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.) |
