IT'S ALMOST DONE!!!! Ok so wow I haven't posted in a week. Let me play catch up. I got the lining reattached to the embroidered piece. I pleated and repleated and rerepleated and rerereplealted and rerererepleated it all onto the yoke about 500 times. I got the trim sewn on the tunic Wednesday night. Friday I had the day off! But... I had a hair appointment I was getting cold feet ...
OH. MY. GOD. Dragoncon 2003, still. The three of us were trying to figure out WHERE we could get Anne McCaffrey's autograph, since Ash and I wanted it for our moms, who were big fans. We couldn't figure out where or when she was signing, so after a bit of wandering around and digging through the guidebooks, we decided to ask. So, here I am, wearing Ruby Heart. Basically a pirate ...
So far all of my Dragoncon 2003 stories sound a whole lot like whining. I promise you that isn't true. All of these stories make me laugh, then and now. But just to balance out some of the whining-type stories, here's a less complain-y one. Dragoncon 2002, Ash and I had missed out on Evening at Bree. We had wanted to go, gone downstairs and stood in line, but after a volunteer ...
This is one of my all time favourite Dragoncon stories. Dragoncon 2003 was just me, Cath and Ash. We had a hell of a time that year. Monday rolled around, we packed up, had them pick up my costumes to ship them out, and checked out of our room - but, our f light didn't leave for a few more hours, so we checked our baggage and just hung out for ...
I actually talked about this pretty recently in my blog, but here's the whole story in its entirety. So, I'd been wearing Belldandy to every single convention that year, including shipping those wings to Dallas, Anaheim, and now Atlanta. After the Star Wars costume contest that saturday at Dragoncon, I rushed back to our hotel room - mostly to get out of my Padme headdress, as I mentioned last story ...
It was decided yesterday that I am exhausted. It's just this tiredness that goes beyond tiredness. I went home from work early, skipped class and just laid around most of yesterday, alternately napping and reading. I was sick after DCon last year - I think I might have something again this year. I got a cool sticker for my car. It says "Pirate on Board"
Wow, Emerald Rose actually emails you back after signing their guestbook. That's so cool. They are awesome. I have my dragoncon report & digital camera pics up at my livejournal! Now that dragoncon is over, I've settled back into school and all that good kind of stuff, I can finally concentrate on answering emails and working on sundowner more. Just thought I'd point out this, since the link to it ...
I've been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven't slept in days and I'm so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then had a couple of hours to wait. We had breakfast at McDonald's, ...
1. My boxes made it to the hotel OK. 2. We are checked in for our flight. 3. My girls have their white tights. 4. Teela is finished, albeit somewhat ghetto-ly, lol 5. Neither girl is spending the night - picking up ash, meeting cat at airport. What's left to do? 1. Double check everything in suitcase 2. Pack carry on bag 3. Double check everything w/Cat Ash went to the goodwill store last minute today to ...
I am a nervous wreck. I'm up at 7 AM because I couldn't sleep thinking about this weekend. I'm skipping my classes today - I would be completely useless. It would be pointless. I AM going to work though, that will keep me busy with things I need to do and may also calm my nerves. If I were off today I don't know what I'd do all day, just wander ...
