My problem is figuring out how to get to the con... I might just end up packing everything and and going to work if I work that day then head to the con from my work... Yeah it would look strange.. Me in a McD's uniform with 3 bags and some painted nerf guns

Yep! I'm panicking! My friend's Paine cosplay is NOT even close to being finished and we have one week to get it done because I really don't wanna be working on stuff the week of the con. Plus I still have a lot to fix up and finish on both my versions of Rikku

This settles it. We all need a nice, soothing, huge cyber-group hug. Squishes! (hugs everyone who wants a hug)

I'm excited. Me and my girl friend are cosplaying as a pair that is somewhat blasphemous to the fan world (surprise) and our costumes are coming along ok, but I'm somewhat nervous about certain ebay items I ordered that I'm not hearing much about T_T

I am starting to get a little worried due to the fact that I can’t find a spinal cord for my prop. I was hoping that some of the Halloween stores would open a bit early this year to make my life easier, but no such luck. Worst case scenrio, I will go to Home Depot and make something work. :P

My concern is I won't be able to save enough for the Dealer's room(because August has been a drama month for me)... but, here's hoping.

If you go to hobby lobby and find the Crayola "Magic Model" clay, you can make all the pieces. Just get some string or cord and thread the bits on to it. When that clay dries it's really light so it shouldn't be like lugging around a bag of bricks. If you want a full length one though, that might not be an option...

Anyways, I'm so hyped! Gotta start making a list of things to bring and get them, fix my shoes and whatnot but it's gonna be epic~!

Try Party America or other party stores.  They get their Halloween stuff in really early.  I was just there today and they had a bunch of it out already.

I know everyone is really excited about NDK coming up so soon (I mean, less than two week? Holy cow!), but please remember that this thread isn't about discussing what cosplays you have to finish up. There are plenty of other threads about that already...

It's getting worse. Oh, gods, it's getting worse. I don't think I'm gonna be able to afford from-home snacks, my jeans don't fit 'cause I'm a moron so I had to get an embarrassingly baggy pair maybe I just won't be Locke this year, I still have to fix up that MP3 I bought for karaoke, I gotta get a new wig if I am Locke, gotta figure out a game plan on how to get to the hotel without getting lost or arriving a nervous wreck, omigaaaaaaaaaaaawd I'm so glad I'm on medication or else I wouldn't sleep at ALL.

(pant pant pant hyperventilate pant deep breath pant gasp) I can safely say I need my mommy and daddy.

Ah the excitement indeed. I have to somehow put in 40 hours between Sunday and noon on Thursday to get the time off I need for NDK, so more 16 hour days for fun  :-X, at least I have labor day off to relax but yeesh

I just decided a week ago that i'm actually going to go this year. With music business taking up so much time I thought I may have had to miss, but my NDK combo will be going strong for it's eighth year!
