Well, if he wanted to go formal at an sf convention these days, he should have worn a top hat. (Steam punk rules!)
Speaking of authors who are unprepared for what they experience on SF conventions - I just jumped over and saw that "Bimbos of the Death Sun" is available on Kindle!

(It's a mystery about a poor academic whose publisher forced that awful title on his serious speculative fiction book, and sent him to a convention where he has to solve the mystery of the murder of the con's writer guest of honor. It's most fun for people who know what cons are like - or were like in the seventies.)
