Dude I have really messed around getting ready for MTAC. I messed up on my pre-reg, I messed up on getting an art table, and now I'm not going to have a new costume. :P I'm hardly going to have time to finish Padme for MidSouthCon weekend after next, and I forgot I have to finish my cousin's Link costume for MTAC, so I'm pushing Ozma back to Comic-Con, and ...

My new costumes for it are ...

He rented a jedi costume back for Halloween 2000 and made a good Qui-Gon, so I know he wouldn't mind doing it again. That way whenever I need to go to events and stuff and can't get Ash or ...
