You'll make it without a problem! Just start making plans now, and start getting your accessories together. Don't you need to build a laser??

Hope to hang out with ya at a future con!

Oh, yeah, the laser... we've sorta blown what budget we had on the suit, and don't have much left over to have a proper prop constructed. I went and bought a blue Nerf gun (the kind that shoots green golf-sized balls) and am going to spray-paint it red. If nothing else, it will strike that fine balance between fun and annoying.

WHAT? I was promised an actual handheld laser weapon! Or, barring that, a super-soaker! You and your whole outfit are seriously cramping my style, pal...
