CONvergence
I managed to take all of five Who related pictures at CON this past weekend! Plus post a wall of text. Read it if you want, or just look at the pictures! Ooh, actually, does anyone have any pictures of the Sherlock who was walking around on Friday?
I personally had a stressful/bad time because every single person I knew except for one person pretty much last minute found out they couldn't go, and I've only been to CT and Gally and C2E2 before as far as conventions so the sheer size and amount of fandoms combined with the fact that I was basically there on my own really put me off at first (I drove up Friday) Saturday I woke up to an extremely flat tire and then broke my key trying to get my stuck trunk open to get to my spare, so I had to be towed on top of a new tire! Then once I finally got back to the con (I changed into my Red Kang costume) it was ok but I still left for a few hours to go back to my hotel and take a break. At that point I put back on about half of my Femme Seven. Saturday night was fun, but since I was staying in the Days Inn over the road I made the decision not to get drunk so that I could drive back. Sunday I had to leave around 11:30 am to make it to a small family gathering a few hours away, and about 30 minutes down the road I blew another tire! So all in all it was just short of a disaster but it was ok Saturday night.
I did get asked several times if I was cosplaying as Amy when I was in my full Femme Seven gear though, which really confused me. Sure I had dyed my hair for my Femme Vyvyan (which no one got, so I changed out of it quickly) but really? Amy? Anyway, if anyone got pictures of me please share! Always looking for new pictures of my costumes!
I hung out with Four for a while, her K-9 was remote controlled.
And then I found a TARDIS and made her pose with my TARDIS pillow. :)
Dalek in the background! (You can't see it but I bought my TARDIS a button that says "Hi, I'm Sexy!")
These girls had their own K-9 too.
Four and Sarah Jane
And then on Sunday before I left I ran into the Four I was talking to but this time she had changed into Five.
Now I have to finally get back to my Mark Of The Rani Peri spencer, which should have been finished weeks ago but I kept putting it off, then I was housesitting and I didn't feel like leaving their dogs alone long enough to come back and work on it. I haven't even ordered the pattern for the dress yet!
