I finally found a local group of costumers that sounds similar to the GBACG. I sent in my membership info but it was received too late to attend the first event of the year. Now I'm waiting to hear what the 2011 schedule will be, so I can make my costuming plans for local events. YAY!
Even though I missed the first event, I did meet up afterwards with
heileen and
green_martha for the first time. It was so wonderful to meet them in person finally! We had great conversation over superb Japanese food and I got to see their latest bustle dresses. It will be so much fun to make plans for events with friends. :D
