I should post . . .
Extended family leave today and as such, I get my room back today.
Right now I'm mostly just kinda figuring out my last minute con-related stuff. It's like, only now you really start to remember what you need, what you should bring, what you need to do . . . so let's see what I've got on my list:
-Burn 4 copies of the 49-episode "Shinsengumi!" drama (including the unsubbed Hijikata special) for certain Peacemaker cosplayers that I've been in touch with all year since I'm just that nice.
Currently I've burned off about half of what I need. Maybe another day or two and I'll have it all done. 'Sides, one of the girls is giving me "Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto" in exchange which should rock.
-Look over my outfit, make sure it still works and that I remember how to tie an obi.
It should be okay, seeing as I haven't touched any of my outfit since Seattle.
-Oh shoot! I need to try to get a message to all the Otakuites that I think might be going! We should try to meet up and get a photo taken or something . . .
Since I don't have control over Gail's "Convention" account, I imagine this'll involve a lot of legwork on my part. I guess I'll message . . . either right now or a little later in the day.
-Test out the coloured hairspray.
Yeah . . . I'll do that later . . .
-Figure out if I'll be able to attend the Masquerade Ball held the night before the convention (pre-registration day). And if yes, whether I go with suit or tux or whatever. Finally, I'd still need to get/make a mask.
I imagine I'll probably make a blue mask with a white mountain design . . . 'cause ya gotta represent and all. Other than that, I do have a fair amount of formal clothing in my closet so that's not a problem. Really, it comes down to logistics: it'll run late, and if there's nothing else going on my eventual houseguest may get bored should she not want to attend said-ball. Complicated much, yes . . .
-Perhaps buy convention supplies like water, food, etc. to leave in the car.
Yeah, we'll see . . .
-Hehe . . . buy sausage links for the Claymore photo shoot to stand in for human guts, and possibly a "Raki wig".
This is the single greatest convention inside-joke in the history of conventions. You see, we're having a Claymore photoshoot, but NO ONE so far is known to be a Claymore cosplayer! Yeah, wrap your head around that one . . . but yeah, we'll meet up, some of the girls said they'd wear blonde wigs regardless of whatever else they were wearing that day . . . it's nutty.
-Maybe fine-tune my music video storyboards, as it's very possible our Tetsu' won't be able to finish her outfit (which shall make us cry).
I hate to have to resort on filler bits for what I originally wanted . . . but we'll see.
-Hit up a bank machine, get cash for con'.
Self-explanatory.
-Charge batteries for camera.
Self-explanatory.
(Crap! This list is getting longer than I originally thought!)
-Figure out sleeping arrangements for houseguest and self.
I'll probably give up my room again . . . sleep on the couch again . . .
I'm sure there's more last minute stuff I'm not taking into consideration . . . damn. Whatever . . .
Hey Sahki', you sure you don't have any picture requests or anything? 'Cause you know I'll do it, y'know. Ahem . . . same goes for everyone else. Any specific cosplays you want me to look out for or anything? People love convention scavenger hunts, I find. Here's my example of something of which I MUST take a picture: a picture of a Zidane cosplayer headbutting someone in the chest. I need another one of those.
Anyone else? Anything else?
