It was Ninety Six in South Carolina, and that's the place and not the goddamned year. Sitting on the
Whirlwind report: I made it home from Tulsa on Wednesday, went to Coral Cafe and sorted out ribbons Thursday night, then drove to San Francisco Friday for AOD (fka Anime Overdose). Drove home Sunday, stayed up late getting Maria's computer updated and her ipod loaded; Monday pre-dawn went to airport with [info]library_lynn and Maria and drove the car home without them (and went back to bed). At work in afternoon, got word that they'd made it safely to Duluth; meanwhile, I've booked my room and tickets for Sacramento where I'll be Tuesday night. (Extended Stay America in Elk Grove, to be precised.) Anyone in Sacto. want to meet for a bheer or a milkshake Tuesday night? Call my cell, 714-20-MANGY.

Wednesday night I'll be home in my own bed, alone; Thursday night I expect I'll be at Coral Cafe sorting ribbons again... (Remind me to fly when I'm going solo to the Barea. Parking at the hotel was $45, plus there's gas, and my copious free time.)

AOD was where I introduced two of the new ribbons that I won't be bringing to [info]laconiv. It looks like "I'm just pretending to be underage" is a keeper, even if it wasn't usually applied to a "cosplay jailbait" situation. I also hung out in open mic Karaoke Saturday night, and passed out a few "Karaoke Addict" ribbons to people when they finished their songs.

[info]bovil, did you know that the CC26 flyers that were at AOD don't include the phrase "Costume Con 26" anywhere on the sheet?

[info]neo_serenity says she might be able to handle the Costume Repair Station for Friday (25 August) at L.A.con IV; I'm giving her one of my spare memberships. Thanks, Tiffany! I hope I'll see you this weekend. I'm going to be at the SoCal anime cosplay picnic in Laguna Niguel on Saturday, then hanging out with the [info]rum_group gang in Riverside.

"I'm just pretending to be underage"
[falls over giggling]

Oh goodness me, I *so* need one of those! Shame I won't be at WorldCon, really!

I don't think I'm bringing that one to Worldcon. I'll have it at the next anime con I attend, though.

Yes, yes I will. I got your message, I just needed to make sure I could get the day off. And I just recieved confirmation, so it's all good! I will give you a ring tonight on the 'mangyphone' and work out all the details of what I will need to do/bring. I'm so excited! Thank you so much for thinking of me for this position.

Worldcon and Friday

I'll see you at the thing Friday night. (White trash, huh?)

Duties are modest: Friday morning the 25th at 10:00 am be at the convention center to talk to Maria, if you haven't already, and to sit the Costume Repair Station area all day. You don't need to bring anything for that, we've got it all covered; the Costume Repair Station is open Wed.-Sun., and we have equipment and lots of fix-it supplies for it.

You'll be able to pick up your badge anytime after 3:00 pm on Monday the 21st, two days before the convention starts.

More later.

Great!

I'll be making a screened post in my journal today with directions and my home address for party attendees. Yep, come in your 'trashy' finest. *grin* If you get lost, call my cell. Party starts at 6ish.

You need to give one of the "I'm just pretending to be underage" ribbons to Jack Williamson.

Well, I wasn't planning to bring them... I need someone to take charge of handing out the "Tuckerized" ribbons, actually...

I'm setting up a mailing list so I can let people know when I'm
ordering more ribbons.

Want to be on it? Write to ribbons-subscribe@bostonbaden.com if you'd
like to add yourself to the mailing list.

Worldcon was great, you took my and my friends pictures, and you gave us jailbait/pretty boy ribbons to hand out, so that was very cool, I still have them, if you don't mind me handing thm out at other cons that would be really cool. But yes, I was told to ask you about getting ribbons made, though I did talk to you about it at the convention, and you mentioned we could get a couch put on our ribbon, anyway, hi, that was me asking, if this is the wrong place to ask my apologies, I just wasn't sure... okay done now, thank you again :)

Hey, how are you doing!? Go ahead and hang onto the jailbait and pretty boy ribbons for other conventions. And send me e-mail, hazelchaz at bostonbaden.com will work just fine for reaching me, and we'll talk about what you want. Expect to spend $20 for the first 40 ribbons, or $35 for the first 100; do you know how many you'd like?
