Today I go home for good (or evil, possibly). I can't describe how happy I am; it surpasses mere smiling and skipping. It's almost closer to contentment, with the feeling of satisfaction and optimism that's inside me. I am so glad to finally have this behind me.
( Quick de-briefing )
I'm sitting in the Calgary airport right now. I've got a few hours before my airport hopping begins. I'll spend all day in transit; I won't get home till sometime after midnight. But with this being my final trip, all inconveniences and obstacles seem trivial to me.
Once I get home, it's gonna be crazy for a bit. I'll have just Tuesday and half of Wednesday to shift into cosplay OVERDRIVE and accomplish as much as I possibly can in those 30 hours. It will take some precise juggling, because alot of what I need to do can't be rushed. There's no speeding up how fast fiberglass cures, or bondo sets, or paint dries. I'm working on the timetable right now.
The Dragon*Con transportation situation didn't work out the way I'd hoped. Rather than the initial plan of carpooling in a big van with a U-Haul to carry our costumes, I may have to drive my own truck to ensure that there's enough room for my costumes. I don't mind driving, but it won't be as fun/sociable and it'll be more tiring too.
Regardless of how I get there, Dragon*Con is shaping up to be an epic experience. Even though I may not totally "click" with it (since it is a sci-fi/fantasy con), the sheer energy and enthusiasm of it's community holds a lot of promise. From the parade to the multiple contests to the publicly advertised parties, there will be so many awesome events going on. I haven't been this excited for a con in quite a while.
