Crunch time!

So, All-Con, my personal biggest con of the year, is now officially less than two weeks away.

Am I ready?

Noooope.

It happens every year.  I'm gonna be ready this time!  And about the beginning of January I start costume repair and planning and such.  And every year, I end up in the "there's still tons of time" rut about the beginning of February. And as a result, I spend the two weeks before All-Con in a panicked frenzy! I've spent this entire week reparing my TRON Siren costume. Had to entirely reattach ALL the lighting, and I still have to check all ELEVEN electrical connections inside the suit...I know for a fact that at least two of them are broken and need to be re-soldered. I still have minor costume pieces to buy or make that I kept putting off because they were "minor" and now I have to cram it all into two weekends.  I did, however, make lists!  I love lists.

Here's my costume master list

And my packing list, complete with emergency repair section. (Yes, I really do bring my sewing machine and soldering gun to con.  You never know.)

It's totally worth all the stress, though.  I love being able to wear multiple costumes and having everything organized and together.  Now, if I can just figure out which costumes to bring and which to leave behind...
