Wow, that's an amazing con report and I'm loving all the pictures. Thanks for putting it up! :3

[honorarydoctor]

No problem. Glad you liked it.

Of course you packed your spare scarf. ROFL.

Another great chapter! Great to get more detail on all the fabulous costumes. And the behind-the-scenes of the masque is really interesting - I certainly enjoyed your skit in it's shaky Youtube form!

I highly recommend Doctor Who monster costumes as a weight-loss treatment a la the old fashioned steam closet. (And my Movellan was finished just hours before I wore it, too - I wonder if they're cursed?)

[flibertyjibitz]

Yes I do believe they are cursed!! It explains everything! (And it absolves me of all responsibility);)

[penwiper337]

If all else fails, blame the costume gods. :)

Well I seem to recall packing both scarves in case anyone at the Doctor Panel wanted to see the diffeence between Tara's and Chris Brimelow's color choices. Yeah the Masque BTS was kinda harrowing this year but we made it work. We'll do what we can to smooth this out next year.

Yes Dr. Who Monster costumes are a good weight loss progrm. Doubly so for 2012 because I keep having the foolish notion of doing a Zygon. Maybe Movellans are cursed but the reaction makes it worth it.

Oh what a wonderful report! Those costumes were just amazing.

God I wish I could have been there. :D

[honorarydoctor]

It's an awesome time. I hope you make it out next year.

As usual amazing write up! I don't even know how you can remember the order of everything, it all sort of blurs for me lmao.

And your skit? Was INCREDIBLE. I had been disappointed by the lack of any skits (I'm definitely entering next year and trying to make a skit with a few friends. Not sure WHICH friends yet, but.....) so your guys just blew me away. (I did think it was a reference to the Evil League Of Evil though :) )

I think it was very lame and odd as well that the Craig Fergerson people weren't paying as much attention to old series cosplayers, but since the director wasn't a Who fan, he probably didn't even know honestly.

But yes! Congrats on the amazing skit and amazing costumes in general :)

[honorarydoctor]

Thanks. Well I remember the big stuff and broadstrokes and between the order of the photos on my camera and going over certain events with my friends the week or two after I'm able to mostly peice it back together- but trust me there's still alittle blurring going on.

I really appreciate that you liked it. I remember you said so on Sat night. Yes we were disappointed by a lack of skits too but then again there usually aren't THAT many in the masque- partly I'm sure due to the strict time limit they enforce to particiepents. Look forward to seeing what you come up with next year!

It is lame but I don't expect the ferguson people to really know Who- honestly I was busy so it wasn't that big a deal to not get on Fergy. Heck I made it in the audience when Matt Smith was on- good enough for me!

(1) That first photo of you and Diana was truly the golden one of the lot. (My computer nearly crashed trying to preview the quintillion pictures on that disk, but they were good!)

(2) WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE ONE ABOUT YOU CONCUSSING FRAZER HINES?

[blueprintblue]

Oh, and thanks for not posting the photo of me sleeping backstage sheathed in bubble wrap and Van's Jamie vest.

[honorarydoctor]

I have the photo of you in the best but never saw the picture of you sleeping. That zonked huh?

[honorarydoctor]

Yeah that was the standout form that picture.

As I recall the Frazer incident (concussing????) happened on Sunday- thus I recounted it in Part Three coming at ya tonight.
