From Tornado ColossalCon last weekend, from Anime North the weekend before, and from Tibet two weeks before that. I'll be posting more about everything sometime later, right now I'm just glad to have a bit of time to breathe! Though all three trips threw me tons of inspiration for new costumes and sewing projects, so breathing time will likely go ( Read more... )

It was lovely seeing people at Polaris, but in the end I think the weekend confirmed what I had suspected for a while: I need a break. Conventions and costuming just aren't as fun for me as they used to be. This isn't a value of conventions or costuming themselves (and most definitely not of my wonderful friends), it's more of a reflection of the ( Read more... )

Wow, Polaris weekend is coming up fast. I feel like I'm behind in everything in my life right now. But definitely looking forward to it, as I wasn't able to attend last year.

I have a room at the Sheraton with cuddly_vampyr (Sarah from Ottawa, some of you met her at con a few years ago) and housie Lesley (pained_unknown). This was fewer people than we expected to have ( Read more... )

I lost the parking lottery today. >_< Me and 31 other cheapass students finally got towed from our semi-regular illegal parking spots across from the college. But my car is back safe and sound and the $105 I paid to get it out of the tow lot is still way cheaper than an on-campus parking pass for even one semester. (Not to mention I'm really ( Read more... )

Roomed with:
chibik3r0, solartempest, sakurak, infini_iv, lousyitachi, stardustshadow, mekou on Thursday only, and TEN THOUSAND POKEMON.

Spent other half of time in other room with:
ryuuraigeki, amy_the_yu, nyaonyaoneko, nicolain, stray_wind, _michael_sama and yavarice

Cosplayed:
Elizabeth Swann on Friday
Guy Cecil on Saturday ( Read more... )

I always seem to end up posting way more a convention...but it's the best way to communicate with people, really.

Several things!

• As yavarice pointed out, it would probably be a bad idea to pack a (pressurized) can of hairspray on an airplane. This seems logical, so does anyone have some Got2B (and possibly a wig head) I can use when I get to con? ( Read more... )

Back from a weekend in Toronto...despite the fact that I live and go to school in Kitchener I still kind of feel like I live in the GTA. Even the people I know in my area are still people I first met in Toronto. Except now they're closer to where I currently am, which is good because I really shouldn't get into the habit of driving to Toronto ( Read more... )
