On my way

I shipped my boxes out yesterday – five all together!! Ugh, I don’t want to think about the cost. One was the big, big one that fits my Amidala Parade parasol – I also fit the cloak in there, as well as Ozma, for extra padding for the parasol. Two of them were 16x16s with most of my other stuff in it… everything I’ve finished, that is. One of them is only about half full, because all this unfinished stuff I’m taking in my suitcases will go back in that box.
Then one was my empty MR lightsaber box, stuffed full of paper. I sent it because I plan on buying another MR Force FX lightsaber there – and I can ship it home in that old box 🙂 The last one is Ashley’s X-Wing helmet – which is AWESOME. Have I talked about it at all? She got it from Richie’s Armor and it’s SO sweet.

I finished redoing my slave leia boots… for Starfire, I still have to finish attaching the silver to the bottom of the top (which won’t take long), put the snaps on my gauntlets and attach the jewels, finish the other boot cover (won’t take long), put the velcro closure on the armband (won’t take long), and finish the collar (which will probably take most of tonight)

Less than 24 hours now… our flight leaves at… 6AM tomorrow morning. Gosh! How annoying.
Tomorrow night at preview night we plan on wandering around with the video camera (hopefully) so we can show everybody back home what the dealer’s room is like. Still photos just don’t capture it!
Thursday we have no plans… wander around, basically. Get some sleep that night.
Friday is Star Wars day! I’ll be wearing Slave Leia and Ash will be in her X-Wing uniform. Rebel Legion breakfast and group picture that morning. That evening will be the Harry Potter party at a nearby Barnes and Noble (which I still don’t know if we’ll go to), and hopefully that night we can go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There’s a movie theater real close to our hotel, but everytime I try to pull up friday’s schedule on their site, it says it can’t list it. Hmph.
Saturday is the 501st photo at 8:30… then masquerade stuff. Ash and I will probably be playing droid hunt… me on the 501st side and her on the RL side. haha!
