GenCon!

This year Boybee and I, along with a mess of friends will be attending GenCon Indy (Aug 4-7). I am more than pumped! This will be my 5th GenCon and Boybee's 70 Billionth - or there about.

GenCon is a gaming convention - board games, video games, RPGs both online and on-table, and just about any other type of game you can imagine. It features an awesome costume contest, anime stuff, fiction writing seminars, and all sorts of other awesome activities (they even have yoga!). I will be participating for the 4th time in a 7th Sea Live Action Role Playing (LARP) game run by the folks at Plaid Chameleon Games. I have put together a rather standard pirate costume for the event (pics will come, I assure you!). In addition to the annual 7th Sea LARP, they're also going to be running one for Girl Genius so I am in the process of putting together my *very first* steampunk costume. I scored this pocket watch at the local Cheap Costume Jewelry Store (tm):

Steampunk = pocket watch

Then, just for shits and giggles, I am also going to Cosplay my favorite character from a new comic book game Sentinels of the Multiverse, The Wraith. (http://www.facebook.com/sentinelsOTM)

Totally Sweet

I'm planning on wearing nude tights on my legs and arms and whip stitching bandages onto them to get  the look right. I also need to find a wig... any good sources for relatively cheap costume wigs? 

In conclusion, I owe you a giant picture full post detailing my costuming adventures. Stay tuned!
