I know a lot of people are excited and I don't want to bring anyone down! So you can just skip this segment if you don't want to hear non-excited talk about C5 LOL. I am very disappointed that C5 is going to be 2 weeks before Dragoncon. Just about any other time of the year and we would have definitely been going. Besides the money issue, I just can't take ...
Dragoncon memberships purchased (first time I've done it online, too) Adventurecon hotel booked Booking Adventurecon car (and maybe Dcon car) today...
I thought I'd mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don't know why - there really is nothing "horror" about it. It's basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year - Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we all go out to the Nashville Zoo and work ...
Posting from work, which I'm not supposed to do, but -- I've got to get this stuff together in my head -- Events for the rest of the year: Make a Wish Ice Cream Social Sept 28 (ANH Leia) Horrorfest Oct 21-22 (Hoth Leia, Mando, ??) Pumpkinfest/Nashville zoo Oct 28 (ANH Leia, maybe Belle) Halloween Oct 31 (Dorothy) (Novacon in november was pushed back to March :() Toys for Tots at Toys R Us ...
Jupiter isn't going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it's about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven't bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn't be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there's no time to worry with Jupiter. :( Oh well - I'll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
MidSouthCon is in a week and 2 days!! :D I'm so excited! The weekend is going to be so busy. Here's the schedule: Friday: I'll probably get there around 6:30 or so, get my badge... opening ceremonies are at 8 - I'll be there in my Imperial Officer uniform. As soon as that's over, I'm heading home and changing and then heading into Wolfchase for the Toys R Us midnight Star Wars opening. ...
I've actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals... and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I'm in love, haha. I painted my shoes for Padme - I wasn't going to, they were ok looking, ...
I haven't updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday... but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to do the tan hood thing, or a cape. I'm thinking ...
For no reason, here's my travel schedule thus far this year (cons and otherwise) March - Jackson for spring break, don't have exact dates yet. MidSouthCon - April 2-4. Celebration III/Indianapolis - April 20-24 A-Kon/Dallas - June 3-5 Comic Con/San Diego - July 13-17 Dragoncon/Atlanta - uh, September 2-5 I think. Maybe sometime mid April go to Sewanee for a weekend, dunno. Nashville for a weekend ...
I got mine and my father's plane tickets for Celebration III - now I just need to get Ash's. I registered for Akon. Next year... I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I'm thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it's going to depend on how things look at the beginning of the year. MidSouthCon- I'm ...
