A girl who I became friends with over Doctor Who has asked me if I want to join her cosplay group this year at CON. I'm really seriously hoping I can do it. It's an Victorian Lady Doctor Who group, and she asked me to play 6. (Okay, okay, probably no one wanted to play Colin Baker's Doctor because he dressed garishly and acted arrogantly, but fuck ( Read more... )

Hey people,

If you're going to CON and are interested in my plans, here's a link to my schedule.  Things are pretty flexible, there are only a couple of things I really want to see/do:

-Tongue in Geek comedy
-GeeKaraoke
-Steampunk Ball
-Some of the Whedonista/Chicks Dig Time Lords stuff

I'm not really expecting to do everything on the schedule, this is ( Read more... )

Okay!  I am definitely going to be at CON, now.  I have to thank a_jaclyn for letting me know that damncutekitty and lisianthia had lodging space available.  Thank you!  I met both those lovely ladies on Thursday night, and we got along well, so they are graciously adding me to their hotel-room-roster.

This is a huge relief.  I've been able to really focus on my preparations, now ( Read more... )

Okay people.  I know I've tried this before, to no avail, but I'm giving it one more shot.

I have a membership for CONvergence, but nowhere to stay.  Yes, I can bus in for a daytime experience, but it's not really the same, is it?

So can you please let me know if you or someone you know has a place I can crash?  I'll sleep on the floor!  Quiet as a ( Read more... )

I tidied up my room last night, and now have space to walk, pace even, if I find the need to.  I still have a long way to go, but I've at least reached a level of somewhat ordered chaos.  And go figure, tidying up has seemed to help with writing.

Today, after reading (and taking notes on) several more chapters of The Breakout Novelist (my newest ( Read more... )

I'm going to post, although I doubt anyone is reading.  I guess I'm okay with that.

I've been working on the novel again.  I think the characters are becoming more solid than they have been in years.  Yes, I've had these people in my head for years, and I'm ready to get them out.  It's risky.  Trying to write the novel that's been rattling around ( Read more... )

I got really excited about CON for a minute there.  But since the lodging problem never got solved, I'm back to thinking that it's not really going to happen.  Sure, I'll have a membership -- or at least, I've been told that I will.  But the most I can do is stopover during the day, I guess.  I'm not going to be able to really partake of all that ( Read more... )

I thought I'd post some images of a piece I've been working on the last few days.  I'm working on various projects for the upcoming CONvergence here in the Twin Cities, and one of them is a brass wire-wrapped statement piece.  I've simplified my favorite motif from some sari material I recently picked up (for a corset).  Here's a photo of the ( Read more... )

Okay, so I realize now that I might be wrong about the Sheraton (Starwood) being booked up.  Although it may be already, I see now that it's an in-house booking process.  D'oh!  So, I guess I will call them tomorrow to find out about whether there are any rooms left ( Read more... )
