I figured I'd go with America for one of the shoots, but which version of Italy to do and on which day to do which I still need to decide on.

Also, Felix! Were you possibly looking for a hotel room to stay in for the con?

Are any of the rest of you looking for a hotel room? ' w ';

Oh, and you can borrow my binder for fitting purposes if it'll fit you. My chest measurement is 37 inches, and the binder model I have is one of the zip-up-the-front kinds. So tell me if you think that might work.

And hey, I wish I could coerce you or Valeria into doing Rev War England at some point, 'cause either of you would be wondrous. <3

Auricle: Broblerone made me laugh out loud. Good job. XD

I mightmight want to stay in your hotel room. As of yet, I don't quite know. I'm kinda leaning towards it, since the parents had a bit of a capital freakout when I said I might be crashing with Dylan. STUPID I KNOW, I'M SORRY.

DO AMERICA. ON SUNDAY. I vote Fifa on Saturday unless it's suuuper cold, then do uniform. And then Fifa for jammies?

Felix, I've got an Ace bandage you can use. And a really small sports bra which does some flattening.

Looks like I'm not going to bed like I thought.

Auricle · « **Reply #752 on:** August 22, 2010, 11:34:49 pm »

Malaria, let me know as soon as you can about that, it would be lovely to have you room with us.

So FIFA instead of Germany's pajamas? Would you like to borrow my vuvuzela whilst running the panel? XD

Malaria · « **Reply #753 on:** August 22, 2010, 11:52:50 pm »

I sort of have to finishing watching True Blood. >>

I'll think about the room. I dunno how much I wanna share a king bedroom with four other people. XD Then again, you guys are pretty low maintenance.

Auricle · « **Reply #754 on:** August 22, 2010, 11:56:39 pm »

Our room has two beds. ' w ' We might bring an air mattress as well.

Felix · « **Reply #755 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:11:53 am »

I'm planning on staying at PSU, maybe with Dylan? (even though I haven't met him yet...) ffffff hahaha my parents won't care. (I'm just unwilling to pay for hotelspace.)

Auricle - I can try! if not I'll use ace bandages but I'd like to use whatever's closest to what I'll have at the con (and ace bandages are a lot of trouble for just a fitting.)
Most hotels will put an extra bed in the room if you ask. c:

ehh, who's up for another fabric store run? I need thread that matches that weird colour of my vest and fabric for my Aang sleeve things.

Malaria · « **Reply #756 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:26:07 am »

I kinda wanna stay at PSU as a cost saving measure, but it's all very dependent-y.

No tripping for me. I've had to spend this weekend working on furniture-y stuff instead of sewing and wigs. 3:

Hashi · « **Reply #757 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:31:16 am »

Malaria I thought you said you went to bed HOURS ago..

@Felix: Idk about dylan because he said he may not be in town, something about family things, but I'll ask him again.

Malaria · « **Reply #758 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:42:07 am »

I totally put an addendum in my post about having to stay up for True Blood. >>
These things are not my fault. The gay vampires, they call to me.

Hashi · « **Reply #759 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:44:55 am »

Where are you watching this? ..im so behind on trueblood.

Malaria · « **Reply #760 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:47:29 am »

I just watch it online.
The last episode was kinda epic. Team Eric! Team Talbot In a Compote!

Hashi · « **Reply #761 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:49:22 am »

Do you even realize how vague that sentence is?
WHERE on the internet?

Malaria · « **Reply #762 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:51:56 am »

My sources are rather vague. XD
I pull links off sidereel.com

AHAHA LOOK WHAT JUST SHOWED UP ON THE FRONT PAGE: http://www.kumoricon.org/images/rotator/039.jpg

I just reread our formal panel description. So many exclamation points. XD

Hashi · « **Reply #763 on:** August 23, 2010, 12:57:13 am »

pffftt oh wow.

and yes. why wouldnt it have exclamation points? XD

Hashi · « **Reply #764 on:** August 23, 2010, 02:36:56 pm »

Im going to double=post for the sake of Progress

still need to distress it, connect it, and paint the swords. (the hand guards for the hook swords i went ahead and painted since theyre a different colour)

Malaria · « **Reply #765 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:18:18 pm »

Sakuracon prereg has apparently been open since July and we missed the $35 rate. 3: However, it's still $40! And that ends October 1st.

