IT'S CON SEASON BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Megacon was a few weeks ago and I'm currently browsing the gallery at EPBOT . I'm eating my breakfast kinda bouncing up and down going "omg. omG. OMG!!!" as I look at each beautifully crafted (and some not so much) costumes. Just the EFFORT people put into these. MMMMmmmmm
So yesterday I finally went to the APEX junk yard to find meh tubez. That places is the apocalypse. Seriously, check it out:
I circled and circled the place for about an hour looking for the perfect Vacum Tube and or lightbulb to place in my cane/staff, It was like playing Goldy Locks. "This tube is too big. This tube is too small. This tube is... filled with goo. Ewww". I was about to give up and settle for a sort of bland looking one when I thought I saw something run past my feet. Which, if you look at the photos, was a little "oh shit!". When I looked down I saw it. The effing holy grail tube I'd been searching for! Perfect size, interesting wire components, brown base, and bonus "Edison" brand. Oh you steampunkers shall enjoy it!
After I found that the rest was like a kid in a candy shop. "I'll take this wire component. And this... thing. And these bulbs! YES! MY CREATION SHALL LIVE! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!"
On the way home I swung by the library to pick up a fashion history book for some last minute ideas. I'm so stoked!
The only downer is that I had to take a month off the gym and two weeks off my bike due to some medical crap. I'm supposed to do more, but it's not dire and the doc said to wait till October for more stuff, which is AFTER Dcon. Yay!!!
I broke down on Thursday and bought my plane ticket to DCon a little early. Maybe not the best financial move, but it was cheap, non stop, and not some ungodly hour. YAYYYY!!! Now I need to book a room. Hrmph. I'm wondering if They keep rooms for guests?
