ACEN - Last Call

- Hand-sew patches to reinforce iron-on bond.
- Hand-sew snaps onto the belt instead of just safety-pinning it.

Totally do these.

Sewing the patches might take an hour or half hour depending on how secure you want it. The patch is pretty thick so it will take supah finger manpower to push the needle through so many times.
Safety pins + cosplay = nightmarish problems    Been there, done that. Never again.


Edit: and oh noes, I was just informed that I will only be at acen on Friday...which is good in that I can be the ugly duckling walking with you group of REDs but bad that I will have to miss the Valve shoot.
I'd stay Sat + Sun (or maybe just Sat) if any of you kind people are willing to accept an extra roommate? I'll pay my share for the room of course. I was thinking that I could room for Fri and/or Sat night and just take the bus back to Madison from O'Hare.

You shouldn't need to worry about that, the world ends that Saturday.

Apparently it does. But in case of the minute possibility that said prophecy is not true, I will have a place to sleep and will not end up homeless for one night.

Well, our room is techincally Backfire's so I can't really speak for him - though I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Dunno how comfortable you'd be sleeping in the same room as Versus though (sorry bud).

Haha, what's wrong with Versus?
I travel around a lot for frisbee and we usually have 7 (who can get really smelly pre-showers) people in a room every night. I can't imagine anyone being the equivalent of 6 sweaty and gross frisbee players.

atom has offered his room to me and we're discussing it so I might be set.  I've also decided not to stay for Sunday because I don't want to carry my luggage everywhere and Sundays are usually boring.

[backfire]

Oh I got here late. Well s'cool at0m's offerin his room to ya then.

Anyways, one day left for me before I take off to coe's in the cities so we can catch the bus to chicago the next morning. Which means I have one day to make sense of this mess of my room, wash my clothes, reinstall windows on my macbook, find entertainment for bus rides, pack bags, go through list to make sure I didn't forget anything, then make sure I head to bed early so I can catch the bus to Minneapolis wednesday morning.


...which I know all to well actually means none of this will even get started on until 11pm tomorrow night.



OH, and finish my super-crazy-freakin-last-minute scout cosplay. I need orange spray paint, some gauss wrap, and something to use as that backpack thing I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE and have no experience in sewing even though it's just a simple cylinder and I'd be really happy if someone did have something I could use for it  :'(

[Cloud_9ine]

Ok, another thing I had forgotten, if anyone would like to pool a contact info list, please email me by tonight in the following format