Hashi · « **Reply #766 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:19:45 pm »

WTF sak... well okay then. Did we wanna go ahead and reg?

Malaria · « **Reply #767 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:52:16 pm »

I don't think I can at this moment, but soon would be good.
Next year we won't miss the $35 rate. It's required.

Hashi · « **Reply #768 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:53:19 pm »

if Im there for sak 2012 ._.; I may still be studying abroad, remember?

I AM NOT POSSIBLY FLYING ALL THE WAY FROM DENMARK OR SCANDINAVIA TO WASHINGTON ON A STAVING STUDENT BUDGET.

Sorry. But It just may not happen.

Malaria · « **Reply #771 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:20:14 pm »

I know, I'm just being demanding. 'Sides, there are cons all across Europe that you can go to and bring back crazy stories from.

Hashi · « **Reply #772 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:27:43 pm »

Or I can just have crazy European stories to begin with, non-con involved lol

Felix · « **Reply #773 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:45:04 pm »

I still don't know if I'll be able to make it this year. It really depends... Ashland to Seattle is quite far (though not as far as scandinavia). I'm unwilling to prereg before I'm sure. :c

Hashi, when are you free for wig styling?
(and Jaqua you need to finish your katara stuff that I still have. did you do the stuff I told you to do after our workparty?)

I made pathetic progress today... but that's better than no progress, right? and I can always sew trim later.... ack.

Hashi · « **Reply #774 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:48:32 pm »

Im free anytime at all. Seeing as Im almost done, I'm free to help whoever needs it!

Auricle · « **Reply #775 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:23:45 pm »

I sewed a lot today. = w = Everything is cut out, most of the blue parts of my jacket and most of the lining for it are sewn together, and I'm ready to iron on some interfacing~

Hashi · « **Reply #776 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:26:25 pm »

Auricle you are AWESOME

Auricle · « **Reply #777 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:37:54 pm »

Thank you? = D

I think you're AWESOME too! > w < ('cause you're progress-tastic~)

Hashi · « **Reply #778 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:40:50 pm »

lolol thank you?

buh but my lungs hate me after all these fumes..

Auricle · « **Reply #779 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:42:49 pm »

I bet. > A < I hope those masks came in handy.

Felix · « **Reply #780 on:** August 23, 2010, 11:59:09 pm »

Wednesday or Thursday, maybe? The wig's all I need help with, I think.

Hashi · « **Reply #781 on:** August 24, 2010, 12:05:30 am »

How about Thursday? It shouldn't take too long to style. You wanted to try for the spike-ish look right?

jaqua · « **Reply #782 on:** August 24, 2010, 12:43:14 am »

@Valeria: We are super bros. That's why I love you.

@Auricle: I also lol'd for real at Broblerone.

@Felix: Ummmmmmmmmmmm well I've worked on stuff but... No. I haven't sewn on any trim yet :/ I HATE SEWING TRIM. But we do need to have a work party so we can work on everything. It'll have to be after this weekend though. Because I'm absolutely super booked through Sunday D:

ALSO TODAY I GOT MY ROSA WIG, I'M SO SO SO EXCITED, I LOVE IT. I also discovered that I look awesome with short dark hair. BUT I HAVE IT LKDFJSLDKF YAYYYY

Hashi · « **Reply #783 on:** August 24, 2010, 12:48:02 am »

Jaqua..I have a question about your cosplay lineup.

The avatar shoot is schedule for starting at 11 on Sunday. You will wearing full body makeup.

You also have Hungary listed for the Hetalia shoot. which is at noon.

even if the shoot lasts only 30 minutes (which is wont).. You'll be very very tan coloured for Hungary, unless you take a shower before you go to the hetalia shoot.

jaqua · « **Reply #784 on:** August 24, 2010, 01:00:46 am »

I'm... Really really glad you pointed that out. Changinggggggggggg

Hashi · « **Reply #785 on:** August 24, 2010, 01:03:47 am »

XDDD I like to plan, so when I read your sig I was like "...something..isnt right here..."

also. Shoot is at 8:30 for the PoSms, meaning. WHEN ARE YA'LL GONNA GET HERE SO WE CAN APPLY MAKEUP?

