Saturday we met up with some people for what was essentially JB’s sending-off. She’s achieving what every otaku says they’re going to do, she’s going to the motherland (Japan). We had fun eating at Olive Garden until they closed and then we went to Star’s apartment to hang out. I was a bit surprised she nominated it, since she’s been so firm about getting it just right for the housewarming party. While we were there we were actually productive and hashed out our AX trip plans. And we wore down Cat’s resistance until she buckled and agreed to go too. I think we’ve got a good, strong group of cosplayers going; it should be cool.
I was glad to get a better idea of what’s going on and to link up my plans with everyone else’s. It appears that we’ll be renting a U-Haul trailer (which my truck will be pulling). Our group of cosplayers has some mega-awesome, super-sized costumes planned, so we’ll need the extra space to get everything there. Hearing about everybody’s plans has gotten me all fired up and convinced that I need to bring my A-game to AX. Then after we’d taken care of the bulk of the AX planning we watched some MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) on dvd to show some people the silly costumes Star and I are considering for later in the year. After all, the next couples’ cosplay we do is my choice and I think MXC would be fun to do.
I’ve got 7 potential costumes that can go to AX. Each one has it’s own list of things left to do. I don’t have time to finish all of them, so I’ll have to decide very soon which ones I’ll focus on; the rest will have to wait till the fall con season. I haven’t really started on any of our couples’ cosplay, which is making me uneasy. And I just took a look at my extended work calendar. I’ve been working 60-hour weeks (plus Saturdays) for all of this month and the calendar says this schedule will keep going till mid-May, which sucks. That will make it harder to find the time and energy to work on costumes, but with just two months left till A-kon I really need to get cranking on them.
