Now that COSI is behind me, here's what I need to focus on for Comic Con: Vader Chase has pretty much got everything done. The pants still need some tweaking, I need to hem his cape, and get the shirt started. The shirt won't take long (at least I hope it won't). Now that he has his shoulder armor I can make his undercape. I'm hoping to get all ...
Got my Comic Con plane tickets yesterday! yahoo! :) Hooray for tax returns! LOL Also; I bought a new camera. A Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. I'm so excited about it! Wonderfest will be it's first event. Yesterday we worked on Chase's dragoncon project, and I did a bit on one of my Mustafar Padme brooches, but she is pretty much definitely going on hold as I have ANOTHER new costume ...
So, San Diego report! Wednesday! We got up at 4AM, went over to Ash's house and picked her up. We got to the airport a little before 5 and got checked in. Nothing was open so we just had to sit around. We ended up in like, the loser part of the airport I'd never been in before. So we're sitting there, and this lady working for Northwest makes an announce ...
I'm still in San Diego - our flight is at 12:30 today... we're already packed so we're just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good... I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting - this is what Ash and I call the "Famiglia." Don't ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling all day... we have a 4 hour flight to Detroit, and then ...
Moooore San Diego updates!! There is still a TON of stuff (action figures, statues, displays, etc) I need to get pictures of - I'll probably get most of them Saturday when I'm in Starfire, easier to move around in :) This morning was the Rebel Legion breakfast/group photoshoot - pics from earlier today and last night are up now: Thursday and Friday up. More to do tonight - Harry Potter ...
Pics from this morning and yesterday: Wednesday and Thursday at Comic Con A cool shot of part of the Grand Canyon from the airplane... My swimsuit I made for this summer!! I'm the "Spider Loser" New lightsaber that I bought at Preview Night last night! Luke's severed hand!!! AUUUUGH! (that's the real one!) Me wearing my new Arwen dress :) OMG!! flashbacks to C3!! THIS LINE IS CAPPED!!! AUGH!!
We're in San Diego! Things got off to a bumpy start, with a 6AM flight out of Memphis with an angry ticket agent and a 30 minute delay due to a malfunction. We were freaking because we only had 50 minutes of overlay time in Minneapolis - but we made it there on time, made our San Diego flight and got here in one piece... including luggage, this time! We ate lunch ...
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 ...
Quick Comic Con costume schedule: Wednesday preview night: normal :P Thursday: Arwen Blood Red, Ozma Friday: Leia, Hermione Saturday: Either Mara Jade or Starfire and Queen Amidala Sunday: Mara Jade or Starfire (if I wore MJ sat, then I'll do Starfire sun, etc) I'd prefer to wear Starfire saturday, but I'd have to get out of it early for the masq, so I may just wait til sunday (since that's ...
San Diego tickets bought - expensive, ouch! We leave Memphis at 6AM (again, ouch!) - plane change in Minneapolis - arrive San Diego at 11 AM. So we'll have plenty of time to swim and rest (especially rest - if I have to be up at 4AM to catch a plane, I'm going to want a nap! haha) before Preview night. We'll be there all day Sunday this year! I hated ...