goatchild · « **Reply #786 on:** August 24, 2010, 02:13:41 pm »

I MISS YOU ALL AND ALL THE FREE TIME YOU HAVE TO WORK ON COSTUMES! YOU'RE ALL BEING SO PRODUCTIVE!! I have gotten very little done here. I probably will not get to sleep once I get back until Friday night. And I HAVE to sleep Friday night or I will not function for the Hetalia shoot and PJ Party. XD

Really this post is just an excuse to ask about my boomerang. >> Because I'm really excited for it and really really really thankful to you guys for working on it for me. Speaking of which, Auricle, is there something I and/or Hashi can do for you and your family as a thankyou for helping us with the weapons? Like, cookies, or I don't even know what? : x

Auricle · « **Reply #787 on:** August 24, 2010, 06:09:02 pm »

My dad and I will probably be cutting it out tonight, and I'll be delivering it to Hashi tomorrow hopefully. ' w ' As for you guys doing something for me...can I just reserve that favor for sometime when I really need it? : D

Hashi · « **Reply #788 on:** August 24, 2010, 08:39:55 pm »

@Auricle : <3

ALSO:

..im not done. but Im done with more than whats shown. Im just kinda lazy.

goatchild · « **Reply #789 on:** August 26, 2010, 08:04:28 pm »

@Auricle: Yay~! Thank you~!! And of course you can! I'll be ready whenever you are! Assuming I'm still in Portland. :x

@Hashi: W00T~!! I assume my sewing machine has been cooperating then?

Hashi · « **Reply #790 on:** August 26, 2010, 08:09:28 pm »

@Yagi: It did. but then it ran out of thread. Thankfully, all that was left was the leather belt, which was way too thick to sew anyways (6 layers in some parts) so it all worked.

goatchild · « **Reply #791 on:** August 26, 2010, 08:20:32 pm »

Well good. If you suddenly remember you need to sew something, just call me and I'll do my best to help. *feels really useless right now*

Hashi · « **Reply #792 on:** August 26, 2010, 08:22:35 pm »

Mkay! I will. I will also begin sanding your boomerang tommorrow probably...

goatchild · « **Reply #793 on:** August 26, 2010, 08:23:43 pm »

YAY~ BOOMERANG!! *does happy boomerang dance in head* I would dance for real, but it would just confuse everyone here. >>

Felix · « **Reply #794 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:16:11 am »

Progress update: I sewed most of the bottom trim onto Aang's thingy. I think that might be all I can do tonight because I need the iron. (If I have time later I'll post pictures in the AtLA thread...)

Hashi · « **Reply #795 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:17:06 am »

Wooohoooo!!! Phoottoooss~

I..didnt finish Jet tonight. But tommorrow. tommorrow

Auricle · « **Reply #796 on:** August 27, 2010, 06:26:10 pm »

My fingers are very slightly toasted from being impatient with the iron. ' w '; But I just got done sewing the lining, lapels, collar, and inside peplum to the blue part of my coat. Now I have to do shoulder tabs, sleeves, and cuffs. After that it's chill in front of the TV and sew buttons time. : D

Hashi · « **Reply #797 on:** August 27, 2010, 06:46:27 pm »

You rock at this Auricle!!

Seriously, all I have left is finish the belt and adjust armor and I still havnt done it OTL

I did get my contacts in though? In like, 2 minutes this time! Yaaaay~

Malaria · « **Reply #798 on:** August 27, 2010, 07:43:57 pm »

I'm gonna cheat and repost Hashi's post from the Avatar thread to show wig and contacts.

Quote from: Hashi on August 27, 2010, 06:09:21 pm

This is actually Hashi right now, but have a progress picture of Malaria

EDIT:

Still need to style the majority of the wig,and tweak the bangs but there ya go!

Auricle · « **Reply #799 on:** August 27, 2010, 07:52:00 pm »

@Malaria: Oh gawd you look terrifying. : D How'd the contacts putting in go? Did peer pressure help?

@Hashi: Why thank you~ I'm sure you'll get it done!

You can put contacts in in 2 minutes? I'd say that's quite a skill. It takes me at least 10. ' A '

It looks like I'm not gonna do the sleeves and everything tonight, though I want to. My mum wants to just chill, so teaching me sleeves and cuffs will come in the morning. = w =
