AC = no Ssvanti (suiting anyway)
14 years ago
I'm still attending AC, but I've been informed as of today, that AC will be without my suit. So while I was hoping to at least unveil the mask at AC, that appears to be no longer possible.
So while I'll be sad about that, I'll just have to look forward to FC2012 for the big first, assuming I get to attend.
I suppose I should be happy I get more time to find someone to make the tail, and find a clothes maker to make the 2-3 sets of threads for the final costume as well, but I'm still down about not even having the mask for AC.
So to anyone hoping to catch glimpses, sorry to disappoint. Still only currently planning on FC and AC in 2012, and I may be nixing AC, as it seems to me, to be too large of a convention, and with them closing off the roof last year I'm sure they'll figure out more things to take away from the con goers because of idiots who can't control themselves. If I do remove AC from my list, I'll see about finding another convention to attend.

Drop me a note when you get there. I'm stupposed to be hanging with a few different groups throughout the con, see if I can help arrange a meeting :D
A convention can and does lead to separations. You may plan to do things together, but without everybody wearing watches and setting alarms, and/or without texting each other (not possible in the 80s when we were attending some of the earlier conventions), these logistics all fall apart. And again with Comic-Con, which was in San Diego where we all lived. Car pooled together toward even.
So, even for friends who know and buddy together really well, a convention just by the 4011234 things that can distract and interest you, rips groups apart. Even artists who work con tables leave to attend functions, take lunches, meet people who take them to special suites, nudge nudge wink wink.
If you really want to meet people who are attending a con, try and visit the ENTIRE WEEK of that con, meaning days before or after. Take tourist days to hang out for after the party parties and hooking up, making dates you can keep and so on.
Doing things concurrent with the con is just undoable imo.
