Family Party
My cousin's wedding was good, and the reception afterwards was good - the only thing was that in between we had about three hours to kill. So we drank coffee, and then we went to a Blockbuster closing-out sale. I now own a $6.99 copy of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?. And then we visited my grandparents' graves; and by that time we figured it was ok to show up at the golf club where the banquet was to be held.
I learned my cousin has a suit of chain mail - a few years ago, he bought 50 lbs of rings and, with three weeks until Hallowe'en, roped his friends, family and co-workers into helping him link them into mail. I also learned he and a few of his friends went to a LARPing weekend once, but were too scared by the other fans (possibly the panda furry, but more likely the self-cutters) to repeat the experiment. His sister, OTOH, ran into a crowd of cosplayers from Anime North last night and seems to have been intrigued, once she decided she wasn't just hallucinating them.
ETA - here are my parents and brother killing time at the Starbucks, and here's green_trilobite with his iPad.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure they didn't.
Compared to chainmail, my Starfleet uniform seems perfectly innocent in it's taking up of closet space I don't have to spare.

His current phase involves deliberately ugly thrift store cardigans, and the like. Lazy hipster, I suppose you'd call it. You should see his christmas sweater....as near as I can recall it's an amazingly badly proportioned scene in which a small anthropomorphic cat is brewing hot chocolate at a big purple stove in a crazily tilted kitchen.
He was so pleased with it.
The look on my father's face when he saw it indicated that he's never heard of the practice of wearing something 'ironically'.
