that attended
went all out. They had fun dressing in costumes and attending panels on topics
such as Costuming on a Budget and Villains of Sherlock Holmes. There were name badge stickers with clever sayings and bracelets advertising different groups. In addition,
some of the hardcore fans of the genre took it to the next level and decorated
their hotel doors with their favorite items of interest.
Some of them celebrated the shipping of Sherlock and Molly (see
previous Mystery Playground post containing conference vocabulary terms: shipping
refers to a relationship that the fans create between two characters.)
Other attendees clearly love the BBC Sherlock, starring
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, and our guest of honor David Nellist.
It was anything goes when it came to showing your love for
everything Sherlock and Watson. It was a lot of fun to walk down the hall and
see what each fan had created. The Victorian episode, The Abominable Bride, was
a big favorite. This door represents that episode and several girls at the
conference dressed up as brides.
